Can someone please let me know what the different letters for the 26s mean. I have a 26d. I know that means "daggerboard". What about the x, s, m etc?

Justin, I've been wondering about this for awhile and this seems like the appropriate time to ask.We really need a sticky on this question.
Both of these are C models, meaning "classic"
D = daggerboard
S = swingkeel
The X and M are powersailers - large engines for motoring. The M is the successor to the X
You are right. The 19 doesn't have an alpha suffix. I was trying to describe how the 19 fit into the lineage as a small water ballast powersailor as opposed to the rest of the pre-26' leaded keel models. Sorry for the confusion.Justin - I never heard of a 19M, though I taught myself to sail during the last 18 months in a MacGregor 19 ...
I think all M26's are water ballasted, ergo, no leaded keel models. Iron keels were discontinued in favor of water ballasted boats after the M25 run.as opposed to the rest of the pre-26' leaded keel models. Sorry for the confusion.
I'm not sure if they made both at the same time, but doubt that due to the size of the facility. What might be going on is when they were originally titled or like in the old days when the next year's cars came out in September of the prior year.Does anybody know the differences in each year and models for the Macgregors? I am a bit confused. I have seen 1995 26X boats advertised. I have seen 1996 26S boats advertised. Did they make both models at the same time? I thought 1995's were all S's and 1996 were all X's? How much over lapping of models was there?
