I thought of putting a pool on the stern of my Mac,but could't fit the bar stools in.

"Its aft deck houses a 42-foot custom sportfisher, a 29-foot SeaVee used for fishing and diving, a 31-foot Novurania Equator, two 18-foot Hewes flats fishing boats, four wave runners, two sea kayaks, wakeboards, surfboards and ancillary equipment allowing for all types of recreation. Extensive fishing and diving equipment with 200 rods and reels, a dive instructor and 24 sets of snorkel gear are also onboard."

I think that they should have a Mac in place of the Novurania. I mean, what's a ship like this doing without a sailboat?

Hey Jetta01, it was great sailing with you yesterday! Your sea-wise dogs gave you an unfair advantage over my teen-age girl crew. Trade?

Hey Mark, thanks for the offer, but I will stick with the dogs for now It was good meeting you too. It is alway fun to go out with several Macs...safety in numbers...plus it is great to see what everyone has done to their boats.

If my fully loaded M26X can go 15 knots with a 50 hp Merc, then a boat ten times the length with 75 times the horsepower should be able to go ten times as fast... 150 knots, right? I think someone got cheated.... not to mention it doesn't sail....

...Im wondering if one can beach it for shoreline camping, if so, its an okay "boat"...

I don't want to spoil the party, but Aussie Rules, I believe, now has a new name and new owner.

Some frustrated Mac owner, somewhere in the US bought her a year or two ago. Don't the sale figure, but I know Greg Norman paid something like $70M Aussie dollars to build it - and the ship builder actually lost money.

Nice boat, but no sails.
