The Macgregor 26X, built from 1995 to 2003, is a 7.9-meter fractional sloop designed by Roger Macgregor as a sail/power hybrid with water ballast. Its centerboard hull allows a draft of 1.7 meters and it displaces 1701 kg. Owners frequently use the Macgregor 26X for exploring shallow waters, with its swing-up centerboard and retractable rudder enabling navigation in depths as shallow as nine inches. Aboard Adventureman Dan, the boat has cruised Lake Champlain and a Vermont river, reaching speeds up to 8.1 knots under sail and navigating log-strewn waters without water ballast, centerboard, or rudders deployed.0:12 Crews manage electrical needs with portable solar arrays and power banks, supporting devices like refrigerators, laptops, and composting toilet fans.2:01 The boat's trailerable design facilitates access to various waterways, though owners like Adventureman Dan have noted challenges with inadequate trailer guideposts.18:56 Modifications often include electrical system upgrades, bow storage, and inflatable stern docks to enhance livability and utility for extended cruising.0:45 The Macgregor 26X is often seen buddy-boating with identical models, and its shallow draft allows for bow-to-stern anchoring to trees for stability and shade, or beaching in protected inlets.11:45
