Note the range of responses.Californians accustomed as they tend to be to snobbery, will have you think they are junk. They'll happily drink you beer long as you're paying, so avoid these nuts.Tom is an owner, his comments are spot on and honest. Mine happily cruises at 4-5 kts given 10 kt breezes. I is, as all sailboats are, a compromise. S and D models are water ballast, easy to trailer, and fine handling poptop sailboats. Race one in somethting else and find out. X and M models have large roomy cabins with standing room, and are good, not great sailboats.They are excellent cruisers, and both X and M can carry larger outboards and will make 10-15 kts under power. All MACs are made from inexpensive, easily available parts and are designed to be low maintenance, hence thhey do not sport a lot of impressive teak. I've enjoyed the he** out of mine, but then i don't spend any time tied up at a yacht club. I'd rather sail. The worst thing about mine is it's trailer, but these are easily replaced.
