I have a 1983 Catalina 30 TR that my wife and I use mostly as a day sailer with occasional overnight trips (2 this season, 3 last season). At a small local boatshow I saw a MacGregor 26X. My wife and I are thinking that this may be a better boat for our needs. In our area (southern Chesapeake Bay, Hampton Roads area) there are LOTS of long rivers that look like they'd be great for playing around on, but with the Cat 30, speed under power is too slow to go that far. Although I love sailing, I also like the idea of being able to power in the mid to upper teens when I actually have a specific destination to get to by a certian time. So, am I nuts for considering "downsizing" to a newer MacGregor 26X?
