Duh! Your talking to Nellen MacArthur. That's a Scotty sock puppet. Where have
you been, Maxprop?

Cheers,
Ellen

Start with
an Island Packet, Swan, Valiant, Sabre, or the like, and

then, when you

can't stand sailing anymore and want to become a

powerboater

buy a Mac26M. (with the big motor of course)

Jim



What stupid advice!

Nelly


You forgot to say "duh"....

It's not a problem. My plonk filter is very easy to use. :-)

What are you talking about Nell? It's quite logical that he should start
with a good, but conventional boat, and then move up to a Mac. - Save the
best for last.


Jim


Got any pictures of your boat while sailing her yet? Given your excellent
sailing credentials, it should be hard to do.

Capt., are quite right when you say it should be hard for me to take
pictures. - *I'm usually sailing solo, so I can't very well take photos of
the boat other than pictures of the deck, etc. *Also, it's cold as h____
these days, and I really don't enjoy getting out there in this weather.
Hopefully I'll be out again in February.


Jim


Well, I single-hand all the time, and I don't have trouble taking pictures
of me and the boat. It's cold here also. I'm sailing on Thursday.


So what do you want, an award?

Having spent weeks at a time (2-5 weeks trips) offshore in small boats
(50-90ft) for 20 years, I have to agree with Loco. Much nicer to make port
every night or couple of days. I would like to take that trip from Clipper
Lines from southeast asia to the med sometime. First class all the way. The
price is around 10k for the whole passage. Half the price of a mac 26.


I would admit that they would probably have better food and
entertainment than what's available on the Mac. Better wine list also maybe.

The toilets on a cruise ship can outsail a Mac26MX. They
look better, too.

I don't know what a Goldtoe sock is, but it sure sounds

Goldtoe socks aren't gay..they're one of the best manufactured mens
socks on the market...they wear like iron...even in steel toed shoes
under factory conditions...Mr Sails likes them best...
