Jeff, as previously stated, the Mac 26M is well suited for the conditions
experienced by most sailors 95% of the time. And I haven't read of any
instances in which a Mac skipper was caught offshore in heavy weather
that prevented him from making it back to shore. It's a coastal cruiser,
and I have never claimed that it was suitable for extended crossings,
live-aboards, trips to Mexico, or the like.


Maybe they're smarter than we think?


At 40-kts., the Mac would not be comfortable, but it would make it back
to shore. Incidentally, what would you do if your cat flipped over off
the crest of a wave offshore and turtled? That wouldn't happen in the
Mac, which would simply ride down the wave and pop back up again.


I don't think you can know this for certain. I think it's a wishful
guess, since you would never get out in those conditions.



Guess I'll never know, Capt.

Well, good for you!
