JG, please show me where I said that you said the Macs fall apart by the
hundreds,or that their crew perish in winds over 15 kts. - What I did
say, of course, was:
"JG, IF the Macs are that bad, and everyone knows it, why are you wasting
all this time and cyberspace? ...... Actually, you have been having a
great old time bashing the Mac26M, but so far, you haven't come up with
anything at all to back up all your assertions. ARE THEY falling apart by
the hundreds all over the world JG? ARE THEIR OWNERS AND CREWS PERISHING
if they happen to sail in winds over 15 knots? If so, why not give us some
news reports or independent accounts about all this carnage. "


I do have a great ole time bashing them!! Admittedly, I only have my own
observations, comments from friends who have made observations, and comments
from a dealer that they are relatively worthless as either a sailboat or a
power boat, that they are flimsy, and should not be sailed in anything but
the most protected waters, certainly inappropriate for sailing in the bay.

So if, as you keep saying, the Macs are "junk" or, "a pretend sailboat,"
or "a lousy boat at rip-off prices," etc., then why aren't they falling
apart by the hundreds, and why aren't their crews perishing in anything
over moderate winds? - As I have said, I don't consider them suitable

boats, often choose another Mac.


Fortunately, I only have to endure your rantings about your fine vessel. Why
would I want to listen to a bunch of other idiots. I meant to say, other
proud owners.

From what you have said, you haven't even sailed any of the recent models
of the Mac26 (e.g., the Mac 26M). Again, you really don't have any
first-hand experience with the 26M's, and the nearest experience you have
with ANY Macs were several anecdotes about Macs that seemed to be having
some type of difficulty in SFbay. (And who on this ng hasn't had
"difficulties" in some sailing conditions?)


Fortunately, no. I have not. I also have not sailed any new Swans, but I
know that by reputation they are pretty well-made.

As to anecdotes, I guess mine are just not good enough for you... sigh....

In other words, it's obvious that you really don't have anything to back
up your statements about the Macs, JG. - Stupid remarks like: "They

don't help anyone; and they generally short-circuit what might become a
balanced, potentially helpful discussion.


I'm not short-circuiting anything. You're the one screaming names. I'm just
pointing out that not all of us are taken in by the argument that since
1000s are sold, that makes for a good anything.

Or are you just another troll JG, as Joe noted?


Well, Joe is entitled to his opinions. At least, I respect Joe because he
sails a great boat with skill.

"Dumb luck" Jon??? That just doesn't cut it. - If the boats were junk,

Because you are a troll, and that might give you opportunities to send
"Mac-bashing notes" to other Mac owners.

know that by reputation they are pretty well-made.

As to anecdotes, I guess mine are just not good enough for you... sigh....



Again, you're missing the point Jon. Which was that anecdotes, such as
your stories, aren't evidence. You are bashing a boat that is enjoyed by
thousands of people, yet you have no evidence or statistics to back up
your childish rantings other than a couple of anecdotes plus "your side"
only of a purported conversation with a Mac dealer. (Again, what were
the "extensive upgrades" the dealer recommended, Jon?? A reefing
system perhaps?? VHS radio? Extra anchor line maybe? PFD's, perhaps? )
Real extensive upgrades, right Jon?



In other words, it's obvious that you really don't have anything to back

pointing out that not all of us are taken in by the argument that since
1000s are sold, that makes for a good anything.



Again, you are only demonstrating your complete ignorance of the basic
principles of logic and statistics Jon. - The fact that 1000's have
been sold wasn't given as evidence that the boats are of high quality
(although they are). It was given as evidence that, if your statements
(Macs are junk) were true, then we would see hundreds of them falling
apart, foundering, etc.. Again, how many of them have "fallen apart" in
the SF bay? 200? 100? And what, exactly is the "extensive upgrade
work" the dealer recommends? Once again, you spout off those
generalities with only an anecdote to back it up. In contrast, on the
Mac discussion groups, there are many reports of Macs being sailed on
the SF Bay as well as up and down the California coast.

Where's your evidence that the Mac rigging is failing or coming apart,
Johnny? What statistics do you have on the number of Macs on which
the rigging failed?



Jon, you urgently need to take a course in basic logic. - You simply
don't get it. -




Or are you just another troll JG, as Joe noted?



Well, Joe is entitled to his opinions. At least, I respect Joe because he

You obviously ARE a troll. - It's clear that you have no interest
whatsoever in any rational, balanced, factual discussion of the subject.

You're right.. zero experience on the MaccrapM! You got me there.

Sorry, but I don't think it would be appropriate for me to give out his name. He loves making money from fools like you, and I wouldn't want to spoil it for him.

In your case, dumb luck is just about right! You're incredibly delusional if you think owning a MaccrapM is owning a quality boat. I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry that you think anyone is going to take you seriously.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with you owning a boat that fits your bill for the kind of sailing you do, apparently. Just don't try to tell people who are interested in a quality boat that the MaccrapM qualifies without extensive refit. It's really pathetic and makes you look dumber than I'm sure you are.

Why would I want to send things to other MaccrapM owners? I'm sure they have enough of their own problems!

But, keep posting. It's kinda amusing. Really!

Getting trolled and hooked by a no talent like Ganzy is probably the most
embarrassing thing imaginable.... next to owning a Mac 26X.

But Heh.... run with it... Ganzy thinks "adjusting the drag" means to
straighten his dress..

The "Practical" sailor?
 
Capt., I'm aware that Jon has enjoyed his Mac-bashing. But sometimes
people like him need to be called. From my experience, it sometimes
takes a month, sometimes two, sometimes more. Eventually, however, I
haven't seen many like him that survive with all their feathers in
place, and I happen to have the time to stick it out.

Sorry if I have offended any of the normals on the ng. - I'm certainly
trying to maintain a balanced approach. - The Macs aren't the best
choice for all individuals or all uses, of course.

Incidentally, what, if anything, did your note contribute to this
newsgroup? Anything of value or substance? Anything educational?

Or are you just another troll?



You'd best give your head a shake and have another look in the mirror....
