Seller's Description
Presenting the 1999 MacGregor 26X, a unique hybrid sail-power boat, thoughtfully designed and equipped with high-quality features that set it apart as an exceptional and rare find in the marine industry.
Measuring 25 feet 10 inches in length, this spacious boat integrates four conveniently arranged berths, making it a suitable choice for overnight sea voyages or daylight escapades with family and friends.
Engineered with a unique hull design, it offers effortless navigation in shallow waters. The water ballast system stabilizes the sailing experiences, and it can be drained for speed and trailering.
This boat has been upgraded with a 2021 Yamaha 25 horsepower, 20-in shaft motor. The motor boasts powerful performance for speedy transitions when sailing conditions are not optimal.
Inside the MacGregor 26X, a stainless steel sink, a recently installed marine battery connected to a battery switch, LED lighting managed by an updated control panel, and a spacious aft berth - turning short-term onboard living into a comfortable prospect.
Sailing equipment includes a recent headsail furler, a headsail 150% Genoa, and an easy-to-handle mainsail. The boat comes equipped with a newer lazy Jack for Mainsail stowage and a main sail kit that facilitates raising the main sail from the cockpit.
For navigation, this boat incorporates an Axiom 7 chartplotter with updated map, transducer, and autopilot integrated on the NMEA 2000 network. Additional equipment includes a recently-added Standard Horizon gx1400 VHF radio with a masthead antenna, providing fantastic range, and over 150 feet of anchor road and chain.
Furthermore, the boat comes with a 2022 custom-made single-axle trailer by Float On Trailers, a Sea View navigation pod for the chartplotter compass and depth display, and a recently added I-40 depth display by Raymarine. The Navpod is installed on a double swivel mount for easy viewing from any point in the cockpit.
Exterior enhancements include a relatively recent dodger and bimini. In a nutshell, the 1999 MacGregor 26X integrates performance, comfort, and a myriad of features that make maritime journeys riveting and memorable.

Calculations

10.0 kn
Classic: 6.43 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
22.5
>20: high performance
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
66.6
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
82.6
<100: Ultralight
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
9.4
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.4
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
As sail/power ‘hybrids’, both the M and X models are designed for use with a more than ‘auxilary’ sized outboard and water ballast.
The MACGREGOR 26M replaced the MACGREGOR 26X in 2003.
A similar version later reintroduced from another builder as the TATTOO 26 (2013).
