MacGregor 26M - Valiant 40
heey, katies. way to go. dead bang on center.
Jim...MacGregor's have a poor reputation. They have made some very bad boats. Most of us here have experience sailing many different brands of boats and have been around sailors and sailboats for years and years. Your analogy about intellectual honesty is bunkum. Fact of the matter is, if a product gets negative brand recognition because of lack of quality, it will take 75% more effort to convince the knowledgeable that that company might then, out of the blue, produce a good product. If you were in the market for a subcompact car, and you read the history of the Yugo, spoke with people who had purchased Yugo's, and seen the statistics about their rate of repair and other problems, would you then include Yugo in the cars you are planning to test drive? I think not. Time is money, and wating time is wasting money. Yes, there are flukes...once in a while a company with a bad reputation comes up with a single good item...Hunter comes to mind here...but for the most part, Hunter's are crap, and that is based on comparison of facts. macGregor's , for the most part, are crap. Now quit wasting everyone's time with your specious arguments and go learn how to sail. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
