26' MacGregor 26S

This is a chance to buy a one of a kind boat that might be about the most practical cruising boat in the 20-28 foot range you will ever find. If you are looking for a boat to take down to the water Friday night and sail for a couple hours this isnt the boat for you. Now if you are going to put in the water and want to be in a week, a month or more on an extended trip where you could end up in any kind of weather this is a boat you should take a serious look at.
