Normally not my cup of tea, but I'm strangely drawn to this Turbo'ed Mac 19. Genius or mad science, you decide for yourself. I think it's kind of cool, but he'll sadly never see anywhere his investment on resale. But still.

I'll take....
...that bet
. I'll bet that boat is out of Canada and is either still owned by Highlander or was his. He is not afraid to try about anything. If it is his or was his he also has the 26' X and has at least 3 headsails on it also,Sum

he has 3 furlers and im still wishing I had one...:cry:
it appears to have either a gin pole or a whisker pole stowed at the front of the mast... i couldnt imagine it being a trailer sailer and trying to rig and de-rig that set up every weekend...

I'm thinking one of them (fore most) is some kind of kite. drifter most likely.
I wonder what kind of power on the stern...

Yeah that's the most overdone m19 in history.
Highlander had some great mod ideas though.
He used to be in my M19 yahoo group. He ran a 50 HP 4 stroke ( at least 20 mph with empty ballast) with a jackplate and wheel steering from a M26. Also a bigger 3 section mast....quite the birdcage!
The front headail is a huge "gennaker" and the other two are "Cutter rigged genoas".
Here's my M19 with a 40 hp honda.

This is like flying a B-24 under the Golden Gate Bridge. Not sure if you should give him a medal, or a court marshal. Here I'm going with the GCM.
Not the Golden Gate, but some arch flying....
