About the MACGREGOR 25 MH
Dimensions for masthead rig. See MACGREGOR 25 for more details.
The MacGregor 25 MH is a compact, trailerable sloop designed by Roger Macgregor and built by Macgregor Yacht Corp. (USA) in 1980. With a displacement of 2100.0 lb and a masthead sloop rig, it represents an early iteration of the brand's innovative folding mast concept, though specific hull production counts are not available in the source data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend warriors who prioritize easy trailering and storage due to its 25.0 ft LOA and 2100.0 lb displacement. Its light weight and variable keel options make it ideal for shallow-water access and single-handing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.48 and a comfort ratio of 8.73, the MacGregor 25 MH is designed for protected coastal waters rather than extended offshore passages. Its light displacement of 2100.0 lb and 625.0 lb ballast indicate it is not optimized for heavy weather bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Catalina 22 and O'Day 23, as they share similar 22-25 ft LOA dimensions and target the same market of affordable, trailerable cruisers. The MacGregor 25 MH distinguishes itself with its unique folding mast design, unlike the fixed rigs of these contemporaries.
