Re: How many people can you safely take in a X

I agree with 6 although I have had 4 adults and 4 children on occaisions... those being good weather, calm seas and not venturing far from port.... more of a fun cruise than "party"

Re: 26M w/ 90 HP

Get a bigger mast and a new suite of sails.... go faster and still not use fuel?
