Default Google proves MacGregor 26 is flimsy

You mean like "the Mac 26 will arrive ahead of the fastest sailboat"? Or
maybe your references to how the water ballast "begins to work after
being lifted above the waterline"?

Cast that beam out of thy eye, Jim!


I missed that comment the first time around. I'd like to see a
stability analysis of the 26M/X. It certainly has a high center of
gravity, and the metacentric height has to be pretty low.

And the other issue is that the water ballast extends all the way from
stem to stern. This can't be helping the pitching moment at all.
