[Rhodes22-list] Bill's reply on Mac 26 and Hunter Sailboats!

[ed kroposki]

Bill Said:

	"Actually, I owned a Mac 26 water ballast ... is fun, although it is
true that failing to put any water into the tank gives the word "tender" a
whole new meaning...it's hairy.  A cheap thrill ...1/2 filling the ballast
tank is also very interesting."
	
Bill:
	So if you liked water ballast so much, why don't you still have a
water ballast boat, like the Mac or Hunter?  Give the two guys looking at
the Hunter and the Mac your insights.
	Are there any safety or boat integrity issues specific to water
ballast?  You are the one who has had both type boats.  What are your
experienced insights?
