The MacGregor 26X represents one of the most polarizing yet commercially successful experiments in 20th-century naval architecture. Introduced in 1995 as a successor to the more sailing-focused MacGregor 26S (swing keel) and 26D (daggerboard) models, the 26X was designed specifically to bridge the gap between a high-speed 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 1,200-pound water ballast system that can be drained for light-weight trailering and high-speed motoring.
