Congrats on being back in the water. ..... Next time I will rent a compressor and do it my self with a harbor freight air sander. That is THE ONLY way to sand boat bottoms. Period.

Sumner, I saw your version. I like the versatility, but I was wanting to create a version that would store over the sink. As usual...you are the gold standard. It is always good to get your feedback. Robert Up high over the sink or laying on it? I wouldn't want anything I had to move to use the sin...

I'm still figuring out what I want to do for a table. ... We faced the same problem at first. I didn't like the idea of anything fixed in location as there is no ideal location on a boat of our size. I came up with the following table that ... http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/macgregor/09-24...

....Next set up will be to connect batteries in parallel as one bank and eliminate combiner. I carry a NOCO genius boost in case it is drawn down too far. +1 If one uses the ACR I'd run all the charging sources to one battery and let the ACR take care of the other. That seems to be the preferred me...

Boat, Ricard has a 26S. I don’t believe there is a wheel. If I’m wrong, I’m sure the correction will arrive swiftly. :) Ray Correct, according to his signature he has an S.

I have a Mac 25 and have always reversed using both the outboard and rudder. It makes the backing up process very precise. In all honesty, I wouldn't know how else to reverse as precisely without using this method. The above works perfectly with the 26S. You can back and turn the boat in its own le...

Never a problem and I've taken the outboard off for storage a year at a time and mounted it, attached the fuel line and fired it right up without touching the bulb but did fire the ...

.... I guess now that's my question is if once I get to the abacos if I will be disappointed because it's not nearly as beautiful as the exumas and pretty similar to the keys or if it will be just as stunning as the exumas...

For me there is no comparison now. The Keys are just a step in getting to the Bahamas. Water quality is better but that isn't the determining factor.

How do you have clearance between your boom and your bimini? I realize I've only sailed on my old boat with blown out sails, but on my boat I have to be careful of boom smacking the poptop. I can't imagine adding another structure to worry about. New sails are in the budget for next season though, ...

They tried this before a few years back and had to give it up. Can't see how they can do it with the overhead and taxes on individual stores vs. an internet store that doesn't have a lot of that, Sumner I think if they don't do it, they wont be competitive enough to stay viable. I'm not sure about ...
