A guy in the same boatyard as me converted his 26x to a Mac trimaran. Seen it sail too. Moves along pretty good! (even without the 50 hp running). Everything seems to be homebuilt, from the 30 something foot rotating wingmast to the amas.

Right. It's not a 26X -- MarkW -- 2/11/02 6:53p.m.

Slowed the boat down? -- MarkW -- 2/12/02 10:49a.m.

Umm...pretty sure that's a Mac 26, not 26X -- Brian S, Annapolis -- 2/12/02 8:15a.m.
