Hi there! Normally, I sail in Mediterranean region, and I've never done towing of my 2011 :macm: to water/back. Used to hire some guy with some small field tractor, or somebody from local offroad club. But it was getting more and more complicated each summer. So, I've installed a Draw-Tite towing hi...

Coming back to it, 5 years later. I can say that it turned out I don't cook much when sailing, caught fish can be grilled onshore (summer weather is normally nice here), in Marinas there's no need to cook, we eat kebabs outside... Normally we didn't cook at all, some local canned beans with other ve...

Page 2 of the manual - top of daggerboard no more than 57 in [1450 mm] from top of trunk, with a stopper knot to stop it there. http://www.macgregorsailors.com/manuals/Mac26M_Manual_2003.pdf THANK YOU! For some reason, reading the manual is often the last resort, so... :D Anyway, now I know that if...

I have also importet my :macm: in 2011 on my own. but had ordered the extra CE package. So I guess you dont have ordered it? Acording of this I got a wonderful CE Paper of course. If you want you could have a scan. But have to wait some weeks. I'm sailing on Lake constance... Thanks! No, the offici...

Hi, Sailors! Sorry, one more question. I am sailing in Turkey, and now it is a rare chance to take the boat to Turkish flag (possible only once in 10+ years)! But the agent is asking me whether I have any CE certificate for my :macm: (2011). Boat has been bought from Istanbul distributor and contain...

Hi! Just noticed that you're talking about the CE certificates, etc. I am sailing in Turkey, and now it is a rare chance to take the boat to Turkish flag (possible only once in 10+ years)! But the agent is asking me whether I have any CE certificate for my :macm: (2011). Boat bought from Istanbul di...

Hi, sailors! Last summer broke my daggerboard when entering the river. Yes, forgot to take it up (!!!), after 2 hrs uncomfortable sailing with unhappy Admiral. :( Has been a hard day for both of us. Bottom is sandy there, so the daggerboard wasn't broken, just got stuck, and probably I could have sa...

http://www.macgregorsailors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25657 The link above shows pictures - the wheel pilot and the tiller pilot cost the same new Thanks!!! Now I can see. Good job! If it wouldn't cost 20000 dollars up, I guess it would make sense if you patent your inventions! (And I don't...

DrV. But even telling Ray to "hold the course" like Robert does is most gratifying. Sorry, I cannot post pics--the boat is under a tarp and 5 inches of snow. Thank you very much, March! Yes, that's what I want now - make it hold the course. I know myself, and later, of course I would want...

Hi there! Finally, I have found such inportant topic. (Thanks, Boat! Seems like a good job done!) "Seems" (instead of "looks") - because I can not see ANY of the pictures Boat had published on the first page! All I see is exclamation mark, instead. :( :( :( Is there ANY way to se...

and one more question! how to hoist the spinnaker while sailing (mailsail is in place) 1. connect the 'forward' clew to the pulpit rail, or the anchor roller 2. hoist spinnaker with halyard 3. start pulling the 'rear' clew of spinnaker with winch, until good (using the line that goes from winch thro...

Hello everybody I guess it is a good place to ask here... Is there any solid reason to place the spinnaker halyard only 18" above the genoa halyard, or can I go all the way up the mast? We want to make the spinnaker fly as high as possible, to be as big as possible, do we? So why only 18" ...

Make sense? Not only it does make sense, it made my day!!! THANK YOU! So, for testing purposes , my plan is like this: 1. As I havent found (well... I didn't really try at all!) a way to rig the boom vang that I got from BWY, then I will just take the hound from the boom vang kit, and install it on...

Hello there! I am :macm: owner since 2011, and I have asymmetrical spinnaker since I bought my :macm: . Having to buy the boat for 1.5...1.7 times the US price, this is one of very few nice things I could get from Mac's official dealer here at Mediterranean. ;) However, I haven't rigged the spinnake...

On edit---Didn't see the OP date, so this is obsolete. Thanks anyway! ;) It is not obsolete, I am sure somebody would search for that info, find it and read it. About Ruddercraft rudders - I can say that they ARE better. Much better than originals. P.S. Other items already installed and tried! Boom...
