Again, despite the thousands of Mac 26's out there sailed in US and
foreign waters, we have NO reports of Mac 26M's breaking up and
sinking in ANY conditions. NONE!

Have a nice day Salty.

Jim




Please prove this. I see no evidence of this in your post.


What I said was that we have no reports of Mac 25M's breaking up and
sinking. In any conditions.

Unless I missed them, no such reports have been identified or posted on
this newsgroup, Ganz. AFAiK, neither you or any of your Mac-bashing
buddies have been able to find or post any of them. On the other hand,
maybe I'm mistaken, and you DID post them. If so, kindly give me the
date and time of your post(s).

Thanks,
Jim

As for it being any type of "blue-water cruiser", here's what Roger
MacGregor says about it in a Practical Sailor interview

First, in case you didn't notice, that article isn't discussing the Mac
26M. It's talking about the old 26X. The new model includes a number of
upgrades, a completely new hull design, and the addition of permanent
ballast in addition to the water ballast.

Secondly, Roger's discussion of the old 26X models isn't substantively
different from my own statements concerning the 26M.
