There is none....I have relatively little of it and what there is gets taken
care of every 8 weeks or so...so what do you think when you look in the
mirror and you can't see yourself for the shine from your pate?

Katy,

You seem fixated on color.
I wonder, when you look in the mirror, what you think about
all that gray hair?

Subtract 1 point...his boat is day glo orange....

Macks011. I daysail and cruise a Freedom 36 out of the NYC area. My
cruising range is from the Chesepeke to Nantuket. I have posted a few
times on this board, sailed with Bobsprit on his boat and mine, and
tangled with Jax on this board and others. My other boat is a 10'
portabote. I think I may have been putzed by Neal and earned a few
points in your rule discussions.

Annual LURKER Check-In !!!

For those of you lurking out there. This is the
annual Lurker Check-in.

Lurkers are those that read posts but do not post
responses or start threads.

You don't have to post anything intelligent, just
your handle and location, include boat name,
type and model, if you have one.

This is your big chance to get easy points.

If you don't check in, nothing bad will happen to you,
you will just remain POINTLESS!

1 point award per fact you provide.

Those of you that have posted and do not have any
points at all, or you are not sure if you have any points,
you can check in now for free alt.sailing.asa newgroups
points.

Allow me to assign points of the basis of your information . . .

Sailed with Bobsprit or even knowing Bobsprit = minus 100pts

on his boat and mine, = minus 50pts for time spent on Bobsprits garbage skow.

tangled with Jax on this board and others. = plus 10pts


My other boat is a 10' portabote. ---- Junk! Minus 20pts

Plus 10pts if you agreed with me, minus 10pts if you agreed with Jeff.

Well, today we go out and put the Mac in the water by ourselves. We
intend to
stay on the lake Sat night and Sun night, or we may come home Sun
evening.
We
are provisioned for two nights.


The boat is very large. It intimidates us. We were dighny (sp?)
sailors
before
this. This thing is like sailing an RV. The 150% genoa is more
sail than
our
main and jib together on the Apollo. Trailering is no problem. I've
driven it
through Denver rush hour twice now. I won't have to do that again,
and I
won't
do that again. Nonetheless, I can trailor this boat now.


I know that, in actuallity, it is safer than the Apollo. At least
on the
resevoir the most it will do is get knocked down, but it will come
back
up.
Even when it gets knocked down, the cockpit is still above the
water.
Nonetheless, it has a 28 foot mast and the whole boat is simply huge
in
our
eyes.


One thing I can say about the mac: When you have the owners manual,
the
brochure is a joke. It's not quick to rig, it's not light to tow.
Quite
simply, it is a lot of boat. However, if you have at least a 300 cu
in
engine, and a the mast raising system, you're good to go. If you
buy a
Mac,
get the mast raising system, by all means.


By the way, someone once told me to never get the cockpit cushions
Macgregor
sells. We did, and they are great. It's hard to trust what people
say, I
swear
to god.


Anyway, If I return, I will report. Until then, this is Ed

P.S. Before you laugh, really think about what Gilligan had.
