For Jim and his Mac, quite a bit! :-)

On a light, responsive boat like the Mac 26M, we don't have to wait until
we get 25+ knot winds to have an enjoyable cruise, JG. It's sort of
analogous to the difference between driving a lightweight sports car like
a Porsche or Ferrari, (equivalent to my boat) or a heavy vehicle such as a
Suburban or Town Car (equivalent to heavy conventional boats that take 1/4
mile to get up to speed). - Of course, it's largely a matter of personal
tastes. Like, some people enjoy driving Ferraris and Porsches, whereas
others prefer driving a Suburban.

Jim


You sure do spend a lot of energy trying to defend your boat.

It is NOT comparable to a Porshe or Ferrari. It is comparable to a Ford
Escort, except that it's twice the price.

But, good for you. You've got a nice big engine that will hopefully get you
out of those terrible 15 kts wind conditions and back on dry land.
