But why are you wasting your time in this discussion, if what I'm saying
is that insignificant and doesn't have an element of truth?

Jim

I'm not afraid to die.

Jim

afraid to? looks like you are deliberately trying to.

Johnathan, if I'm that dense and that brain dead, why do you continue to
spend your time following this discussion?

Jim

because you are a dishonest flack for the company. keep it up jimmy boy and
every last person who even considered buyin one of those things for flat, calm
water will puke hearing the word "Mac" even the context of hamburgers.

Yes it is. If the outer (lowermost) hull is penetrated, water is still
retained wihin the water ballast cavity located above the lower hull for
most of the length of the boat and is prevented from entering the cabin.

Also, if both hulls are penetrated, the boat remains afloat due to the
built-in foam floatation.

It is double hulled, but the space in between the layers is water ballast, which
gives you a head start on filling up the rest of the boat with water.

Of course, if only the lower hull is penetrated, water doesn't get into
the cabin at all. Also, as mentioned above, the built-in flotation will
keep the boat afloat even if water enters the cabin.

and the space in-between your ears is a vacuum if you think the Mac is
double hulled.

In other words, you lost that one, so you now have no response other
than to resort to your usual personal, ad hominem attacks? Isn't that
about the size of it Scott? (Scotty, for a change, why don't you just
admit that I was right? Some little attempt at honesty and balance
isn't all that difficult, after all, and it might even make you feel
better.)

Jim, you keep asking this question in one form or another, so it
appears you don't really see the answer. As I'm a kind and
generous soul, much more so than the rest of these
bottom-dwellers here, here's a bit of help for you.

This newsgroup has been notable for years in its exercise of
virtual cruelty, especially on the innocent, to the point where
even the FAQs are full of dire warnings. The cruellest of the
virtual cruelties is, of course, the goading of the
uncomprehending. When such goading has been done expertly, these
sadists can sit back, and apply only the lightest of touches,
while the suffering goad themselves into increasing frenzy, in an
almost self-perpetuating cycle, providing hours of entertainment
for the watchers, for minimal effort on their part. Do you now
see why most of the regulars in this group are here "wasting
their time in this discussion?"

Scott, in case you hadn't realized it, there's no law requiring you to
continue following this discussion. If I'm really that stupid, and if my
remarks are really that vacuous, why in hell do you continue to waste
your time in this discussion string? There are lots of others that you
might be interested in. (Actually, of course, you are obviously
stressed out over your inability to put me down, even with the help of
your buddies. It's just not supposed to happen like this, is it?
Everyone knows that any half-way knowledgable sailor should be able to
put down a Mac-lover with just a few sarcastic remarks. - But I'm still
here and still cheerfully stating my position. In fact, I'm actually
more confident in my position than I was when I came on the ng, since
it's increasingly obvious that you and your buddies have almost nothing
to say of substance. It's obvious that you have given up on citing any
objective issues, and you are increasingly resorting to personal, ad
hominem attacks. You obviously aren't making any progress at all, and
it's obviously getting to you.)

The 'ol bobspit ploy, start a stupid troll, keep fueling it with dumber

Yup, you're a winner Jim, you and bob****, a couple of winners.
