Neither is he a guy pretending to be a woman like "Ellen" is.

He says he's a lawyer. He probably defends MacGregor against the
hundreds of
lawsuits they get filed against them every year. Things like
endangerment, false advertising,
unsuitability for intended use, polluting the visual environment, etc etc
etc.....
Water ballast is stupid. All it does is put water in the bottom of
the hull. It doesn't
add any weight at all it just lowers the boat down into the water. Then
it sloshes back
and forth and slows the boat down. Dumb!
Take a look at the mast. I've got spaghetti straps on my tops that
are thicker than
Mac26 masts. Take a look at how high-sided and flat the hull is. I bet it
sounds like
a drum inside. I'd be ashamed to be seen in a Mac26. I think JimC is
ashamed too that
he bought such a lame-o boat. I bet he won't make the same mistake twice.
But, since
he works for MacGregor he maybe might.

Good try Ellie, he's a lawyer but not for McGregor. The ships he deals
with are the most complicated ships going. If he's happy sailing his
Mac than more power to him, it's not like he's Capt. Rob sitting at
home playing jacks and looking at pictures of his short sailing season.
