In Response To: Mac 26 - Sailing Performance? (Scott)

Scott,
Look here for a Portsmouth Yardstick (% speed) comparison. Supposedly a D is 7% faster than an X, for example. I would guess there are some point of sail where the differences are double or more (upwind) and some where there may be little difference (downwind for example).
