Why Buying A Sailboat In January Is A Mistake - some interesting points.

The economics of building a sub 35 foot boat - makes some interesting points about the single-handed sailability of 30 ft. and under boats.

Interesting. Isn't there govt. funding for that? Somewhere? :P Tractor tires have always used calcium chloride which is heavier than water but corrosive, the current material is Beet juice which is environmentally friendly and weighs 11 pounds per gallon vs water which is 8, why not fill the ballast...

Halfway decent Macgregor sailboat video

Too rough for me

While I have a high regard for my X, I have to agree 8) That looks great. Now you own the nicest looking X in the world. I replaced my fuse panel with a breaker panel. Many claim fuses are better and they are probably right. But I've blown fuses and when underway it's really hard to replace one.

Some nice pics of 26X's and M's - not entirely sure why - never considered my Mac a "luxury boat"

The hidden costs of solo sailing - my experience is that Mac owners tends to avoid many of these.

Just saw another "11 worst sailboats ever" on YT. The person appears to be remarkably ignorant about the Macgregor line. I left a blurb and I encourage others to do so also. Be nice.

Ditto
