Default Google proves MacGregor 26 is flimsy

You mean like "the Mac 26 will arrive ahead of the

fastest sailboat"? Or
maybe your references to how the water ballast "begins

to work after
being lifted above the waterline"?

Cast that beam out of thy eye, Jim!


I missed that comment the first time around. I'd like to

see a
stability analysis of the 26M/X. It certainly has a high

center of
gravity, and the metacentric height has to be pretty low.

And the other issue is that the water ballast extends all

the way from
stem to stern. This can't be helping the pitching moment

at all.

I think they're including the holding tank on that one.
