Default My new boat

It looks like MacGregor 65, on steriods.

The Macgregor 65, is also known as the cheapest and
cheapest built 65 footer on the planet.

MacGregor claims it is the fastest production cruising
sailboat built (under sail or power), including even the
large cruising catamarans.

And it has won how many Transpacs? ZERO [0]

This from a designer who didn't think to put the galley sink
close to the centerline!

Do you like the cheezy interior? No wood anywhere!
Just drab fabrics, plastic, and stainless steel.

From what I hear most people replace all the deck hardware.
I'm not sure why. I would think they'd have to buy that stuff
from one of the major manufacturers.

I'm also told that used boats of this type are worth more than a
new ones because of all the work the previous owners had to do
to make it right.

On the plus side. The boat uses no core material, and the hull
deck flange is external.

That's either the new Hunter 26600 Express of the latest Benneteau Elite.
