The Mac permits you to spend less time getting to a

you don't understand 'sailing'.


For example, you can trailer the boat
down to Florida


but that would take a lot of time!


In our area, the boat could be trailered to the Gulf coast in less than
an hour, or to various ports up and down the coast in two or three
hours. It means the difference between being essentially locked into
one sailing area for most of the year (It can get pretty monotonous) and
being able to go whereever we want to go, in one weekend. Despite your
pontification and sarcasm, the boat does substantially minimize the
"lack of time" factor.

I may do that. Taking my Mac 26M with me.

Really? I've probably been sailing longer than you have.

I understand it. I also understand that you are less interested in
sailing than you are in joining the Mac attack and getting "attaboys"
from your sleezy buddies.



I love

Yes! Be sure to park in the front lot of the local Seafood restaurant and
talk loud and 'salty' while you're eating.

PS throw in a few ''Arggggggs'' now and then.

Sailing doesn't include the Mac, MacBoy.

I still don't understand why you didn't buy a motorboat and optionally
also a dinghy. IMO 'getting there' is an huge part of the fun...

When you're in a power boat (or a mac26mx) you're going somewhere.

When you're in a sailboat, you're alredy there.


Jim is a jackass and doesn't deserve to be a sailor.
