A yacht that planes under power !!!, Yes you had better believe it. The MacGregor 26X has a planning hull with power boat steering, a feature that makes this Power Sailer unique. Lift the swing keel and twin rudders and the 50 Hp outboard drives the yacht up onto the plane with ease where the self draining water ballast drains away the weight.
Like a sail but not enough time, then your worries are over sail away to destinations beyond the usual trailer sailer distance, then return under power at up to 20 Kts to the safety of your ramp or harbour. This is boating to wish for. |
