Funny, I was thinking the same thing, sort of.
Not quite so, to the point, but along those lines.
From your experience Leon, what would you recommend?
John has a nice Spin on a furler.
Black and white I think?
Hey John, get a video flying that will ya!

"The one in your dreams you wished you owned". Your darn right, the boat looks fantastic. That's the first Mac I've seen with a bowspit, does it improve the sailing performance and behaviour of the boat? Thanks for the video, could we have more shots of the boat please. Don't own a Mac yet but your boat certainly fuels the desire to get one sooner.
