I disagree Bill. It's a self-limiting boat.

Captain Ganz I am very familiar with your position relative to
the capabilities or the lack there of... pertaining to the Mac-
Gregor 26 X/M. I have followed your postings on other threads
having to do with the "Mac". I might add that I found your com-
mentary very usefull and respect your opinions along those lines.

Previous to my current interest in the MacGregor 26... I was
considering a 30-40 foot sloop or trawler but gave up the chase
after carefull consideration of my own limitations. More specific-
ally I wanted to be able to operate single handed... and found
that at my age (67) I would find such a sailing vessel rather intim-
idating for me physically.

So I looked into a trawler (I believe it was a 34' Mainliner) and
after trashing around for several hours outside the Ventura Harbor
(California) I came into bunker... which cost around $ 75.00...
for the fuel I had expended. I decided that ain't going to work
either... :-)

Like Dirty Harry use to say... "a man must know his limitations".

So as a result I kind of became enamored with the MacGregor con-
cept. Needlessto say... it appears that thousands of others have
as well.

And yeh... it's kind of a "wannabee" situation with the Mac... but
what the heck... for a lot of us it's better than nothing!

Best regards

Bill
