Default Ignore the aesthetics, can it sail, and...WILL it be sailed?

about the Mac that is cause for alarm. No one here has sailed the new
Mac.



How about his expectation that he can motor away from incoming heavy weather
at lots of knots when the boat has the usual complement of sails, spars,
people, and gear? He seems to think he can make 'book speed', when that
speed is quoted for an unloaded and stripped-down boat.



What's the date and time of that particular post,
Wally? I can't seem to find it.
