No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. -

Actually, as long as its not confused with a proper seaworthy sailboat, or a
proper seaworthy powerboat, its not too bad.

There are no "experts" here, but you'll find that most sailors who have a vague
eye for lines, construction, seaworthiness and so on, won't have many kind
things to say about the Macs.
Buy a sailboat. Buy a powerboat. Don't mush them together.

Sails better than a powerboat, powers better than a sailboat. Robert Perry
did a review on the new model several months back, you may want to look at
it. Of course, he didn't actually sail the thing, but if you have to go for
a test drive it shouldn't be too difficult.

If you have owned a boat before, then you probably know what you want.

If you are about to buy your first proper boat, then you should choose
either a good power boat, or a good sailing boat.


I used to be a power boater, and now I have a sailing vessel.


The big difference between the two is that Sailing involves the whole
crew/family. Power boating is a pastime that provides pleasure for the
driver ( the rest of the crew will want to reach their destination as
quickly as possible).

I'd guess that even sailing Donal's guests want to reach their destination as
quickly as possible!

So that's why he bought a fast sailboat.

Your guests don't have that problem,...... do they?

If you never untie the docklines, then you don't have to worry about the
length of the trip!!!

Pretty sad post when I've posted so many pics of young happy ladies aboard
Alien...and you've posted nothing but a few far-away shots with claims of high
winds in flat water!

Bwahahahahaha!
