You and the Mac26 is probably a marriage made in heaven. . . Buy one
right away. But consider a good used one as there are lots of them
available and the original owner will take the hit on the initial
depreciation that way. Most people who buy Macs don't really sail them a
whole lot. They soon discover it's a bit too much trouble all that
tailoring and raising and lowering of the mast and launching and parking
the car and trailer. It's just gets to be too much of a hassle. So, that
being the case, many Macs just sit in driveways for months on end and
stay in relatively decent shape.

Thanks for the advice Cap'n. Good points. As for the trailering
stuff, I figure I can moor somewhere and avoid that.
That way I'll get to do more sailing without all that mast raising and
adjustment nonsense. Just untie, motor off, and hoist sail per
instructions.
