No. I'm offended by the people on the boat, when they usually
show obvious signs of not having a clue, and end up sailing (motoring)
too close or trying to come into a slip at 3 kts.

The "personality" one might feel a boat has, is basically a collection
of mechanical interactions.

That said, aren't you somewhat "offended" by the company of a Mac26 on an
otherwise nice day?

I am offended by the people who make the boats, however.
They should know better.

Also note that the claimed speed of 24 MPH is with a 50 HP motor, one
person aboard, no water ballast,

We certainly don't feel the same way about boats. I hardly find them inanimate.

The true question is...would ANY sailor with ANY real sailing under his/her
belt consider a Mac26?
I've met a few and NONE had a clue about power or sail. I believe that's the
Mac target market.

The water ballast was only one element. Are you planning to throw the
rigging, passengers and beer cooler overboard when you want to motor?



If you were the passenger, then yes.



This signature is now the stupidest in the universe

Yeah, that's probably right. A few people buy them who don't know
anything about sailing, then learn how to sail on them, actually become
proficient, then either make do or get something else.
