Re: if you have bought the cockpit enclosure ? was it worth

Re: Is there another Macgregor site?

Two years after not owning my mac, I am stil reading this site for tips i can bring on my other boats.

I think that pretty speaks of utility and a comfortable exchange of information on this site. Even when I disagree.

Re: Potable Water and Epoxy

............In other words, you don't pump your drinking water out, you pump the ballast in. This will keep the amount of ballast constant, with no sloshing. tried it, doesnt work, hull is not designed for those kind of pressures........
