26 ft sail boat capsizes in San Diego bay.
3 guesses what boat brand, first two don't count. Hint: It's built in SoCal. Lew |

Capsize
Lots of confusion about this story so far... But, I find it hard to imagine how a legitimate rental outfit could be in full compliance with the law, renting a boat in San Diego with New Jersey registration numbers, coupled with an expiration sticker from the state of Indiana... If this was indeed a rental, I suspect somebody is gonna be in deep doo... |

I think it's a Mac 25. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/28...at-expedition/ Pic of actual boat, with off-center cutout for OB. Mac 25 cutout is on centerline. Cast iron swing keel, no water ballast. Mac 26 is water ballast, centerboard. --Vic |

From my experience with a WindRose 18 with a swing keel, the position makes a big difference in stability. It also seems to me that 10 people is aobut 4 too many for that size boat. You can't put them all in the cockpit and you can't sail safely with novices forward of the mast. I wonder if they even had 10 life jackets aboard. Mark Borgerson It seems like a repeat of the incident in the east (New York?) about a decade ago. 10 people in the cockpit of a sailboat like the MacGregor built boats is a perfect set up for an accident. As the song goes "When will they ever learn.", but since history is considered unimportant, they never will. |

Probably a Mac26C which does have water ballast. http://sbo.sailboatowners.com/images/kb/pdf/1340.pdf Wilbur Hubbard |
