Don't include me in the bark-o-lounger group. - I was out

on my Mac 26M

most of yesterday afternoon. We had 15-mph winds, gusts

over 20.

Winds were a bit strong in the 22kt range.

As you can see the sea state was quite confused and

My ears are bruised bad, I swear my capulshka could pop

Here is proof:

He's a lobster, I know chicks dig lobster so we are

going trick e

He will wait in the van and watch DVD's on the flip down

screen until

11 or so when the girls start getting drunk then it's

off for a night

of fun. I bet the flip down Sanyo it worth more than

Scotty's boat..

Bwahahahahahahahahaaa

BTW I have a Yahama 2005 25HP long shaft 4 stroke that

was used only

three time here for sale.
Only 300 dollars for ASA members, I still have the

original shipping

You know my number, I've posted it here many times, just

call if you're

interested.

I'm outta here.

Get a sense of humor, Jim, that was funny. If you're going to own the
boat that has the worst reputation amongst sailors, deservedly or not,
you have to have a thick skin.

Scotty's just feeling his oats because booby isn't here to point out
that the Mac is the only boat he can look down on. The rest of us
would never engage in such gratuitous bashing.

Yes, we would...I'd rather sail the Bark-o-lounger....

My intended point was Scotty's monotonous, same-ole-same-ole approach. -
Always the same message.

The message essentially is that Macs are garbage, a pile of junk,
dangerously underbuilt, sailed only by novices, etc. And also, anyone
who enjoys sailing a Mac doesn't know anything about sailing.

But I may have to modify my previous remarks to a degree. - In reviewing
some of your past comments, I note the following:

"Watch it Skitchy, I have fond memories of that Mac. really, it's not a
bad little boat if you sail it within it's limits. I sailed farther on
that Mac than some P30 owners have sailed."
Scotty

Glad to see that you enjoyed your own Mac when you had it Scotty. - And
if you had owned one of the 26M's instead of your old, obsolete model,
you might like them even more.

Don't be to hard on yourself Jim. After all, its how you use the boat
that counts. It may not be my favorite, but if it helps you find
enjoyment on the water, be my guest!

Jeff,

As one of the few Mac sailors on the ng, I feel some responsibility to
provide a little balance to discussions of the Macs' characteristics and
capabilities from time to time. As previously discussed, I have
experience sailing a number of larger, conventional, weighted keel boats
(the Mac 26M has an internal, water ballast), so I'm well aware of the
limitations of the Mac when compared to such larger vessels. I'm also
aware of some of the limitations of conventional, weighted keel vessels.

As you say, the main issue is whether we are enjoying the sailing
experiences we get on our respective boats.

Speak for yourself Jeff, I'll gatuitiosly, perhaps even disengenuously,
bash just about anything. ;-o

Good for you, Jim.
