Default The "Practical" sailor?

Come on Jim... every time you type something, you're supplying us with
facts. That's simple logic and even the owner of a wonderful MacrapM would
know that. Are you sure you own one?

Fortunately, I'm allowed to waste my time any way I want. Isn't America
great!

You're right, though. The only way to back up my assertions that they are
pieces of garbage, designed for novice sailors who don't know better, would
be to own one myself. Well, I guess you've got me there!

Please show me where I've ever said that they fall apart by the hundreds or
their crew perish in winds over 15 kts. The fact that they're cheaply built
and sail poorly (sorry, just what I've observed) says absolutely nothing
about them being appropriate for some people.

JG, if the Macs are that bad, and everyone knows it, why are you wasting
all this time and cyberspace? But as to my supplying all the facts you
need, which facts in particular are you referring to? Actually, you have
been having a great old time bashing the Mac26M, but so far, you haven't
come up with anything at all to back up all your assertions. Are they
falling apart by the hundreds all over the world JG? Are the owners and
crew perishing if they happen to sail in winds over 15 knots? If so, why
not give us some news reports or independent accounts about all this
carnage.
You also haven't told us where you are getting all your purported
information about the Mac 26M, or whether or not you ever even sailed one
of the 26M's. - Have you? No? Then, of course, you really don't have
much first-hand information about them, do you JG?
