That way there's no compromise of watertight integrity below the deck liner.
A Mac 26S with two Oceanis 38s as outriggers is what my computer spits out. I know where I can get one 38 cheap, late at night, now I have to find another.

. . . . Tri-MacGregor? . . . .MacGregormoran? . . . Macmoran . . . no that does not work,
Yeah, it won't work, based on my best scientific analysis as shown above it will still be slower than the standard MAC D. I think the experiment will be a failure.

Mmm I think I,ll stick with my lowly poor clipper rigged
so cheap to keep & so cheap to maintain & so much boat for the $$$ , makes it a super duper deal that deliver,s soooo much satisfaction , just get ur sh~t & head together & make it happen
, Yeah I coulda spent my money buying a bigger boat with 10 times the maint. cost,s . but i,m a simple guy with a extravagant lifestyle when it comes to my boat & learned how to make it happen , with lots of patience !
Sumner is a Prime example with his latest cruise

Meh. Too heavy and deep-keeled for purpose. But there's another one here in San Diego somewhere...
