MacGregor 26X BEAR HUNT on trailer under snow
Qué cubre este vídeo
A 2002 MacGregor 26X features a swing keel, water ballast system, and a 90-horsepower outboard motor, offering a shallow-draft alternative for coastal cruising and trailer-sailor versatility. The swing keel pivots upon impact with underwater obstructions, providing a mechanical advantage over the daggerboard found on the later MacGregor 26M model.1:28 The water ballast system consists of internal channels that must be filled completely to maintain stability; partial filling causes the ballast to shift to the low side during a heel.11:51 The cockpit accommodates a 90-horsepower outboard, which allows for high-speed transit to offshore fishing grounds, though the motor requires a steering bar disconnect to improve rudder feel while under sail.5:46 Interior modifications include an expanded electrical panel, a custom V-berth configuration using modular cushions, and a portable heater for cold-weather use.18:07 The boat’s dual-axle trailer supports maintenance outside of a boatyard, allowing for repairs to bearings and fiberglass on-site.0:48
