Could anyone explain to me the difference between a sloop and a non-sloop? Are there any differences in the interior of the boat, (ie. layout, galley, head, etc). Specifically the Mac-25 and Mac-25 Sloop....

Ummm...
Perhaps you are referring to the s in 25s, it refers to a swingkeel and not sloop. As far as I know all the 25 and 26 models are rigged as sloops, meaning a simple mainsail and foresail plan.

Sloop vs non-sloop
A sailboat that has only one mast is called a "sloop" ... the Mac25 is a "Sloop" (please see the Macgregor Owners.com website for a pln view of the MacGregor sailboats) Bottom line ... enjoy your sailing and don't worry about "sloop"!

venture 23 cutter
A cutter rig has 2 head sails on one mast. the venture 23, (and maybe the 22/21?) had this setup. very nice for storms, and good way to go wing/wing, or get a lot of cloth up... light air... just about anything else would need 2 masts.

Visit" http://boattalk.com ... ere you can see photos of the various silboat configurations, including: SLOOP = Sailing vessel rigged with one mast and a single jib and mainsail YAWL =Two-masted boat where a smaller, shorter mast, called a mizzen, is located behind the steering mechanism, or helm. KETCH = Two-masted boat where the mizzenmast stands before the helm CUTTER= Similar to a sloop except sails are arranged so that many combinations of areas may be obtained. Happy sailing!

What about a fractional rigged sloop?
So what is a fractional rigged sloop? Does this mean that the forstay attaches only part way up the mast like on the Mac, instead of at the top? Kirk
