And the bottom line is that Macs suck!


Actually, it's a great boat. - Comfortable, lot's of room, responsive,
and fun to sail. According to a recent review, it's one of the worlds
most in-demand boats. - Over 5,000 of the previous model were sold, and
"indications are that the 26M, released in 2003, will be just as
successful." The article further notes improvements in handling,
pointing, etc., for the new 26M. The Mac isn't a good choice for a blue
water crossing, but it's great for the conditions many of us have,
particularly when it would take hours to motor out to a desired sailing
area in an "ordinary" keel boat limited by hull speed.
