For Jim and his Mac, quite a bit! :-)


On a light, responsive boat like the Mac 26M, we don't have to wait
until we get 25+ knot winds to have an enjoyable cruise, JG. It's sort
of analogous to the difference between driving a lightweight sports car
like a Porsche or Ferrari, (equivalent to my boat) or a heavy vehicle
such as a Suburban or Town Car (equivalent to heavy conventional boats
that take 1/4 mile to get up to speed). - Of course, it's largely a
matter of personal tastes. Like, some people enjoy driving Ferraris and
Porsches, whereas others prefer driving a Suburban.

Jim
