With all this chatter about the MacGregor 26D being the fastest is more than likely true. As Sumner pointed out, you have to know how to use what you have.
MacGregor is still using my 26D, testing his data for the new 75 footer.
That being said, I will be installing a rotating mast in the near future for the fact that she will heel less and not need the jib as much. Less heeling keeps the crew happy!
