How many times will you have to step the mast on the great loop?

Great show!
My favorite was the Beneteau Oceanis 37
Too bad there was no MacGregor presence.

I'm driving to Chicago this afternoon, will be at the show tomorrow

Well, I haven't heard anything yet about what the problem was and how it was resolved. I thought I found a person on Facebook that was associated with the boat, but never got a reply.

Does anyone know whatever happened with this particular problem?
I'm very curious what the solution was.

I had the same problem w/my CDI furler, but never figured it out.
Of course, I haven't looked at it yet.... :>)

I just used some motor oil on the exposed end of the shaft tempraraily and worked it back and forth. I'm not sure what is recommended but likely a heavier grease.

Did you ever figure out the Steering issue? My steering was pretty well locked up when I took my 26x out for the first time. I had to disengage the linkage while out on the water and steer the rudder with my feet. It turned out just to need some lubrication. I didn't double check it before I shoved ...

Yeah, I couldn't believe the price. I *had* to buy it.
The boat is at Senecaville, Ohio. Seneca Lake.

It's a small lake, but not too small. Maybe the 2nd or 3rd largest inland lake in Ohio. A good place to learn.
How long have you had your x?

Thanks!

The other picture shows the ramp with a concrete walkway 'dock'. No cleats on it, and nowhere to tie off the boat.
