As I have admitted in some past postings... I own a MacGregor
26M.

Don't read me wrong... I have had an enjoyable time with my Mac...
but I have always been cognizant and respectfull of it's blue water
limitations.

Obviously... Mr. MacGregor has successfully served a niche market
for a small affordable trailerable boat that can operate under sail
and/or motor but subject to it's lattitudes and limitations.

Such as you have implied... those that want to go on into serious
sailing and/or motorized cruising... will be looking elsewhere at
some point in time.

Well there is always the MacGregor 65... (smile)

The Mac 65 is awesome. It holds all kinds of speed records. The only
boat faster in the MacGregor stable is the Mac36 catamaran. It's been
clocked at over thirty-five knots.
