It's a terrible boat. Caveat emptor.
Harry, as the last sentence of the above para I had written:
MacGregors are to "sailors" as Bayliners are to "Krauses."
I snipped it.
Here you are, so that didn't work.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up. �I'm far from sold on it.

You probably won't be coming back to shore, either. Make sure you file a

Sounds like Sir Krause of the Bayliner Jousts.

You are entitled to your opinion, but you are wrong to state that a
MacGregor is a patently unsafe or life threatening choice. Like any
boat, it must be used with an eye to the weather.

"See, as you push the water deeper under water it get's less dense and
becomes buoyant. Fortunately, water is still heavier than air, otherwise
all the buoyant water from the bottom of the ocean would float right up
out of the water instead of sinking in the air."
