The only thing wrong with a MacGregor is the negative elitist attitudes that always bash it, just goes to show the mentality of some sailors.
We have a MacGregor yacht club here in the PNW with well over 30 boats in the membership, there are vastly more MacGregors here than that, but these are what our club has. We enjoy many activities, including Regattas, MacRendezvous and cruises along with pot luck dinners and great comraderie. I have never met an unsatisfied owner, everyone seems to really like their MacGregor myself included. They are one of the most popularly sold sailboats of their class for very good reasons, affordable, versatile, easy to maintain, and forgiving to the beginner. I see more MacGregor sailboats than any other brand in my neck of the woods. The owners are happy with them.
