I loved this post and have learned a lot. My 26S was torn from its mooring and crashed on the rocks. Thanks to the flotation I was able to salvage the boat and the new motor I just placed on it.

Four days and nights to go 250 miles from La Paz to San Carlos in 1973 in a 23 foot boat and then another 80 miles from Guaymas to Muelge in one 24 hour day sailing through the night.
