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

[Peter Thorn]

Ruben,

I have sailed and spend many nights on both.  If you want to enjoy your
*sailing* experience, forget about the M26X.

A Rhodes 22 is a very fine trailerable sailboat for lake and coastal
cruising in protected waters.

Good luck.

PT

the great lakes, but would like to do offshore one of these days i.e sail to
around Newfoundland or Caribbean.

friendly then the new 26M but I like the 26M. Then spoke to someone who
hated the the macs and recommended the Odin 820. now i am really confused.
In my confusion as also started looking at Morris Yachts.
