Hello all!! I am currently a Macgreggor owner, but I am looking to move up to the next level of trailer sailers, and I am really intrugued about the 260. First of all, how is the handling of the boat. THe Mac 25 can be a little tender, and is a little light for heavy winds and swells. I guess I should mention that I primarily sail in SF Bay, so conditions can be great one minute and the next can make you cry for your mommy. I can handle the Bay in my boat, and Love it, but I am looking for some stability and a boat that I can stand up in while in the cabin.
I am looking for any comments good, bad, indifferent. If there is a better boat out there that you all can recommend, then I can entertain that as well, but I have my hopes on a Hunter 260 or 270 that I can pull behind the truck and keep in the yard rather than in a berth.
What are the best features of the 260/270's? What should I look for? What should I expect? I think the selling feature for me is the wheel/helm steering, and the selling features for the wife are the stern seats.
If anyone knows of one close to California for sale, I am willing to take a look. I don't need a motor, but if one has one, I will take it.
Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
Gregg
