Yeah, what he said!

Xtually the Mac26 PowR-SailR isn't a bad boat if you understand it's limits and
agree with the basic design philosophy. MacGregor has always built their boats
to be very inexpensive but that doesn't necessarily make them bad, or flimsy.
There are a heck of a lot of 20 and 30 year old Ventures & MacGregors out there
sailing.

Most of the older MacGregor models sail fairly well. Some are quite good, the
Mac 25, which was the predecessor to the older water ballast 26, has left many a
more expensive & prestigious yacht in it's wake.
