"What designer's have done for quite some time, is to give the market as
much of everything as they can. Some specific designs will lean toward
speed/handling while others will want a softer ride in a confused sea and
some stowage space so this design will pickup some displacement over a
similarly sized racer. Most newer designs try hard to please as many folks,
looking to buy a yacht in this size range, as possible. This leads to some
ugly stuff being done with sail (the Macgregor 26 for example) and
powerboats are not an exception of this rule either."

On this last one, are you on the right or the left. Assuming either way,
is the other your wife?

So much for mac "safety". Surprised mac didn't get sued over this one.
Should rename this thread, "unsafe at any speed".
