Yeah, $60k is not really "entry level" to most people. As Gotro alludes to, it depends on one's definition of "yatch". Mine would be closer to a boat that cannot be removed from the water without using a hoist and cannot be trailered safely by a vehicle with a 3500-lb towing capacity.

With slip fees and insurance costing what they do, I am very glad I have a sailboat that I can pull out of the water without paying upwards of $800 bucks just to get it out of the water, let alone paying yard fees while it is on the hard.

Yep. Thanks Roger. Also, thanks to BWY for their dedication to serving the MacGregor owners.

Y'all do know the name of the company that manufactured your vessel and the name of their largest dealer and current go-to supplier for all of your parts and accessories, right?

Just saying.
