Default Mac 26

The M has a completely different hull, with deeper V, and uses a narrow
dagger board instead of a pivotable keel. Because the keel doesn't
pivot back into the hull, there is no six-foot recess or pocket in the
hull for receiving the board, and no corresponding "hump" in the cabin
floor. The mast is several feet higher, and the main has a more narrow
profile. The hull has an additional layer of fiberglass. Additionally,
the boat includes several hundred pounds of fixed ballast, in addition
to the water ballast. There are a number of other changes to the cabin,
cockpit, and exterior.


Yep, and it's still a piece of junk.
