No. He makes the money from the fools who buy the pieces of crap!

Well, it seems to you.

What are you saying, Johnnny? That they don't fall apart or break up?
That even though you think the Macs are a pile of junk, they still just
keep on sailing? - You're not making much sense.

No. They mostly don't sail much of anywhere in the conditions that
would cause them to break up and sink.

McDonalds makes billions of burgers, but I wouldn't want to eat them
on a regular basis.

Perhaps too much time...

You're missing the point again, Johnny. The fact that MacGregor sells
lots of boats wasn't mentioned as evidence that their boats are of
high quality (although they are). Instead, the point was that, with

Gee, really? Seems like it to me, but feel free to try an justify your
poor choice of boats.

You're really obsessed with Macs breaking up...

You're obsessed with calling them a pile of junk. Could you possibly
come up with another term Johnny?

At least I'm being accurate! Ok... they're composed of many pieces of
junk!

Assertions of what? They're junky, they look like it, they sail like
it. There are no statistics needed.


If they were just a pile of junk, as you say, and if their rigging were
not built appropriately for the loads, they would be failing, capsizing,
and breaking up after a few months of use in moderate winds. - But they
aren't, and that's why you are having trouble backing up your ridiculous
statements. - Put up or shut up Johnny!

Their rigging is minimal at best. It's quite appropriate for protected
waters found on some lakes. Any other place, and they won't last long.

No problem backing up any of my statements, as they are my opinion
based on observation.... Jimmmy.
