When you realize the it

Foamed mast??? I guess they're expecting the worst!

The foamed mast isn't the only thing tending to keep the boat upright
and afloat. It's an addition that apparently keeps the mast from going
under.

Greater than 3 kts on a beam... wow... speedster.

Last week I spoke with an owner who does race his boat, and he stated
that the 26M's performance was a substantial improvement over the 26x,
and that he is now routinely beating many boats that he hadn't with his
26x. He wasn't saying that he was coming in first, but he did say that
it was doing much better. I don't know what boats he was racing, and
it's a little early to make judgments on the new model, with relatively
few having been sold to potential racers. (Most are bought for family
cruising, not racing.)
