Apply yourself if you could take 75 days of slamming at 100 degrees.

For Jim and his Mac, quite a bit! :-)

On a light, responsive boat like the Mac 26M, we don't have to wait
until we get 25+ knot winds to have an enjoyable cruise, JG. It's sort
of analogous to the difference between driving a lightweight sports car
like a Porsche or Ferrari, (equivalent to my boat) or a heavy vehicle
such as a Suburban or Town Car (equivalent to heavy conventional boats
that take 1/4 mile to get up to speed). - Of course, it's largely a
matter of personal tastes. Like, some people enjoy driving Ferraris and
Porsches, whereas others prefer driving a Suburban.

You sure do spend a lot of energy trying to defend your boat.

It is NOT comparable to a Porshe or Ferrari. It is comparable to a Ford
Escort, except that it's twice the price.

But, good for you. You've got a nice big engine that will hopefully get you
out of those terrible 15 kts wind conditions and back on dry land.

You sure do spend a lot of energy trying to defend your boat.

And you sure do spend a lot of time tearing it down. - Why is this, JG?
- Nothing better to do?

Put sails on a Ford Escort and it will outsail a
MacCrap26Xm.

Actually, I don't and haven't. How many posts have I initiated slamming your
boat in the last month?

Nothing better to do? Yes. Sail, not motor.

JG,

Looking over some of the previous discussions, I'm concluding that I was
wrong. - You don't seem to spend a lot of time bashing the Macs, and
when you do, your comments are quite rational. So, I'll have to
apologize for my intemperate remarks. (I get a lot of flack from several
contributors on this ng, and I think I confused you with someone else.)

Incidentally, my note comparing the Macs with Ferraris was a joke, of
course. I thought most folks would realize that.

Apology accepted. I didn't get the joke, however, since the Macs do have a
big engine and go fast under power. :-)
