Yeh Mark I have the Fugawi ENC and love it. A few week back our local Power Squadron had a fellow in demoing all types of computer charting software. The one that impressed me most was Boat Cruiser by Navsim http://www.navsim.com/products/boatcruiser2/ . The software has a night vision mode that eve...

Well we are all at the flotilla at Ganges Harbour baving a great time. Wondering where Allegro is. Hope to see Duane soon.

Thanks for all your input. I have ordered a Genoa on a furler. I have also found someone who has a jib for sale. On the west coast of Canada in the summer you can get very light winds. Some days you can get 15-25knot winds but I would probably use the main and a partially furled genoa.

I am buying a 2005 26M and need to know from you M owners if you would buy a Genoa or Jib. The local dealers says that since the main gets so much power the jib is preferable since it allows you to point higher. We are installing a furler.

Duane is right, BWY has obviously done a great job of sale and that is why there delivery is June. The local dealer is having a hard time getting a delivery date from the factory. Thus my frustration. I could get one from the Alberta dealer but I have one question. What about warrantee work? I do no...

I checked with Blue Water Yachts and they are June. I am still waiting to hear from the Canadian west coast dealer but Gerry said he is very busy. Sold my 26X, cash in my jeans, want a boat.

I want to buying a new Mac. 26M but am looking for a dealer on the west coast who can supply in the next 4 weeks. I remember someone saying that there was a dealer in California who would sell a boat straight from the factory, unriggered, for a very competative price. We would prefer to have it rigg...

To help guide and center my boat on the trailer I used a mod from the"Modification - trailer" section called "Trailer guides" by Robert Lee posted June 22, 2001. This work great. Not only does it guide the boat on and centers it but make a perfect place to stand on the trailer.[/...

He did this in a 26' classic. This is fantastic. My wife and I are sending our 26X (or 26M) to England in a few years to sail the canals there and in Europe. After a year of the canals we may come back and do the Caribean.

This board shows that there is many different people with different needs. I am selling my 2001 26X with a 50HP Honda if anyone is interested. I am buying the new 26M since the wife and I are intending in sending it to Europe to live on and cruise the canals for a year or so. We have had the 26X for...

This is a group of Mac owners based in Vancouver who get together to swap tips, sail and explore together. and just enjoy each others company. The club has about 40+ boats and ...

If your concerned about frame rail strength when you drill a second hole to raise the fender you could weld a doubler plate of about 4"x4" on the inside of the web of the c-chanel. I really dought that drilling a hole where the fenders are on the chanel would make much of a difference in s...

Well I did it, I have a Dell Axim x50v coming and am going Duane's route. What a lot of great information yo all have. DullBoy, what GPS with bluetooth did you buy? I have ordered the GPS system from Dell which I believe is actually a Pharos Pochet GPS with Bluetooth. If I do not like it I can retur...
