The Macwester 26, the first production was shown at the 1965 Boat Show in London, and became an immediate success. In order to manufacture these yachts a former Fleet Air Arm hangar was leased on Ford Aerodrome in Sussex, and production commenced in February 1965.
This boat looks well presented with Twin bilge keels with rudder on long skeg. A very sturdy vessel and quite beamy too. The large central self draining cockpit is moulded with a deep well, high coamings and bench seats.
