Great starter boat but a bit small for comfortable off shore cruising. Been done, I'm sure, but not recommended. Pay particular attention to the standing rigging on the McGregor you are considering. The company is (or was) out of business when I tried to find a mast for a friend a few years ago.

Re: Been looking at
Search "Macgregor" and you'll get a sense of what this Forum thinks of those boats.

(You might also update your profile to say where you're based. It's helpful when you start threads that are pertinent to a particular sailing area).
