It's a good boat if you want to go out and have people pointing at
you behind your back and laughing and thinking to themselves, "What an
idiot!" And, "He coulda spent that money on a good used sailboat and had
something to be proud of." And, "I guess he doesn't care about safety."
"I guess he has no idea how silly he looks to everybody." Did you ever
look
real good at a knee boarder. He's looking like some kinda retarded
cripple bouncing up and down at the end of a string. That's what Mac26s
look like to me.....
JimC, maybe a person who doesn't care what other people think. But, I
doubt it. If you were you wouldn't spend so much time here trying to
convince people that Mac26s are
anything but the *retarded cripple* of sailboats.

Actually, it takes at least two people to keep a discussion going, Ellen.
If you don't like my comments, you don't have to answer them. In fact, you
don't even have to read them. If you weren't so obviously frustrated
because you keep getting your ass kicked all over the ng, you would have
lost interest in Mac discussions long ago.
