Did my eyes decieve me or did I see a Mac26x 
on the Air Canada commercial, the one with celine dion singing the background to promote tourism. It had a nice cockpit enclosure and two people diving off into the water. Does this prove that the X is better than the M?
l'm sorry to hear you poor M 'ers have been banging up your daggerboards. I always remember to pull up my centerboard but it is nice to know that just in case it would swivel-in like a pocketknife. Have you M 'ers figured out what to do for going to the bathroom? 
I read about someone trying to go to Catalina and didn't have a place to stay and problems with Alamitos marina. Email me at ben@welchland.com
My house is on a corner lot in Westminster only 3 miles from the Huntington Harbor and you can park on the side overnight (as long as you show me your mods). It takes less than fifteen minutes for me to get to Sunset Aquatic Marina. M or X doesn't matter, we're all brothers in this whole Mac phenomena! You can also check out my Clipper Marine 26 that is also parked in my backyard. It is a premac! I'm raising my own fleet of boats! I got a pedal boat, a go go speed racer kind of boat and kayaks plus the half dozen Costco inflatables. You can hose your boat and prep at my house. I wouldn't mind being a hub for Catalina Launches just tell me the date and time. Maybe I can go with my Mac during summer months, being a school teacher has it's perks!
The interiors of the 
and the 
for not calling when he was here. I know of at least two other people in HB with Macs. Anyone comming out to the Long Beach or OC area should PM us. I live in a cul de sac and have plenty of parking.
