Cat 30's outsold the 26X. I would guess that more people have done
more sailing and cruising in Benehuntalinas than in Macs. And here's
a question (that we can only speculate on): for how many people is a
Mac the last sailboat they own?


Wrong, wrong wrong. The Mac 26 has the record for the most sold of any
other sailboat in the entire world.


This is total nonsense. It isn't even the largest selling boat from
MacGregor! The Catalina 30 fleet is 6500, more than the 26X.

And as for "any other sailboat," there are a number of sailboats that
have sold 10 times the number of any of the Mac designs. There may
even be a few that have sold 10 times as many as all the Macs put
together!
