labatt is on a distinguished road
Should I bid on this boat?

I'd love to take credit for finding this gem, but I saw it posted on CSBB... I'd love to see the various performance ratios on it. Should I put in a bid? It's really sweet.

SailorMitch will become famous soon enough
First saw this one on Sailing Anarchy. One is tempted to say they ruined a perfectly good boat. But when you realize it's a MacGregor they did that too.................

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Holy Moly! If she wasn't female by nature, I would say that Mac is happy to have Giu buying her.

I don't want a Mac (*), OK???

But if did not have a boat, and a Mac (*) was my only choice to keep me sailing and going to sea, I would buy one, believe me...yes I would...
