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. Jim Jim, You are exactly right. Scout |
