Ganz, for one thing, no one on this ng has been able to come up with ANY
reference to ANY instance of ANY Mac 26 (X or M models) sinking under ANY
circumstances. That in itself is pretty convincing evidence that the
floatation is effective to keep the boat afloat in a variety of difficult
environments and situations - This was the case even in the unfortunate
instance involving the drunk skipper on a Mac26X (not M), with drunk

in a washing machine with heavy and sharp objects. You'd find yourself in
a non-habitable environment of flying hazards including yourself that
would break your bones into mush. In desperation to escape, you would
vacate the premises, and then either be thrown off the boat by the wave
action or you would remove yourself from the boat deliberately. Either
way, you wouldn't survive."
