Qué cubre este vídeo
A 26-foot MacGregor 26x power sailboat spent five days cruising Lake Champlain, New York, navigating shallow anchorages, thunderstorms, and a damaged propeller. The owner trailered the boat to the lake, utilizing the vessel’s shallow draft to beach in protected, narrow river inlets and sandbars to avoid open-water storms.7:25 After sustaining propeller damage, the crew attempted to restore propulsion by manually bending the blades and grinding them for symmetry, achieving a limited motoring speed of four miles per hour.39:56 The trip involved buddy-boating with a second MacGregor 26x, allowing for shared anchoring strategies and social activities.0:46 The crew managed power needs for electronics and editing using a Bluetti portable power station.51:34 The voyage demonstrated the utility of the MacGregor 26x for multi-day, shallow-water exploration, though it highlighted the necessity of careful depth monitoring when beaching.
