Just for giggles I took a look at your statistical article. I would rather have an algebra or calculus problem any day (but please don't give me one of those either; I am retired :P ) than delve into the the murky water of advanced statistics. I studied research statistics and even used it in some of of my research projects, but I never became really comfortable with it. I guess if we go back into a pandemic shutdown and get extremely board... :|....no, I'll just watch YouTube sailing videos! :)

This is very interesting to me, because I've just paid for my :macx: :D

Thing is, the boat is listed as "1987" - and I came here today to ask if that's a problem, will the fiberglass still be strong etc?

And is the year listed wrong, or do I (potentially) have the oldest :macx: ever?

?

The first :macx: was built in 1995. If you have a 1987 model it is not an X. Post your hull number (all of it) and we can tell you what you have.
