You’re a brave man having your drone that far away over water.

Re: Epic Boys Trip VIII - French River Delta Georgian Bay

Awesome video. How did you get past the music copyright flags on youtube? Wonderful scenery and drone footage. What kind of drone are you using? Looks amazing. I let the music artists run ads on my video and let them get all the revenue so they allow it. have a DJI Phantom 4 drone. It is about 4 ye...

Don't forget about Blue Water Yachts. I got my main sail from them and always recommend supporting the Mac dealers first.

Re: Video: 1 Week Trip to Georgian Bay 26M

I got it from BWY. I think they call it a square top performance sail. It is thicker than the stock Mac sail but I can still use my old sail cover on it.

Re: Video: 1 Week Trip to Georgian Bay 26M

I can highly recommend that power sail. It spills the wind nicely on gusts so less lean compared to my old blown out sail. I had it for about 4 yrs already.

Re: Where is everyone?

I stopped visiting the site because the home page did not show the most recent posts. Only today, thanks to this post, did I realized it is hidden in the quick links.

Can we pls make the active topics the home page or get it shown on the move page?

I love this site...let us keep it going.

Re: I hate to say it...

I just made a donation, hopefully the right person receives it. This site is too valuable to end and helps with the resell value of out boats too.

Long live the Macs and this site.

I am not a racer and do not belong to a club or have numbers on my sails. But last year I entered the cruising class of this regatta. What a fun event which includes breakfast, racing followed by food and beer and wine! All for a good cause! I was the only Macgregor in in the cruising class and I fi...

Re: Storms on the Chesapeake

I read that two anchors in series hold better than in a V formation. The reason is that each anchor will only experience Half the force at any time. With a V formation, sharing the load between two anchors equally can only happen if the boat in perfectly aligned to the wind, does not swing and rode ...
