Re: Mac 26m Mast shape changed from 3x5inch to 3x4inch ?

What to do ... what to do ......
I guess the cutting board is probably an easy option for me.
Or maybe I should just cut some aluminium and paint the dang thing.
Pain in the butt.

Re: Mac 26m Mast shape changed from 3x5inch to 3x4inch ?

Wanna sell it ? $10 via paypal ? Here is the official response from MacGregor. We only offer mast caps for the current extrusion. If your boat was a 2007 model built in late 2006 (Hull number ending607) no mast cap is available. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful on this. Boat only 4 years old and ...

Thanks for sorting that out Terry.
You would think MacGregor would still supply the mast caps for the old one though !

Mac 26m Mast shape changed from 3x5inch to 3x4inch ?

Hi all,
I need a new mast cap.
I have been told by the local dealer (who was told by the factory) that the :macm: mast hasn't changed shape.
However the people at BWY tell me there are two shapes. the new one is 3x4inch and the old shape is 3x5inch.
Can someone tell me who's right ?
Cheers

I was out yesterday (motoring, sail down) and doing my level best to avoid running into anything or anyone but some race club had a whole bunch of 2 person dingys running amok just down from the narrows. In fact the whole river ...

Re: Confused New Mac owner

Hey Shanker, As they say a picture paint's a thousand words. (this is of the :macm: but I imagine the :macx: is similar). http://i476.photobucket.com/albums/rr126/bugplug/MacM/boatcomponents.gif The hull is to the left. Personally I wouldn't make any deliberate holes in that. The second thing to the...
