the F24 is a possibility for the trips I
have in mind. This thing can sail as fast as a Mac can power, and
actually drafts less.

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?

Didn't you hear? Key West hired a Mexican chicken catcher. No lie! Hey,
do you know why Negroes rarely marry Mexicans? They're afraid their
kids would be too lazy to steal.
