Scout,

Dog and I watched a 26M go out of the Harbor the other day, Temp 74.
wind about 12 knots. It didn't even have a boom on. Owner wasn't even
pretending to be a wind jokey

He was the only power boat on the Bay though. He had his Mast up and
rigged.
Don't know if he had the boom & sail below? That cabin on the 26M is
probably big enough to hold that.

The wind was blowing out of the South, right on his nose. He may have
been motoring out to get some good, easy sailing. I was thinking that a
26M is exactly the right boat to do that but not rigging the Boom on the
Hard made me doubt it. Didn't hang around to see.
