Ridiculing "Bobsprit" does not count as ridiculing "contributors."
You've been around long enough to know the difference.


Well, those aren't very good examples. This is USENET, ridicule is
standard procedure.

Jim's problem is that he demands respect for his ignorance and insists
that we all envy his "boat." Then he posts stories about his "sailing
experience" of which motoring is the highlight; the funny thing is that
he doesn't know much about his own boat and thinks that comparing it to
a Valiant 40 makes it better.

Hey Jim, you figure out how that "rotating mast" works yet?

Jeff, have you never seen a cat or trimaran with a rotating mast? How
ignorant can you be, actually.

Jim

Oh, now I see. It's bash the Scotty time...

What particular MacGregor boat did you have? I'm thinking

Oh Yeah Jimbo.... 'sailboat'.... Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!

so we didn't get a lot of great sailing

the capabilities of the boat to power back at planing speeds

We were easily making 14 knots with normal load

the boat does attain planing speeds,

and its speed under power does indeed provide

Bwahahahahahahahaaaaa.... you own a floating piece of ****!

fast will YOUR BOAT get you back to the dock if the winds are down?
7 knots? 6 Knots? 5 knots?

Well Jimbo.... It won't look like your dorkmobile with a ridiculous stick
leaned back at a 45 degree angle as you push water trying to get holeshot
from a 50 hp outboard bolted to the flimsiest, ugly, oil canning piece of
**** maragarine container to ever float.

You know both power boaters and sailors laugh at you.....

Typical isn't it?

The Mac26 isn't even a powerboat..... it's floating garbage. The ****boxes
can't even get on step with a 100 hp outboard.

You seem to keep confusing Doug and I; do you have a problem keeping
facts straight?

BTW, I've been on a number of boats with rotating masts. Its really
nothing new. Many small boats and most beach cats have rotating rigs.
You just don't see them often on cruising boats, because they aren't
very strong compared to a traditional rig. And while you can make a
case that it produces a more efficient rig, you can also create more
efficient rigs with full length battens and a large roach without
sacrificing strength.

Do some Googleing.

fortunately, the winds have been erratic and variable in Galveston
Bay
during the past two weeks, so we used that as an excuse to POWER
around all day.

lemme see if I can explain this to you, Jimmy. A real sailor would
rather ......ahhh never mind, you'll never understand.
