Gotta disagree with you there Scotty, you did not ridicule any boats; a
26XM is
not a boat.

Oh it's a boat alright...... just NOT a Sailboat!

Scotty doesn't attack. He may set people up and let them paint
themselves into a corner, but I can't remember him attacking

I bet there are a lot more Mac26's sailing right now than Overproofs.

Read the name of the newsgroup. Yeah, I know, most threads have nothing
to do with sailing, but most of the threads don't have to do with
motorboating either. Notice that "motorboating" isn't in the name of the
newsgroup? Maybe your motorboat does have a mast and a sail on it, but
your posts seem to have more to do with motorboating than sailing. Did
you ever notice that Boobspit gets criticised for his motorboating posts?
Would you want to be treated any differently than the way Blob**** is
treated?

Jim has been taking reading comprehension courses from Jaxass

Ridicling other contributors, trashing their boats: Here
are just a few examples.

I guess if you never sail more than a mile from your

Have you noticed how the ''Slip Queen'' never mentions

No there are most certainly NOT...... you can't remotely describe what a
Mac26 does as "sailing"....

Overproof is parked at the Bar.

Maybe because all you said about the "sailing" was how nice it was that
you could power back in before dark. I'm sure almost all of us have
powered back, but we usually don't consider that the highlite of the
sailing day. In fact, If I were not such an unsuspecting soul, I might
think you were ridiculing us for having such underpowered sailboats.

However, I'm curious Jim, how fast do you go when you power in? Planing
speed for you could be anything over 7 knots. Also, do you leave it in
the water, or trailer it? Do you keep the ballast tank filled all the
time? Have you taken it out into the ocean?

Unfortunately, the winds have been erratic and variable in Galveston Bay
during the past two weeks, so we didn't get a lot of great sailing
weather. In answer to your note, the point I was making was that the
capabilities of the boat to power back at planing speeds enabled us to
get back to shore quickly and in time to get the boat out of the water
and safely put to bed in its slot before dark. We were easily making 14
knots with normal load and with the water ballast filled, (I haven't
really had time to adjust the trim and check the boat for maximum speed
yet.) which got us back to the marina much faster than any other sailing
vessel on the Bay. In other words, the boat does attain planing speeds,
and it does pass almost any other sailboat on the bay, and its speed
under power does indeed provide significant advantages in our
particular sailing environment. (In a conventional keel boat with diesel
engine, it takes almost an hour to get the boat out to the sailing area,
and another hour getting it back to the dock.)

Katy, there's not much I can do about the weather, is there now? But you
know Katy, we can't always get what we want. - Right? Incidentally, how
fast will YOUR BOAT get you back to the dock if the winds are down?
7 knots? 6 Knots? 5 knots?

Jim

Scott,

What particular MacGregor boat did you have? I'm thinking that you must
have had an old, out-of-date model that didn't include the new
improvements.
