Right, so then we all agree that Ozzy is full of ****.

I think we're on opposite tacks. When we say "motorsailer", we think of a
vessel that will sail reasonably well, and motor reasonably well. An
experienced sailor told me that the "old" Mac26X sailed very badly indeed,
if the wind was under 8kts. you couldn't get the boat to move. I remember
myself last season trying out my new a-sail in very light winds, 4kts.
IIRC,
sailing by a Mac26x that didn't appear to be moving at all, sails up. It
didn't occur to me at the time, I figured he was just a novice and
couldn't
get the boat to move. He probably wouldn't have been able to get the boat
to
move under sail in those gentle breezes in any event. It appears that
MacGregor has made some modifications to improve the sailing efficiency of
the boat, but I would consider it more of a powerboat with a mast than a
"motorsailer", indeed, even MacGregor doesn't call it a "motorsailer"

He calls the Mac26X a motor sailer, exactly what it is.

OK, then what is it?
