Scott, you obviously don't get it. The point in this particular exchange
isn't whether the boat is suitable for blue water sailing, it's whether
the note purportedly posted by Roger MacGregor was a farce. (Which it
obviously was.) My response pointed out that MacGregor reps and
MacGregor dealers are promoting the boat as a coastal cruiser capable of
going off-shore, and that nothing in their literature warns that the
boat shouldn't be taken out beyond a three mile limit. So, had the note
actually been posted by Roger, it would have been an admission that he
had some serious legal problems. (Incidentally, whoever posted the note
assuming Roger's identity on a public forum may indeed have some legal
issues.)

You're rather slow, aren't you Scotty? I suggest that you take the time
to read the notes more carefully and give it a little thought before you
barge in and waste everyone's time with off-topic remarks like those.

check the headers and then do a Google. Roger has posted here before.

And you really believe that Roger is posting these notes? Notes stating
that: real sailors know what a "CRAPPY, SHODDY PRODUCT WE PEDDLE."
That his customers have "NO CLUE WHATSOEVER ... AS TO HOW BAD OUR BOAT
REALLY IS." And telling everyone on the www that he paid a bribe to
Practical Sailor, and paid off the DEP and OSHA?

Scott, I happen to have a bridge for sale that you might be interested
in buying.
