26 ft sail boat capsizes in San Diego bay.

3 guesses what boat brand, first two don't count.

Think they got the boat wrong. I think it's a Mac 25.

Pic of actual boat, with off-center cutout for OB.
*****Mac 25 cutout is on centerline.******
Cast iron swing keel, no water ballast.
Mac 26 is water ballast, centerboard.

Correction: Mac 26 cutout is on centerline.
