[Rhodes22-list] Mac 26x or 26M vs. Rhodes 22

[Anne M]

When you write "mac 26x", are meaning the MacGregor 26 with the 50 hp?
Are you meaning the ski boat with a mast? The sailboat that will only ski 
children under
110 lbs?
Now, understand, I have a real predjudice against that boat. However, there 
are alot of them
around. I suppose its interior is more roomy than the Rhodes. Take a sail in 
each boat you are
considering.
Have you tried to sail the "Mac 26x"? Dare ya.
Anne
