Start with
an Island Packet, Swan, Valiant, Sabre, or the like, and

then, when you have learned what you can from it, take the leap and move up to a Mac26M.

You will then be able to experience everything that sailing has to
offer, and you'll

appreciate it even more from your prior experience on conventional,
albeit dull boats.





What stupid advice!

What are you talking about Nell? It's quite logical that he should start
with a good, but conventional boat, and then move up to a Mac. - Save
the best for last.
