Jeff, I hesitate to say it but it looks like MacGregor marketing BS is
the sum of Jim Cate's knowledge about sailing. Maybe he will meet up
with Joe and start getting some good experience.

BTW I have a folder of boat brochures here, largely due to people giving
them to me. The Mac 26M has a mast that is approximately 1.5' longer
than the 26X. That's a substantial redesign, doncha think? The mast has
none of the features of the rotating mast Jim claimed. Wide spreaders,
swept back lowers, etc. The lead ballast is 300# yet the boat is only
200# heavier, dry weight. That means they took out 100# of fiberglass
somewhere... hmmm...
