Funny you should mention this. Just yesterday I happened to walk by a
Mac 26X and a Mac 26M parked on their trailers. Except that one was
painted blue, there was not an iota of difference in the hull design.


That's understandable as they're using the same molds for the hull.

If they're using the same molds, how do they manage to produce a deep-V
hull with a contour substantially different from that of the 26X? And if
they're using the same molds, how do they get rid of the five-foot
cavity in which the dagger board nested in the 26X? (Maybe they use some
dry-wall compound to fill in the cavity, and then paint to match the
rest fo the hull?) And if they're using the same mold, how do they
manage to fit the dagger board housing into the hull while adding the
permanent ballast?
