The boat

Learn to handle a water ballasted sailboat while cruising beautiful Lake Pleasant in Arizona. The swing keel, 12 inch draft and 50 Hp motor are ideally suited to this inland desert lake paradise. Nothing beats an Arizona sunset and a cooling desert breeze off the water. Head south from Scorpion Bay for breakfast or lunch at Lake Pleasant Marina, then return to your slip after a day of exploring the lake, Humbug Bay or looking for eagles as you motor up Hassayampa River canyon. Return to Dillons at Scorpion Marina bay for their famous Kansas City BBQ , dancing and dock parties. Arizona's best kept secret awaits. Hire me to Captain your first trip and teach you about this boat and show you the lake. Then take her out on your own next time!

A Minnesota lad, I've always been around water and freshwater boats - motorboats, hydroplane racers, raced sailing scows, lateen rigged sunfish, day sailers and catamarans. Now I own and enjoy this Mac26X power Sailor. Southern Exposure (SoX) is a great trailer-able boat. Large for a pocket cruiser but tows light after draining 2840 lbs of water ballast. The swing keel design is perfect for inland and coastal weekend sailing . 350 days of sunlight a year and we are boat crazy. Motor out, set the sails, power trim the motor up and you're sailing. My favorite sailing is under a full moon on a desert summer night. No mosquitoes here. I use a spray bottle mister on hot days and jump overboard for the occasional total body cool down on 100 degree days. SoX is not a race boat, but my wife and I enjoy our tunes and time on the water watching cactus go by, desert sunsets and full moons. It doesn't get any better. Google the MacGregor 26 you tubes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G2bZTjB7wo to get familiar with the 26X. Being both a sailboat AND a motor boat adds some complexity - but, let me show you how easy it can be.
