Nope. (Getting sort of monotonous, isn't it?) What I claimed was that
the new boat is a significantly different design.


Let's get something straight. The changes are not huge. The design of the boat
remains quite close to the 26X. No large jumps were made. You only have to look
at the numbers to see that. Perhaps the M will have marginal advantages. But
let's put that is honest perspective. It'll have marginal advantages over a
boat with pretty poor sailing characteristics. Is that what you want?
