Early 26M, BWY mast holder upgrade to arch type
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2019 8:36 pm
Hello,
I bought an used Macgregor 26M last year and now is time to update it to be more suitable for my use...
As a part of these updates, I am going to replace forks style mast holder with more permanent arch in aft boat and so I bought from BWY brackets and arch. I used search but only found conceptual discussions especially for but did not find anyone explaining what they did. Have anyone actually done this update for early ?
I have been myself been trying to look how to get this done. I removed panel and got access to back, but brackets need to be installed to top of bulkhead, just below Captain’s seat... After crawling to aft berth over all stuff I have stored there, I came to conclusion that I need to have inside a friend with 4 ft arms that are 2” thick and head hopefully size of tennis ball while I drill and set the things outside
As nobody I know fits the description, I decided to ask advice here. How have you managed to do this?
Thank you & Best regards,
Petri
