I'm interested in getting a Macgregor 26, but I never see listings for 26s near home. Any kind soul from, say, Kenner, La to Mobile, Al willing to show off your pride and joy for my better half? If so, please e-mail me at papageorge613@yahoo.com . Thanks George

See Yachtworld.com

There are 2 Mac 26s models available in La. Check them out, they're constantly adding more. We have a 92 s model and it's been the best thing we've bought for ourselves in years. It's easy to sail(your wife can learn to handle it alone),low maintenance and darn good fun. Given the same money, I'd buy another in a minute.

My wife was apprehensive.....

also, but after a few quiet and relaxing trips, she really enjoys our Mac 26S and sailing in general. In fact she enjoys it so much that we are now planning to retire in about 8 years and purchase a larger boat to sail the Carib. This is just dandy with her. She is in fact looking forward to it.

Hey, Robert... Us too!

Only for us the plan is in 12-14 years. Right behind you. On our first weekend trip after buying "Splash" our '92 s model and after anchoring, after a morning of sailing, we were starting to try and organize our belongings into different spots. My wife was in the V berth arranging sleeping bags when all of a sudden out of her mouth came, "Honey, it's kind of close in up here, should we have gotten a bigger boat?" At that moment I never loved her more. Now, if she doesn't get out at least twice a month, she's hell to live with. So of course since I love her so, I force myself out on the lake for a day. You know, all for the one I love. Right?
