MacGregor 26M - Valiant 40
Never been on one but we love to laugh at the suckers that buy em.
I have been on one, at a boat show. Special price of $30k, all up and brand
new.
I would not buy it at $3k, unless I knew someone I could lay the thing off on
for $4k.
That is one flimsy boat, and those I have seen on the water (in under 8 knots
of wind) never sailed well (maybe Mac owners could blame the sailor) nor
motored well (maybe Mac owners could blame the engine as too small).
Some people *do* buy them though and call them sailboats just as some people
buy Wasa Brot and call it dessert.
