I am new to your site, and have spent hours reading posts and learning about sailing. I am very impressed with how friendly and helpfull peope are here. 
I have never sailed on my own, and my last experience was 25 years ago, but having talked it over with the boss (wife), we would like to learn to sail and maybe purchase in the next year. I have (limited) motor boat experience in the Great lakes and ICW in Florida.
I like what I have read from Macgregor owners about ease of use, maintance, trailering, SAFETY, and cost vs benefits.
So far the 26x looks like it would meet our needs and provide flexibility.
We are looking for a boat to use in Michigan waters, in-land to start. We are a family of four (47/47/13/10), adventurous, fit, like to travel, fish, sun and fun, all 4 motorcycle riders...ect.
I welcome all opinions and recommendations for starting out safely and sanely.
Respectfully,
Rich
