How slow is the Mac26 under sail? I tried to check. Found a SF Bay
site that listed the Mac 26 as PHRF 221, Morgan OI as 216 (amazing)
and the Westsail 32 as 222. A Chesapeake based site listed the Mac 26
as being 234, Alberg 30s as over 240 , most Freedoms as over 240. I
was surprised at the "Name Brands" that had high PHRF. So, the Mac26
may be slow under sail but seems to be in good company with many REAL
sailboats being much slower.


*if* you hope to "sail", or motor, a mac 26 anywhere you might take any one of
those other boats you are going to die.

consistent reports are the Bahamas beaches are littered in mac 26's the owners
did not wish to "sail" or motor back to Florida in.
