Well, you have a point. I wouldn't consider my Cal 20 a rich sailor's
boat. Do you?


"Ghetto cruiser," is more correct.




Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways.

I suggest a bill of sale. But, you're unwilling, apparently.

Perhaps 'cretin' would be more appropriate - I hear they're dumber than
morons.

That it doesn't have a double hull and that MacBoy is
a cretin.

right. And a Mac 26 M does NOT have a double hull.


Maybe.

Stop acting like an obnoxious little prick. There's no maybe about it,
no
probably, or possibly, or almost. Listen up dickweed, the MAC 26 IS
****N
O T**** DOUBLE HULLED!






And what if it were penetrated where the sink drain through hull
wasn't?


Man the pumps and patch the breech PDQ.

I think you're right. Even Horass doesn't claim his hunter has
a double hull.

In other words, the Mac includes an additional liner in the hull



it's a frickin ballast tank you asshole!


It's a ballast tank that has an upper wall that serves to prevent water
from flowing from the ballast chamber to the interior of the cabin.

right! You're finaly catching on.


In other words, a second hull.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You're dumber than Horvath!!!!!!!!!

The plan is to reef the working jib before going offshore.



you're going to reef a working jib on a Mac26? he he heeeee OK.


If heavy weather is predicted, I'll substitute a storm jib. Otherwise,
however, I'll reef the working jib and main before going offshore. And
if winds build higher, reef it again.




1. What sort of handling do you expect from the 26M in a 40kt wind?

The boat should be fairly stable in 40Kt winds if sufficiently reefed.



and by ''sufficiently reefed'' you mean tied down to the trailer, right?




But ultimately, Jim are the one
who demonstrated how stupid Jim really are.

What about if it's not predicted???

How do you hank a storm jib on when there's a roller furling mech in the
way? Does it have a second forestay for the purpose?


If heavy weather is predicted, a storm jib would be hanked on the
forestay. The roller furling mechanism is removed first.



Depends on the degree of reef in the main and furling of the jib.


Is that roller furling or roller reefing on the jib?


Roller furling.


Nope. You, again, have it bass ass backwards.


Stop talking crap - 70 knots is a hurricane and 100 miles offshore isn't
coastal cruising. The 26M is a beginner's boat and isn't built for such
conditions.


After I sail several times in 70 knots, I'll be able to give you a more
comprehensive description of the boat's sailing characteristics under
such conditions.



Of course, everyone recognized that you thought you were throwing me a
"gotcha." You intended to trip me up. But ultimately, YOU are the one
who demonstrated how stupid you really are.


I freely admit that I am a sweet, innocent, fresh-faced n00b. Unlike
you, I
don't come in here spouting irrational, badly-argued garbage while
making a
bunch of ridiculous claims.

You're a troll, or a moron, or a moronic troll, or a trolling moron.
Pick
one.

Sure think Wally. Have a nice evening. Are you going sailing this
weekend? Or do you just enjoy spending your spare time sneering at
others who do?

Absolutely right. I was being repetitive and boring. I'm sorry.

You're a cretin. Is that better?

To which problem do you refer?

I think dolfphin are wiser than otters.

Aren't you getting somehat repetitive, Johnny? Why waste time posting

It certainly is a "sure think", Jim "The Deafer" Cate. I am very sure in
what I'm thinking regarding your purpose in posting your Mac-loving garbage
(see above).

If you weren't such a sad asshole, posting the endless stream of pro-Mac
crap that you do, you might have time to read one or two other threads.
