My wife and I had problems raising the sail all the way on our M just as you described. The reason we had raising the main all the way was that we had the main sheet pulled in too far. We did this to keep the boom from swinging around on the way out. The problem was it pulls the boom down too far to...

Thanx for posting the great pic's. My wife and I live just a few miles from lake mead and we are getting our new mac on the 25 of this month.

The numbers look good and it is EPA 2006 certified. I would like to know if anyone has experience with this motor. Is it quite? Fuel usage? Do...

My wife and I just put our deposit on a new M yesterday. The one that we test sailed was a new 06( splashed three days prior). the only thing that I saw that was diff was that the gally counter top was the same color as the linner instead of the corion looking finish. I was told that is the way they...
