Hi all. I owned a Mac26M for 3 weeks. I couldn't stand the thing. It
was horrible. I live near Philly and bought the Mac from A1 sailboats
in MD. They are nice folks and I have no qualms with them. But the
boat itself was God awfull. Wouldn't plane, and I had a Merc Big Foot
50 , steered horrible under power. Can't sail worth a damn. Won't
point at all. Wallows dangerously downwind and is slow slow SLOW to
boot. I took it back to the dealer and because of a paper screw up I
was reimbursed 98% of my money.
I am now trying to decide weather to buy a real sailboat and a jetski
or a power boat and a small sailing skiff. I will be moving to the
Annapolis area come July.

Bob, when did you buy the Mac 26M, and how much did you pay for it. Did
you write a check or obtain financing? And did you trade in your Tartan 37?

I made the deal in Jan., picked up the piece of **** second week of
March. Returned it March 27th. Paid $36,295. I used my American
Express Gold card, that's why I was able to get my $$$ back, save for
the $500 I bought some accessories with. What is a Tartan 37? Why
are you so nosey?
