Qué cubre este vídeo
A MacGregor 26X reaches speeds of 8.1 knots while sailing downwind on Lake Champlain using only a jib.13:48 The owner tests the boat’s performance in 20-knot winds and a turbulent sea state, noting the vessel’s ability to steer itself downwind without constant helm input.6:23 During the passage, the boat carries a mobile dock in tow.13:16 The operator navigates into a shallow, uncharted river inlet without a depth sounder, relying on visual cues to avoid sandbars and grounding.18:07 The boat’s water ballast system allows for shallow-water exploration and beaching, which the owner uses to secure the vessel to a tree for an overnight stay.20:02 The trip serves as a trial for potential boat upgrades, including a permanent bimini structure and modifications to the sail track and boom height to improve visibility and ease of handling.5:42
