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!

then, when you have learned what you can from it, take the leap and move up to a Mac26M.


You will then be able to experience everything that sailing has to
offer, and you'll

appreciate it even more from your prior experience on conventional,
albeit dull boats.





What stupid advice!

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.

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.

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.

Neal has posted too much as "Ellen" to be consistent. He's going to have to
find a new puppet soon.
