MacGregor 21

The MacGregor 21 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Roger MacGregor as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1980.

The MacGregor 21 is a development of the Venture 21.

Production
The design was built by MacGregor Yacht Corporation in the United States, from 1980 until 1985, but it is now out of production.

Design
The MacGregor 21 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel. It displaces 1175 lb and carries 400 lb of cast iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft with the swing keel extended and 12 in with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. Cabin headroom is 39 in.

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 252 and a hull speed of 5.8 kn.
