I don't know of anyone who's first time out was "perfect", but it is the one that we all remember. The anticipation, excitement and the bit of apprehensive fear, leaves a memorable trip. Congratulations to you both, the adventure has just begun.
Thats a lot of wind for your first time out. Its tempting to go when you have a day off, but some people only go when they have a day off and good weather. Its usually more relaxing that way. Congrats on getting the 26-X, its the best boat Roger MacGregor ever made.
Thank you for making this video. I remembered my first time and it's great to see this in video. I have the same boat! Following like and subscribed. Keep it up.
enjoyed your video. We learned sailing on our Mac 26M--they are tremendously fun and versatile boats. (but yes, read, study and experience and you'll love it) My wife is a better sailor than she knows but we each have our primary routines--I get in trouble when my antics put her past her comfort zone. Communication is paramount--it'll help get you through those occasional 'holy crap' moments! I'll subscribe so that I can check out the rest of your videos.
You all did better than us on our first trip out. Glad to see you working together, it will get better and yes, studying some good videos is the quickest and simplest way to get some great sailing info. May God grant you many relaxing trips together.
Little by little we are learning more. Not only about the boat and how to sail but how to work together well!!! Whew! Thank you so much for watching and supporting us!☺️
I am empressed with how well you handled the boat first time sailing in those conditions. Did I see spay coming off the waves, if so the wend could have been 25 or more. Great video.
Very nice job videoing. Haven't seen such a 'bare bones' X in a long time. Makes me realize how much we've changed ours. Hope to see more from you both soon. Thanks much!
Nice Im across the border here in Ontario and have been thinking to get a macgregor 26 so Ive been searching youtube for other people's experiences with the boat
@@jimmywrenches5263 Well, definitely stay tuned... we are going to be sharing more boat projects coming up during our off season. MacGregors are so fun!!

Thank you so much for watching! We certainly learned lots. We are looking forward to the next sailing season!!!☺️
Y’all are brave to go out green in those conditions. Baptism by fire for sure. Great job 👏
Thanks so much!! It sure was!

Super gutsy (and gusty)! I had too much wind on my first attempt and chickened out where's my 26s🤪

Thank you so much! We are so pumped to keep learning. Thanks for subscribing, hopefully we can learn lots from you too!!😊
Excellent video on our 26X we have a 50 hp mercury Bigfoot on a power lift, for ALL up wind work then only sail down wind 😎👍⛵️🏝🐬 enjoy
Ohhhh! That’s awesome. We will get there someday! Thank you so much!☺️
Nice! Where did you get the Cupholder in front of the Steering from ?
They have cup holders very similar at West Marine. Not quite sure where the original owners got it from.

Thank you so much! We look forward to adding more fun gadgets and upgrades soon! Lots of work to be done in the "off season"!
Congrats on your first sail
Thank you so much!
what is your maximum speed knots with that 20hp engine at sea?
We aren't quite sure, we are still working on getting all the correct electronics. Our guess would be around 8-10 knots. Thanks so much for watching!
Good video.. what body of water are you on?
We started off in the Saginaw Bay in Michigan and worked our way out to the big water… (Lake Huron) Thank you so much for watching!
