Was going to post this as soon as I read it, but I though I'd wait until it
became available online. The most striking thing was turning the page after
the Mac review and seeing the Malo.

A little later, seeing the article about sailing somewhere on a Canadian
lake and noticing that was a Mac in the background of one of the pics, and
apparently the author's boat as well. But, as the man himself says, it sails
better than a powerboat and powers better than a sailboat!

I've mentioned the Malo before. If I wasn't hooked on performance, I
would be saving up for one. I suspect that when I get a bit older (like
Oz), that I will want one.

The report, IMHO, understates the level of standard equipment. I was unable
to find anything that I would want to add to the basic package. Standard
items included central heating, *Two* fridges (one between the starboard
armchairs), an electric windlass, fenders, mooring lines, anchor, sails,
etc.... etc.


I cannot remember if the bow thruster was standard, but I assume that it
was.


A lovely boat .... just a little too slow [sigh]......

OK, then what is it?

Which part of Scotty's post was too difficult for you to understand?

I thought the juxtaposition was funny, read the very kind Mac review, turn
the page, read the Malo review. It seems the Malo story was copied verbatim
from the print edition minus the photography.

Oh I understand, he's just wrong is all.

How *very* Australian.

The designer of the 26X calls it a motorsailer.

Well, it is, isn't it?
