Re: MacGregor 25 shower

I've thought about how I would shower on my 23', and the conclusion I came to was either sponge bath or tarp up the stern of my deck and use a hand pumped pressure sprayer. Wish I had more to offer you here. I'm always on the wrong side of ridiculous :D So, don't let me discourage you. Btw, saw the ...

Re: MacGregor is at it again!

Sorry... Catigale and I just having a (admittedly very sick) joke about Aloha Airlines flight 243, wherein the top of the aircraft peeled back like a sardine can whilst in flight.
No need to apologize, I didn't even recall flight 243. I was just trying to figure out what the patent was :D

Re: Daydreaming about sailing long distances

Tell us how you make your living online and I'll tell you how to do this. This is mostly my day dream as well, lol. Right now I am making about $50 a week doing surveys, I'm hoping I can make another $100 doing data entry.. and possibly get a part time job from home taking calls. I just started out...

Re: Daydreaming about sailing long distances

Zone, our first sailboat was a mac22 and we spent 2 weeks doing the Florida Keys. We put the boat in at Key Largo and sailed down the ICW to Key West. Yes we hit rain and got drenched both inside the boat and out :cry: :o. Yes we drug anchor but we were the only ones in the area between two islands...

Re: Daydreaming about sailing long distances

Thank you all for your responses, I'm a bit paranoid now though. My boat should be able to handle a bit of coastal day sailing in the gulf of Mexico, say about 50 miles north of Tampa, right? I was sort of looking forward to sailing a week or so solo, just exploring a bit of our coast and a bit of a...

Re: Daydreaming about sailing long distances

Mutiny? Bah, I'm bigger than them all. I'll just lock em up in the cabin with a portable DVD player and Cheetos. 30 days is a long time though, I'll probably postpone this for 14 years after both kids have graduated. We always have the keys though, perhaps with any luck we will be out exploring them...

Daydreaming about sailing long distances

Hey Macgregor sailors, it has been a while since I have written on here. I've been doing a lot of day dreaming lately, about sailing and was curious. How long do you think it would take to sail a small sailboat like mine from say, Daytona Florida to southern Maine. I have a VN23, that is still being...

No boat bucks for the next 2 years thanks to Gods latest temper tamp trine.

Re: Possibly buying a Mac 25 and looking for some advice

I really wish the prices of the 26c were as low as the 25 because then I wouldn't have to worry so much about . If your willing to wait and keep watching CraigsList.org, you will eventually find a 26C at the same low prices as your 25. I bought a Florida 26D last year for $800 Nice find :o I looked...

Re: Possibly buying a Mac 25 and looking for some advice

Just got the book Fix it Sail it, it is a good read so far. I also have some good news about the rudder, it is not as bad as I had thought it was. After digging a little bit more of the rotted wood out, I found that the portion that was rotten was actually just a small piece of wood. Under it, was a...
