are you under the impression that a mac26 is double hulled?



It is double hulled, but the space in between the layers is water ballast, which
gives you a head start on filling up the rest of the boat with water.

Of course, if only the lower hull is penetrated, water doesn't get into
the cabin at all. Also, as mentioned above, the built-in flotation will
keep the boat afloat even if water enters the cabin.
