Mac26X fit for all waters

wrote: I think the rigging on say an F7.5 or a Noelex 25 is about right - I think the Mac is too light (but admit I've read of few rigging failures). We have a bunch of them around here in SW FL. When I see them underway they are almost always under power in protected water. The ability to sail seems to be primarily an illusion and marketing gimmick. Once you get out into open water here with the wind blowing 20+, we sometimes get beat up a bit even on a 49 ft, 50,000 lb trawler. Going out in the Gulf Stream on a windy day in a lightly ballasted 26 footer of any type would be comparable to volunteering for the submarine service. |
