The Joys of Boating
"Vic Smith" wrote in message ... Right. I'm not going to do an impulse buy. That's excellent that you're taking your time and doing it right. There's one moron around here by the name of JimC who claims he's a lawyer. He ran out on an impulse and bought a Mac26M and now is totally embarrassed about his uninformed entry-level purchase. It's like I'm sure people look at his boat and then find out he's a lawyer and they begin to wonder how lame is this guy. Lawyers who are worth a hoot make, what, about 500 dollars an hour so he ought to be able to afford a real boat and a classy boat at that. Anyhow, poor JimC spent probably a hundred hours posting things about how he was so happy with his purchase but you could tell he was not happy at all. Somebody who's happy with his boat doesn't spend hundreds of hours trying to convince himself how great it is. But, I think the dude finally got the message that everybody thought he was pretty stupid and he got totally disrespected so he sorta slunk off with his tail tucked. He just about quit posting on alt.sailing.asa because he became the laughing stock of the group. If you are the type of individual who is a bit insecure about his personal worth and has low self-esteem and is a bit paranoid like Jonathan Ganz, for example, do yourself a favor and consider how people will snicker behind your back and make snide remarks about your pretend sailboat. If that sort of thing gets to you perhaps you should reconsider and get a boat that is more prestigious. If you don't give a crap what people think about your choice of boat and it doesn't bother your self-esteem the Mac 26 could be a decent choice for you. If you're more like Scotty you won't care at all what people think. Scotty sails a Seidelmann which has a worse reputation than even a Mac26. He doesn't seem to care that almost everybody laughs at him behind his back and shuns him to his face when confronted with him in person. He's the type that probably would be very happy with a Mac26.
