Looking for 26X/M owners in NY/CT/NJ

Post by avinoam83 »

I’ve been sailing for about a year and am considering buying a boat for overnights with my wife and two small children. I’ve been eyeing the 26X/M because of trailerability and the flexibility provided by its motor. However, I’ve never seen one up close and I have some questions regarding its suitability for my area (Long Island Sound). Are there any 26X/M owners out there in the tri-state area?
