This is a very interesting topic. I am considering buying a MacGregor 26
(not the new 26X) and wondered if anyone knows of a discussion group for
this type of boat. I would be interested in following a group such as
this to glean valuable info such as that info that is attainable through
this great discussion group.

Any help with a location of this type of group would be greatly
appreciated.
