Re: Brakes not dis-engaging -- VERY hot!!!

Chris, Sounds logical. I am probably going to skip out early one day...or skip a day entirely...this week and go out and examine that. But I will call the trailer dealership first and see what they tell me. But the tongue is extended because I can still stick the pin in the manual "reverse lock...

Re: Upper Chesapeake sailors

Thanks for sharing, Jim! It truly was a pleasure meeting you, Pedro and the other sailors. This race is a lot of fun and gives one a good reason to get some serious night sailing, with a group of sailors. Hopefully, especially after viewing your race review, next year some more Macgregor/Ventures w...

Re: Upper Chesapeake sailors

Sippy Cup took place over the weekend. Unfortunately my 26M was TROUNCED by two very nice Mac Ventures...Venture 22 ("Whimsey") and a Venture 25 ("Mis Ad-Venture"). In fact Pedro (aka "Sea Wind") and I had to "withdraw" from the race after about 30 miles. The ...

Re: Pictures taken from your MacGregor

You can't upload pics to this server. You have to store somewhere else on the web and link to it. Many use photobucket. Create account...upload pic(s)...then select the "img" link (of the 4 different links they offer) and you can paste it directly here and the photo will show up. Cheers, J...

First night we were beached at Hart-Miller Island (highly recommended) and had a cookout. After sitting out a 2-hour rain squall Saturday morning we all ...

2 x 26X's at Gulfport Small Craft Harbort
