Re: check this!
Whoa! Looks competitive as all-get-out, with that retractable bulb keel and wedge plan-form. It would likely sail rings around my 26X.
On the unfortunate side, the drawings leave me to think it's got 26 Classic headroom - not so well suited to my purposes.
Ah, well. My next boat (if there is one) is going to be far too big, beamy, and heavy to put on a trailer anyways ...

I wouldn't load in Firefox. Actually it loaded a click at a time. Much happier in Chrome.
Pretty boat. A totally different boater than Mac owners.

Gorgeous boat and design.
Whoever rigged the boat for the photos should be shot. Why on earth would anyone take promo pics with a headsail that hasn't been raised completely. Even worse, why would they use them on their website.
The other thing I question is why they chose that particular location. That is some ugly looking water. Doesn't matter where they are...it is baaad.
Just a marketing major knit picking I guess.
It is a sweet ride and the boat will fly. You get a 25' sailboat with a real torpedo keel and it weighs in at about 3,000 pounds.
Russ...why do you think this is not a boat for Mac owners?
No mention of price but I bet it is pretty reasonable. Although fiberglass product pricing is pretty much the same wherever you build, South American labor is a bargain.
This boat has one of the nicest bow and transoms I have seen in some time.
Would be great to see it up close and personal.

Re: check this!
Well, Mac X/M owners. I've always thought of them as compromise boaters wanting a boat fast under power with a lot of room below. This baby looks fast fast fast under sail, but doesn't seem to fit the niche that X/M owners buy into.AWKIII wrote:Russ...why do you think this is not a boat for Mac owners?
Now if I were looking for a nice 25' sailboat, this might fit the bill. Or a J boat for that matter. Those boats are so nice to sail but not to stand up in.
