Oh my GAWD! Leave it to the Brits to figure out how to make a really
ugly Macgregor 26!
Maybe I shoulda gave the reporter more credit. He didn't mention it
because he didn't want
people barfing all over their computers. :-)

It's a Big Mac. Nice keel though. Obviously a "stunt" to advertise
dad's design.

ah, confirming that my instincts are on target. I smelled bull**** and now I
see I was right.
I posted a comment to the newspaper and they have not published it. I can
only assume they are only interested in posts that support their point of
view. Shameless.
Looks like dad's design is a safe boat for a solo crossing only if done in a
convoy.
It's all well and good, except that they are hoping to top someone's genuine
and honorable record.
