Re: MacGregor Yacht Club of B.C.

I'm out of Northern Alberta and am a member of MYCBC going on my second year and have owned my boat for three years.

Isn't that what the cable is for? Holds the seat down and gets clipped onto the lifeline to hold the seat open.

Re: Helm Seat Cracking on 2008 26M

Have you considered having someone go on a diet? :) My helm seat is starting to crack where the corner sits flush with the starboard side cockpit bench. Does anyone have any great suggestions for a fix before it gets out of hand and requires a full replacement. I do have lots of good pictures of it...

Re: water ingres by the steering when heeling

I understand where you are coming from BOAT. When I was researching the best sail boat for my needs and came across something like this title, I may not have bought my 26M last fall. Maybe the original poster could change the title to solve that concern. What I do not want to happen is to have the t...

90HP Outboard Motor

I am looking at buying a MAC 26 just not sure if it will be a C, X, or M yet? I have noticed some come with a 9HP all the way up to a 90HP. I recently had the opportunity to take an X out on the lake that has a 50HP outboard. It struggled to get to 8 knots with the swing keel almost up and the water...
