This is a mid production example of the Mk I version of the C S J Roy designed Macwester 26.
The 26 was the first Macwester model and proved to be a popular and very tough bilge keel cruiser with a lot of space for a boat of its size.
The Macwester 26 is similar in many ways to the Westerly Centaur and is a comparable boat. If you're considering buying a Centaur, don't miss looking at this one.
The owner is currently fully refurbishing the interior. Once this is completed we will return and take a full set of photographs and 360 degree tour inside.
The price indicated includes the full interior refurbishment.
With new rigging, new sails, a new engine and a refurbished interior she is well worth a look.

The twin bilge keels are fitted with 10 inch extensions bringing them to a length comparable with the later Macwester 27. This considerably improves windward performance as well as reducing weather helm.
She has recently been fitted with a new Volvo MD2020 diesel engine that has only done approximately 100 hours.
