    ...and if it's in print, it must be true, right?
    I believe usa2 asked for proof, not marketing BS.

    just because its written there doesnt mean its true, as sorenfdk pointed out. I could write that i designed a sailboat that goes 20 knots to windward at 15 degrees apparent, but nobody will believe it unless they see it happen for real. Could you provide us with a video clip?

    Mig, can you just give a brief outline of what you've sailed and how you started sailing (and if you're really just a powerboater in disguise).

    SailDesign Old Phart! Stay upwind..

    Migho, you are a dork. Please read what you have said and then go bang your head against a wall for being so stupid. I am not trying to be unkind or judgemental, merely trying to point out that you are talking about things you have no knowledge of, and thereby making an *** of yourself.

    He really is. THE MAC 26 IS NOT A TRUE SAILBOAT and that's that. Sorry for being aggressive, but that's just how I feel. The Mac 26 is not suited for more than costal motoring.

    And the TP 52 is a boat designed for ocean racing and bouy racing. Simple as that.

    Lets just look at one of Franks lies for today:

    "No TP 52 is measured under IRC..."
    Lie - A TP 52 won the Annapolis to Newport race under IRC (A check shows that they have an endorced IRC certificate)

    You keep insulting powerboaters when you are in this string, but you are all over the powerboat strings too. You will not get the most polite replies in those strings if you are insulting us over here.

    I'm all over the whole forums, but I believe that sailing is exclusive to sails and an auxiliary motor (for use only in incliment weather and for emergencies). I am also an ardent opponent of Frank's mistakes and blatant, though innoffensive, lies. So, Steve, relax.

    Mackid I misread your last post :eek: having already got myself worked up over the post below which does seem to insult powerboaters :mad: , but maybe I misunderstood :confused:, which is the reason for my earlier post saying that you forgot the smiley faces.

    That being said, I'll now take your advice to relax (by going on vacation for a week).

    Jeeezz...

    How come Mighetto gets all this action when he posts something, but half the time when I respond to a thread, it starts free-falling through the list?

    We're not all that different, you know, we're both quite willing to spout off on anything and everything.

    Yoke.

    Because people are such DOOFS. :D

    "We're not all that different, you know, we're both quite willing to spout off on anything and everything."

    Yes, but the troll is much more proactive about it. And he knows he'll never have an intelligent question to ask here, so he has nothing to loose by being such an arse. :p

    Well then Skippy, there you go, that's another thing we have in common, I'll just have to be more proactive about it.

    Yoke.
