[Rhodes22-list] Mac 26x or 26M vs. Rhodes 22

[Richard Smith]

None of the boats you mention are suitable for the type of sailing you
envision.

I doubt that ANY trailerable boat would meet your requirements!!!

> Hello,

the great lakes, but would like to do offshore one of these days i.e sail to
around Newfoundland or Caribbean.

friendly then the new 26M but I like the 26M. Then spoke to someone who
hated the the macs and recommended the Odin 820. now i am really confused.
In my confusion as also started looking at Morris Yachts.
