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!

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!!!

At least you have stopped calling them "pretty" young ladies! I got my
first pair of spectacles recently, too!

You don't think that I was exagerating, do you?

BTW, I notice that you have waited until Jax returned before bringing this
up again. I know that you are not a yellow-bellied, chicken-****, coward!
However, I am surprised that you never had the confidence to raise this
subject on your own.

Sometimes, Bob, you can provide great inspiration. On other occasions you
fail to reach our expectations. It is worth noting that many of us do not
have great expectations.

Nope. I see it as cowardice on your part. Both Ozzy and Mooron have no such
weaknesses, nor does Neal.
It's what seperates us REAL men from you, Scotty, Jeff and Katy.
Thems the facts, bub!

Better not bring that up to little Scotty. He's the guy who wanted to give me a
"knuckle sandwich" at a bridge pulloff that didn't exist. Of course anyone even
changing a tire near a bridge will be in trouble due to high security, which is
probably what he had in mind.
Then I offered him to meet at my yard ANYTIME and he still never showed.
This summer I'll invite him again. I'll be there at LEAST 3-4 days a week and
quite a few nights.
All he has to do is e-mail me direct for a contact # and we'll be set.

So we can assume that Donal has not read the book, the oirginal notes or any of
the adapted screenplays, especially one as highly regarded as this.
Lean's efforts make Great Expectations the best Dickens work available on film.
It's far superior to Lawrence of Arabia or Passage to India.
Donal anxiously awaits Alien vs. Predator due this summer!

Please, puleeasse, do not refer to "highly regarded" screenplay version of
great works of fiction. Such references only succeed in demonstrating the
depths of shallowness to which NY cultural appreciation has sunk.

Does that include Wuthering Heights and Treasure of Sierra Madre? I'm certain
you never read B. Traven either. Did you know that the reclusive writer took
part in that amazing bit of screenwriting? The incredible Of Mice and Men is a
near perfect work, in all aspects because it's really not adapted at all....
You don't seem to mind displaying your ignorance for all to see!
How about Willy Wonka or A Clockwork Orange? Yeah, all shallow efforts!
Donal...you've managed to swallow the entire shoe store this time. Still worse,
you never read Great Expectations or you'd have a refined apreciation for what
was accomplished in the David Lean film.
Let us know how Daredevil 2 is!!!

And I may as well add....BWAAHAHAAHA!
