Re: 26M Aluminum Trailer

Yes, the contact points are just so small.

You seem to have the original trailer setup.

Never heard that the boat cracked.

Hey Bill, Thanks for the responseoes anyone have an original 26M Aluminum Macgregor trailer that has the original wood bunks in place. If so, does the two side to side bunks only make contact with the boat hull in 3 locations on each of the two rear bunks. My bunks were replaced, but it appears tha...

Re: Capsize Angle

Kurz, Before sending my previous post, I looked through the two :macm: manuals in our resource section. There is much information and easy to miss a particular fact in a search of the pages, and I must have missed it. This is of interest to me. Which :macm: manual was 60 degrees in, and what page. ...

Appreciate the input on the question of capsize angle.

Does anyone know if technical data exists what the capsize angle would be if the ballast was empty on either a 26M or 26x? This would be with the mast on, sails down.

Thanks, Ed
See #1, the manual says 60 degrees.

Re: Capsize Angle

I checked the CE regulation paper. No information about capsizing angle with ballast tank filled completely.
Why we do not have this information from Roger?

Re: Capsize Angle

I wonder why Roger did not say us the capsize angel with full ballast. Normally this is part of den product information.

Maybe I can find it in de CE paper...

Re: Capsize Angle

well, keel boats typically have a capsize angle 120 degrees.

I don't believe that a :macm: will be stronger.

Normally you say, any boat can capsize. It needs enough wind and waves...

Capsize Angle

Hello All
Do anybody know the capsize angle from an :macm: ?

I just found that without water ballast the capsize angle would be 60 degree.
Who has an information for the capsize angle with completely filled ballast tank?

Thanks...

Re: New trailer Rollers vs Bunks

the only roller I have mounted is behind the front V.

This really helped often. So the :macm: slips easily up and down the trailer.

For trailering I take away this roller. But not becouse of the :macm: but that the axle of the roller wont bend.

Re: My new bow camera - with night mode!

Cool.
What app do I use?

I have mounted some wifi cams, but powered ones.
Since I have new mobiles, I
cannot get the signal in the app.

So I am all time looking for a good and easy app to get signals from a wifi cam.

Re: Replacing my ballast gate valve

I don't know if this remote kit will last long on a Mac. Think about salt water, all time a year in the weather... So my wooden stick does the job for 10years now. It is connected to the original handle down and goes up over the helm seat. Also love my remote handle for the motor disconnect. I just ...

I connected the handle of the valve with a long wooden stick, so I can open/close from the helm seat.

Re: Marine spring band clips?

I don't know if it really makes sense to produce spring band clips with ss steal. Becouse it does not have the strength of the specialised spring steel.

Take the normal one, give some grease on to protect. And replace every 9 years...
