the F24 is a possibility for the trips I

More correctly stated, it can sail circles around a Mac.

I had a ring side seat for the Corsair 28Rs at Key West Race Week this
year and they were extremely impressive. Here's a link to an

Very informative. The crew of Dealer's choice is clearly superior with
their upwind work. Must be Capt. Neal at the helm. He lives in Key West,
doesn't he?
