Tattoo 26 Stern rail seats

Evidently the rear staunchions (spelling) setup for a Tattoo 26 is different to the 25M. Anyone seen any stern rail seats fitted to a Tattoo?
Cheers

I agree. Definitely a need for this forum. Facebook is a bit of fun.

Re: Macgregor / Tattoo 26 Facebook Page

I'll say it again, but I suppose it's like banging a tin drum in the wilderness... Facebook is a nice place to chat with friends, but it's really nothing more than a fleeting conversation. Anything you post has to be looked at within about a month or so... after that, it's virtually impossible to s...

Macgregor / Tattoo 26 Facebook Page

Hi Being an overly excited Tattoo 26 owner as of August last year, I thought it would be a great idea to establish a Facebook group where like-minded enthusiast / Nutts can post photos and videos of their exploits. We have over twenty members so far. Let’s see if we can get it to over one hundred. T...

Re: Weight distribution.

Hi Lance, Yes, I remember, your on the canal and have two daughters right. It must have been after you looked, I had some people decided they were coming up from Victoria to look. The day before, I decided to move the boat (mast up) to wash it and promptly hit the side of the house with a shroud an...

Re: Weight distribution.

Hi Paul, I went shopping yesterday and picked up a 100 litre water bladder, good electric pump and a trigger operated shower handle and hose assembly. I am on a first name basis now with manager of our local Boating and RV store. In fact I think he's almost as glad that I brought my boat as I am .....

Re: Weight distribution.

Hi Lance, I had planned to put a new fitting on the bow but just havn't got around to it. All I did was drill a hole through the plough anchor and use an eye bolt to hold it in the standard bow roller fitting, then wrap the chain onto the cleat and into the anchor locker. Been like that for years a...

Re: Weight distribution.

We've had our Tattoo 26 for around 7 months now and have added a lot of weight all over the boat with fridges, tv's, spares etc. From what i learnt from most sailors is to keep the weight to a minimum in the bow area. I'm just about to install a water bladder and will probably put it under the dinin...

Re: Thunderstorms

Although I am sure this has been discussed before, I have been wondering as a recent MacGregor26X owner on what you do when caught in a thunderstorm (in regard to lightning) and unable to make it to shore? And same question when overnighting on the boat in a marina? Any personal experiences? We got...

Re: Buying a new Tattoo 26. what options are a must?

How can I post a photo? Quick and dirty: Go to http://www.tinypic.com, and upload from your computer (assuming you have the photo(s) on your computer already). Copy the returned link with the UBB code at each end (img and /img), which is the second of the four lines returned, and paste it directly ...

You're boat is looking great. What is your hull number?

I think it's 65. Isn't that bad. Can't bloody remember. Took it out into the ocean off the Gold Coast at the weekend. The boat performed extremely well. The girls loved it so much they fell asleep down below.
