Mac 26? No, but same idea. A 100% powerboat spliced with a 100% sailboat. Mac 26's big bro is the Mac 65...ugh. The 65 is way too modern for my tastes, as is this powersail. Give me a nice full keel and a nauticat any day.

440 hp engine and it only cruises at 18 Knots....They said the titanic was virtually unsinkable. I think that may be the worst advertisement I've ever seen..

Absolutely ridiculous, I agree. 440 hp and 18 kts. Sad, isn't it? Its a manhood extention, no more.

If you look at the 20...IT takes 800 hp to do the same thing.

The sails are the Emergency air brakes for stopping.

Mighetto was quite deluded. But back to that ridiculous boat: Seems like a boat for poseur-sailors.
