Scott, remember what your 6-th grade teacher would tell you when she
gave you a test?

yes, she'd say, ''try to at least get one right this time''.

"...You've badly grounded your boat. You just left for
a 4 week cruise and now her wing keel has settled atop a group of rocks
at high tide, WHICH YOU THOUOGHT YOU'D BE CLEAR OF. At the top of every
swell, the keel grinds and as the tide slacks (soon!) you know things
could get worse.. . ."

Obviously the guy wouldn't conclude he had anchored the boat
successfully if the boat was grinding against the bottom. Obviously the
water level, or the swing,or the chop, etc., changed after the anchoring
process, resulting in the unexpected grounding.

Anchor? What anchor? Was anchoring mentioned in the question. Jimbo,
remember what your 10th grade teacher would tell you when he gave you a
test? - Remember to READ THE QUESTION first .

Because the Mac 26M is lightweight


in other words CHEAPly made.

If what you mean by "cheaply made" refers to the fact that MacGregor
understands and practices modern scientific design and manufacturing
practices, perhaps so.

Yeah, that is what I meant.

"Lightly made" doesn't mean low quality. - A Ferrari is "lightly made,"
for obvious reasons, but not cheaply made.


A Ferrari is not "lightly made'', perhaps you meant to write, ''A Ferrari is
"made light''.


On second thought, perhaps music by Benny Hill would be more
apropo.
Maybe a few glasses of Bordeaux, or a gin and tonic would make me feel
like

a real sailor?

Jim

So I'm not a "real sailor"?


You said it, not me.


I would bet that I have been sailing longer
than you have.


Could be. time means little. boob**** spends more time on his boat (in the
slip) and talking boats than some here, yet he is no sailor, not even close.
Anyways, I've been sailing for 28 years. You?

Scott, don't forget that the dagger board on the mac isn't fixed, or
tied down. Actually, the only thing holding it down is gravity. What
this means in the context of Question #6 is that if the board hit the
bottom as the boat fell down off a wave or during a falling tide, the
boat would merely slide downwardly on the dagger board, or, the dagger
board would be pushed upwardly relative to the dagger board trunk.

That is true. But, if you 'run into' a rock, as opposed to falling down onto
it, the daggar board may break or break the trunk or both.
