Maybe with a 50 hp outboard at full throttle...

Post a link if you have one. Something is rotten in Denmark, as they
say.

I noticed a recent news release to the effect that the PHRF for the Mac
26x has recently been lowered from 235 to 135! Does anyone have any
information or verification of this? As understood, some of the crews
racing the Mac 26x have put their boats on a plane, and by doing so, out
classed the competition and messed up the rating system for the rest of us!

This would mean that the Mac 26x would be considered faster than the
Beneteau 32, Aleron 28, Catalina 36, Catalina 34, Catalina 30, Hunter
34, J-24 or Island Packet 40, making it almost impossible for Mac 26
owners to compete in multi-class ratings.

Does anyone have any further info regarding this rating change?
