Posts: 1,911 South Florida & the Keys | I will do some camping with her but not on her. Unfortunatly I am hooked into a name that carries on from history. My first boat, H-18, was dubbed "Breakin' Wind" after she was lost to hurricane Andrew. Subsequent boats have been named the same, Breakin' Wind II,H-21; Breakin' Wind III, H-20; and the current Breakin' Wind IV, ARC21. I am not sure if maybe I should break the chain, there may be some Voo-Doo or other forces at work.

Mary (Wells) and I had one and raced it all the time. Its Portsmouth Number was the same as a Hobie 18. Pretty hot boat. OUr strongest competitor was a Condor 40. It was faster upwind and we were faster downwind. That is until I replaced the daggerboard (the earlier models had single board and it worked fine) with a much longer (deeper) Formula 40 board and then we took it in all directions.
We used a 9.9 Yamaha 4stroke and it would motor around 8-9 mph.
Prices can be under 20k, but they are a rare find.
Visit the Forum on bigger multis, or better yet, use this Forums "Search" and simply ask for MacGregor and have it search all Forums. Good luck, Rick | | | Re: Fast boat for camping? Motor Boat, Cat or Tri
