The MacGregor 26X represents one of the most polarizing yet commercially successful experiments in 20thcentury naval architecture. Introduced in 1995 as a successor to the more sailingfocused MacGregor 26S (swing keel) and 26D (daggerboard) models, the 26X was designed specifically to bridge the gap between a highspeed outboard cruiser and a trailerable family sailboat. By the time production shifted to the 26M model in 2003, MacGregor had produced over 5,000 units, cementing the "powersailer" as a legitimate, if debated, category in the marine industry. The boat’s primary innovation is its hybrid hull, which features a relatively flat aft section to facilitate planing under power, paired with a massive 1,200pound water ballast system that can be drained for lightweight trailering and highspeed motoring.
