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


Because he's a sadist with a bent to necrophilia. Tell us more
about a Macgregor 100 miles offshore. The local ones don't seem
to handle a five-foot chop very well.

I don't think it's a question of "if" you're stupid.

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

**** remarks, then claim to 'WIN' because ''his thread'' has the most
posts.
Yup, you're a winner Jim, you and bob****, a couple of winners.

Its funny, the drawing on the web site don't show this to be "double hulled".
The water ballast is on the center line, not around the chine - it would be easy
to penetrate the hull with a glancing blow to a rock.

BTW, what would happen to the daggerboard if it touched bottom?

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.

Jeeze Taddy! Why do you have to spoil our fun, you bucking for

Would agree. It's definitely not double hulled, and from the drawings
I'd say it's not completely double bottomed.

But why are you wasting your time in this discussion, if what I'm saying

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?"

Tadpole, I don't think this guy is an innocent. Either he's a troll or he's
pimping for mac, no one could possibly be this gullible or stupid. He quotes
mac sales literature like it came from a burning bush. It was slightly
entertaining for a while but I notice when his statements get taken apart
like an overdone piece of chicken, he doesn't respond. I would guess he's a
pimp.

YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!!!! This is what we do here to people like you. And

complain to Mr. Fortin. He's a very understanding person and will make sure
that we're all punished for making his newsgroup such a nasty place for you.
