Outgun? No. Outrun...now that's a different story. Anyone thinking about powerboating 'round the world? Outrunning may not always be possible, so...
Ok, even if the TP52 is not the FOYD, but the FOLR, fine. It's still better than the MacGregor 26...and 65...as a FACT, just as the open 60 and...
Could the bowsprit be solely for the spinnaker? All I know is that that boat is cutting edge...the FOYD...with a canting keel and REAL ballast.
Volvo 70: AFT TRIM BALLAST TANK, not a fully water ballasted boat! It has a canting keel with a 9900 pound bulb...I recall you saying that...
"operator of the 26X got underway without the water ballast the boat rolled over and the kids died." And there is ONE of many problems with...
"The general shape of the hull should be cods head and macrell tail." Ted Brewer says that its better for going backwards...
The crack pipe has been removed. For it was unwarranted and a stupid attack on my part. "The Mac26x is far more seaworthy than the Etap26i...
But at least I'd like to give him the opportunity to address what he's written while clearly drugged....
I found something QUITE funny on Mighetto's site. "Outstanding hull symmetry and balance allow unballasted motoring and sailing which is unusual...
While I will read his website, I want to hear this from the 'horse's mouth,' so to speak.
Personal attacks are certainly poor form. But Mighetto, you didn't answer my question. Why is the Mac 26 such an 'excellent' cruiser/racer in your...
For certain...but, perhaps, some sort of chin joystick (as used by paraplegics) could be used? Maybe this could add the ability to use hand...
That's not planing...that's DEFINATELY a stern wake.
2 pence is a bit more than 2 cents. But re: hand cranks...what about a foot-only propulsion system using a joystick (of sorts) to turn a rudder?
Jim, post the photo. I wasn't able to find it, but if you post it, we'll all be able to take a look.
