Hello,
We have owned a 1995 MacGregor 26X and enjoy it very much. The boat has many modifications and is well organized.
One issue that we have is that the boat appears to have a permanent lean to the left (port) by a couple of degrees. Our batteries are on the port side, but I keep our fuel tank on the starboard side normally full. All in all, I cannot find a particiular item that should shift the center of gravity to one side. The boat behaves the same whether the water ballast is in or not. The rigging appears to be all symmetrical and straight.
It has not been a big issue, and the primary passengers typically just sit on the starboard side which straightens out the boat, yet I still would like to solve it if possible.
Has anyone else noted a similar issue? If so, is there a particular cause or reason for this to happen which I may have overlooked?
Appreciate any help and suggestions
Andy and Caroline Sigrist
