For those of you who dream of making that trip, check out this web site. If this Merit can do it, I'm sure a properly prepared 26X could.

Ken, really cool.
What a rough trip, not comfortable at all. I think we have determined a Mac could make it....but I wouldn't want to do it:
My Choice to Hawaii: A. Fly B. 46ft Beneteau C. MacGregor 65 PH Those are choices of a nice trip.

Merit 25
The several Merit 25s I have seen look similiar to the X with a white hull and black stripe. However that is where the similarity ends. Fast racers under sail, not much headroom in the cabin and no power planning capabilities.

Re: murrelet
Not till somebody actualy does it in a Mac. I find it amazing that this guy was OK with a return trip on top of the race.Bill Smith wrote:Does this mean that Murrelet was right all along?
