Default MacGregor 26M - Valiant 40

You're right! Most people buy a boat and hardly sail it. But, MacBoy
claimed he was going to sail it in high wind conditions up to 70kts. He's
clearly either delusional or a liar. He claimed that it's a better boat than
a Valient. It isn't. He claimed it is double-hulled. It isn't.

I'm not a big fan of hunters, but I am a big fan of people who actually
go sailing. If he were actually going to sail his Mac in conditions that
would be appropriate for that kind of boat (insert snikering here), then
I would have some respect for him.

one of the few available this year.


I don't know about lucky, but it's true about Macs, you have to wait for

them.
I suppose it's because they're the least expensive 26 footer out there.

Look, most people buy a boat that size and never sail it, so what

difference
does it make what kind of quality it is. It can stand up to rain in the

slip or
driveway as good as any other boat.

My wife and I are day sailors in our 14.5 foot Hunter. But we sail on the

ocean
and we sail all the time. That's what matters.
