Hi vizwhiz! Sorry to hear your letting go of your Mac but times change and one has to change with them. There is a time for everything. Better to let go of things and focus on family (rather than letting a thing become a boat anchor to moving forward to enjoying your life). We’re sure that you’re g...
Terrific to see you back vizwhiz; not so terrific that you’re leaving. Yes, the classified section is still here, still not costing anything. I believe you have to register to place an add. When you have a sale for the boat, remember to give a small donation to the site; it helps keeping it going. ...
Well "Hello Again!" Macgregorsailors family!! 8) I've been MIA for almost 5 years now, but I'm doing fine and living life. Sorry to have been so distant. :| A lot has happened, and then again, it seems like a lot is the same - but life still went ripping by year after year. I think I was l...
I’m here, proudly representing sunny central Florida! 8) Been a long time, and I’ve been hanging around over on FB, staying visible and waiting for the next good opportunity to point people over here where the real answers are! :P Glad to have this site back up, and a big “thank you” to Heath for th...
Sumner has a nice 33-ish foot long Endeavor that he has mentioned selling...if nothing else, you might be able to coordinate a day trip with him when he comes down to Florida to play in the fall... A lot of this will depend on what you want to accomplish with the boat... An Endeavor or an Island Pac...
I did something like this on my 26S, but the joint may be different... mine was a flat flange-to-flange connection, so it was “easy”. Sounds like yours is an overlap type, thus the risk of sagging and having to keep things screwed together. It also sounds like your rail screws into place, which is d...
Herschel...he’s the guy. Look him up and ping him. He has had a Mac for years, and his is slipped on East Toho I believe, or maybe now on Lake Jesup or Lake Monroe in Sanford area. Lots of experience, very knowledgable, and also does sailing lessons from what I remember.
Thanks Tomfoolery... the axle tube is rusted badly and i was going to replace it eventually anyway. So I’m figuring out my options... the spindles and bearings seem to be fine, it’s mostly just rust consuming my trailer...
Aaahh... no rudders when you’re trawler-ing. Makes more sense now. I like the idea of a set of shorter rudders to help. Just leave them down and locked straight to act as a skeg. Then you could always use them to help maneuver in tight spaces at low speed also...
Okay, I found some stuff that I’m sure would work pretty well. One question - what wind indicator units are you using? Or are you plugging this into a multipurpose autopilot / trip computer (Raymarine, Garnin, etc.)? What I’m wanting to check into is what auxiliary inputs these devices have availabl...
