Whatever floats your boat, Scotty. I prefer to sail a MacGregor, and
get out on the water more frequently, AND ALSO sail some of the larger
boats when I want to, by chartering. When I'm through chartering the
larger boat, I leave it, and let the owner take care of the dock fees,
insurance, financing, bottom treatments, engine repairs, rigging
repairs, electronics, sail replacements, etc.

Ever hear about "BOTH AND" instead of "EITHER OR," Scotty?

seldom sail at all. I would rather be able to say:

"I went sailing yesterday and really enjoyed it, and did lots of
interesting things...."

Instead of:

"Well I didn't have time to go sailing this weekend, but I COULD
HAVE, and if I did have the time, I COULD HAVE sailed faster and
pointed higher than you."


Whether it is more important to point higher or sail more often and more
conveniently and with greater variety is, of course, a personal
judgment. But there can be no question that the Mac has significant
advantages over most displacement boats, for most users. Clearly,
obviously, certainly, and without question, except to those whose minds
are closed.
