How about retro-fitting a couple of fold-out ama's to make it into an on-demand trimaran? That might really speed things up.

Hmmmm, wait - Scotch is lighter than water - just lash the whiskey barrels to outrigger poles off each side and you have a trimaran without even adding any more weight!

I am thoroughly confused by that picture.

The companionway hatch looks like an X boat - yet there are two raccoon stripes on the side like an M boat

I think i see a full size stand up head faintly looking through the companionway, which I thought only came on the X boat, but the wheel house is a 'toothbrush' helm like an M

Okay, I am totally confused - I have never seen a MAC like that one.

Gee wiz, that's right - I'm flustered, I mean did they make a MAC M boat with a stand up head?? That's the question I was trying to get out but my brain made scramble.

I am going to admit confusion - what is meant by a stand-up head? It seems to me, that unless you need to crawl on all fours to get into the head, you can stand up - and make a nasty mess. I have told my sons that everyone sits!
