Qué cubre este vídeo

A McGregor 26 trailer sailor undergoes sea trials on a small lake to test several custom modifications, including a swim platform, a water ballast system, and a boomless Genoa sail configuration.0:08 The owner uses a push pole to maneuver the boat in shallow water and against the wind during launch.2:58 The water ballast system, when full, improves tracking and weight distribution at low speeds, though the bow still rises during acceleration.17:03 The swim platform increases accessibility to the water and provides a stable surface for boarding.3:38 Sailing without a boom simplifies the deck layout and prevents shading of solar panels, though the owner notes the configuration requires further testing in higher winds to evaluate performance.18:17 The owner also experiments with steering the boat from the water while swimming alongside it.14:49 Future planned upgrades include a full Bimini enclosure with integrated solar panels.20:20
