Mac 19

[Gary Stern]

I am considering a 19 because my town does not allow boats to be parked on the drive or in the yard. I like the 26X, but a 19 will fit in my garage. From my research, it appears the 19 will do everything that the 26X will and it has more than enough room for 2 over night and 4 on a day sail. I would really appreciate owner comments.

M-19

I bought a M-19 back in March and have been sailing it at least once a week since May. I'm very happy with the boat. It does just what I got it for - Gets me out on the water with the family and we can sail a bit, motor a bit, swim off it, and there's room for two adults and our three kids. Every boat is a compromise, but so far, so good with the M-19. Motors well enough (never seen 25 m.p.h. but I can hit 20 when on it by myself) I've never been on a 26x, but I suspect they are similar in character to the 19. Goos luck and happy motor sailing!
