I'll have my "M" tomorrow!
I guess the "D" for dagger board was the fastest sailing Mac for that reason, and I'm hoping our "M" with the taller mast & increased sails will be fun to sail.I've got a friend who has a Cal 27 and I've been wondering which will be the faster boat. It will probably be a lot of fun to compare the heeling and performance in all conditions. For light air the Cal has a lot more sail area, but is a lot heavier too. The Cal skipper is a racer with a lot of experience, but who knows, if we ever race in a situation where I can get the Mac to plane....
