Danny,

Just as I told you, after just a few hours, the Mac-Bashers have been
stirred up and are swarming around in full force. - It's sort of like
the effect one gets by turning on the light on roaches crawling around
in a dark room. - The light tends to drive them insane, as you can
clearly see from the notes already posted in this discussion string!!

I've been sailing Hobie Cats, windsurfers and all sorts of little
sunfishy kind of things for years. I have sailed a few mid 20's
Catalina Sailboats as crew with success. I am planning on buying a
used 25 foot sailboat and need to know recommendations. What I'd like
to have is something with small draft as I'll be sailing a shallow
bay. Swing Keel I guess or maybe a shoal keel gives me the same draft?
Good sleeping space and standing space would be nice as I am 6'4". I
also would liek a compromise between stability and performance. I
understand Catalina's are great because they are virtually
un-capasizable but maybe something that would be a bit more fun and
still pretty damn hard to flip. I'm ready to spend up to $5,000 US.

Whaddya think all?


Get a Mac !

If you buy a Mac, you'll know all about roaches, apparently.

"If there's no wind, row."

Danny Jim Cates claims we are all MAC bashers. Nope we are NOT. My
advice to you is sail lots of boats including the MACS 26M and the
vintage Macs. feel hulls ,walk on decks. Sail the boats when there ie a
breeze above 15 mph. Also when there is little breeze. OOPS thats when
Macs need a stupid 50 hp motor.

Ummm... just be sure you have water in the balast before you walk the decks
on the Mac.
