For Jim and his Mac, quite a bit! :-)

On a light, responsive boat like the Mac 26M, we don't have to wait until
we get 25+ knot winds to have an enjoyable cruise, JG. It's sort of
analogous to the difference between driving a lightweight sports car like
a Porsche or Ferrari, (equivalent to my boat) or a heavy vehicle such as
a Suburban or Town Car (equivalent to heavy conventional boats that take
1/4 mile to get up to speed). - Of course, it's largely a matter of
personal tastes. Like, some people enjoy driving Ferraris and Porsches,
whereas others prefer driving a Suburban.

You sure do spend a lot of energy trying to defend your boat.


And you sure do spend a lot of time tearing it down. - Why is this, JG? -
Nothing better to do?

Jim



Actually, I don't and haven't. How many posts have I initiated slamming your
boat in the last month?

Nothing better to do? Yes. Sail, not motor.
