Scott, in case you hadn't realized it, there's no law requiring you to
continue following this discussion.

As I told you before, as the NG moderator, I am required to read every post.

I'm really that stupid, and my
remarks are really that vacuous, why in hell do you continue to waste
your time in this discussion string?

Cause reading your dribble makes me feel oh so superior.



(Actually, of course, you are obviously
stressed out over your inability to put me down,




it's increasingly obvious that you and your buddies have almost nothing
to say of substance.


they're not my buddies, they're my gang.


It's obvious that you have given up on citing any
objective issues,


the Mac is a cheap piece of crap that doesn't sail worth a damn. How's
that?

are you under the impression that a mac26 is double hulled?

Yes it is.

NO, it's NOT

cause you're wrong. The mac is NOT double hulled.

He's claimed (twice in the same post) that he thinks it's okay to go take
his beginner's boat out in hurricanes - that's just about sufficiently far
from realistic for it to be Boobsie, so I've made my move. (I wonder how
many ASA points Joe will give me...)



****, anyone brave enough to be on a mac even at the dock durin a
hurricane deserves at least 3 asa points. All that windage from the
high freeboard and vortexes created from wind rounding the square
corners will make mini tornados that will pull his shackles and
thimbles lose from the dock. Jim's a brave man and since he scored a
98 on his ASA test he is surley qualified to venture into the
navigable simi circle of any hurricane.

Sold any paintings yet Wally? What would you charge to paint my boat?
Id like a stary night theme after Van G in red and yellow.

You're too quick to award points - he doesn't even have the boat yet! If talk
counted, jax and RB would be the world's greatest sailors.

The truth is, the first time he goes out in rough conditions (i.e. over 10
knots), his grandchildren will get seasick and refuse to go on the boat again.
Jim will discover that the worst aspect of the boat is that it won't sink.

Oh.

Actually, I knew what you meant too, Katy.
It was just too tempting to act like an asshole.

Marty chided:
Good Christian sentiment there Katy! ;-)

I didn't tell him to run out and get killed...he seems to be doing very well
at doing himself in all by himself....

Comparing a Mac26M with the remarkable Valiant 40 ...
is a high compliment to the Mac26M.

THe Valiant 40 is a high-end sailor's dream yacht..
always a beautiful sight to see on the sea.. and
in the harbour.

The Mac26M is a compromise.. between a sailing vessel
and a motorboat.. the nautical engineers working to
meet the wishes and needs of the marketplace.. and in
my view succeeding beyond expectations.. creating a
very attractive yacht.. not perfect.. but getting there
with the state-of-the-art technology of the day.

And some day.. when I can no longer singlehand my
C&C27 Mark III ... I will invest in a Mac26M..
and continue sailing into the sunset...
and dream..

Best Regards
JWB

Right..it's a hermaphrodite..neither male nor female, beast nor fowl. It's
for people who can't decide whether to S*it or get off the pot.
If you're going to be a sailor, for goodness sake, sail. If you want to be
a motorboater, then go buy a motorboat. And if I ever get that decrepit
that I have to make a choice, it will be a trawler, thank you, and not a
pile of junk.
