Come back when you're sober, Donal, if that ever happens. And do
lookup
the
difference between a centerboard trunk and a water ballast tank,
you're
embarrassing yourself.


How long did it take you figure it out? .... and why?

Figure out what? That you're generally drunk when you post? I think
we've all
known that for a long time. Or that you rant on about topics about which
you
know nothing at all? That's also been pretty clear for a while.

So... I've reduced you to launching Ad Hominem attacks on a drunkard.


How would you know? You're too drunk to tell reality from fantasy!


However, I seem to have failed in my efforts to stop you launching ad
hominem attacks on people who sail a boat that you don't approve of.

When did I launch "ad hominem attacks" on anyone because of their boat? And
when did I "disapprove" of Jim's boat? I only objected to his claims about
performance which often went beyond the marketing claims. Or his claims that
there was a long waiting list, when he got his in 5 weeks. Or his claims that
the past performance of the company, or the properties 26X were irrelevant,
because the 26M was a completely new boat. Or that it had a double hull, which
it doesn't. Or that the 26X had a 200 gallon centerboard trunk.

The fact that I objected to on these grounds does not mean that I don't approve
of the boat. In fact, I can understand why the Mac might be the best choice for
some boaters. (Though I wonder why anyone would get one in the Northeast, where
the draft is not an issue, and the chop usually prevents them from sailing well,
or achieving speed under power. A used Catalina 30 would seem to be a lot more
boat unless you really wanted a trailer boat.)
