The Aggies should have sailed a Macgregor 26
 

Those crummy Beneteaus are always falling apart. They have a history of
shoddy workmanship and even had a severe blister problem during several
years of construction. It was like pulling teeth trying to get that know
problem repaired under warranty. Now it looks like Beneteaus have a problem
with the keels falling off.

The Aggies would never have had a problem had they been using a Macgregor 26
X or M. These fine vessels use reliable water ballast and a drop keel for
going to weather. There is no known case of a Mac26 every having lost a keel
or turning turtle because of it provided the water ballast tank was filled.

The facts are beginning to suggest that Macgregor builds safer boats than
Beneteau.
