BTW, from the Macgregor site, we also have:
"IF THE CABIN OF THE BOAT IS ENTIRELY FILLED WITH WATER, AND THE BOAT
IS DEPENDENT ON THE FOAM FLOTATION TO KEEP IT AFLOAT, IT WILL BE VERY
UNSTABLE, AND MAY TURN UPSIDE DOWN."
Where in the world did you get that verbage, Keith? Apparently you are
deliberately misquoting the Mac site.- The actual statements regarding
the floatation system a
"The boat has built-in solid foam flotation to keep it afloat in the
event of damage. It won’t sail well when fully flooded, and it will be
unstable, but it beats swimming. Most competing boats do not offer this
essential safety protection, and their heavy keels can pull them
straight to the bottom. Don't get a boat without solid flotation!"
-Nothing about the boat becoming "very unstable" or that it "may turn
upside down." - Keith, don't try that BS with me again.
BWAHAHAHAHAAA! What a Jackass you are Jim. The comment appears twice
on the very same page, once for the 26M and again for the 26X. Its
exactly what I, and others, have been claiming.
It's quite evident from this statement that when flooded, in heavy
seas, the Mac can be expected to turn turtle, or roll.
Nope. That's your statement, not MacGregor's.
Nope, its MacGregor's!
