Why hate MacGregors... or Ventures?
They're the Wal-Mart of boats. Not all that good, but
hey they're cheap &
readily available.

One can generally obtain an aging, but well-cared for
Catalina or Hunter for
the same money. Better value, and you don't have to be
ashamed to sail one.


a new 26 x is around $30k, there are lots of used, but nicer
*real* boats for that kind of cash.
