Re: Raising Roller Furling Jib

Thanks! While I have not read the whole thing, that appears to answer the question. And then some!

Re: Swept spreaders and mainsail shape

Bob, I know I am stating the obvious here, but the luff of the main has not been feed into the track on the mast. The foot of the main is only held on at the clew and tack, but the luff needs to be in the track. Has the "rope" worn off?? I, too have a roller furling main on my 2013 :macm: ...

Mast is bouncing a great deal while towed

My 2013 :macm: has the mast support at the bow and stern, but nothing in the middle. Should I make something? Because it bounces dramatically, even on smooth roads. I am making a PVC pipe (cut in half) for the roller furler to sit in while still attached to the mast, so I could just get more PVC pip...

Raising Roller Furling Jib

I bought a 2013 :macm: that was never used. The jib was still in the bag, but the roller furler was with the boat, and had a thick halyard run through it. This issue I am having is the halyard does not seem right. It is too thick to run through the track. In fact, I do not see where it is supposed t...

Re: New Head for a New Boat

Bobbob,

I appreciate the feedback, but which one are you referring to> You said Dry Head. Are you referring to Dry Flush? Or is it a different one altogether? Also, still not sure what it costs, but no installation is a big plus!

Re: New Head for a New Boat

Thank you both for the suggestions. I will do deeper research, but my two concerns are easy of installation (The compartment has an untouched surface that is staring at me! And, the sloped nature seems to make the installation needlessly difficult) and cost. I am cost-concuss, but in this area, a go...

New Head for a New Boat

Hello Mac sailors! I have been looking at these boats for years and have now finally bought one. I have purchased a 2013 26M :macm: that was never used. (The fenders are still in the bags.) The boat is very well equipped, but no head. I have search this site, but have not found the topic that would ...
