Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A MacGregor 26X cruising Lake Champlain demonstrates shallow-water capabilities, including anchoring against a fallen tree and surfing downwind in open water.0:12 The vessel, equipped with a portable solar setup, achieves charging rates of up to 371 watts using a Bluetti power station.8:49 During downwind sailing, the operator discovers that lifting the rudder slightly out of the water reduces drag and increases speed by approximately one knot while surfing waves.18:01 The boat’s shallow draft allows for beaching and maneuvering into tight, secluded inlets inaccessible to deeper-keeled vessels.4:50 The operator manages bow-and-stern anchoring in tight quarters, occasionally bumping the shoreline, and utilizes the boat's motor to maintain speed and control in following seas.20:15 The trip highlights the versatility of the MacGregor 26X for coastal exploration and the ease of managing its systems for solo cruising.
