Free 26D - Please come and take it

No one has taken my free boat yet! I abandoned my MacGregor 26D sailboat 60 days ago. Its still floating in its slip at 120 53rd street, Ocean City, MD 21842. Between two candy kitchen stores. The only sailboat there. Its in good condition, it floats and the motor runs good. Has a mast and sails. I ...

Re: What should I do?

New update. This story hasn't ended. Had a call a few days ago from police saying I had to move my boat from a private property. I told them I had sold it and it wasn't mine anymore (or is it until buyer registers it?). I gave the police buyers name and phone number. Yesterday, sometime, the 'buyer'...

What should I do?

I gave away my 26D for $1 since i am getting too old for sailing and going to loose its slip and didn't want the bother of moving it. Buyer said he will move the boat asap. I gave the buyer the title. its been three weeks of good weather and the buyer doesn't seem to have any intention of moving the...

Re: Rain leaks

Had a lot of rain lately but no leaks so far after using the foam sealant. Maybe the rain is filling a cavity under the sliders. Maybe the cavity will fill up completely with rain water and not allow any more rain to come in. That would be great. When I originally pulled out the nut plug I had about...

Re: Rain leaks

Follow up for anyone interested:
The rain was dripping from the nut access holes on the underside of the slider. The white round plastic hole plugs must have shrunk. I pulled the plug out and filled it with foam sealant. Don't know where the rain comes from or goes to now but no more drips.

Re: Trailer dimensions for 26D or S?

Where is the weight center of gravity on the 26D? Is that at the mast? On most trailers I have seen the trailer axel is about at the cabin bulkhead (companionway).

Re: mold-mildew

How do I keep the boat ventilated in a slip without 110v and without rain or squatters getting in? Any rain and squatter proof ventilation hatch covers? A loose tarp over the whole boat with both for and aft open? I tried that over winter and it worked but it's a pain to cover and remove for everyda...

Trailer dimensions for 26D or S?

Anyone got a drawing or sketch with any dimensions for a 26 classic trailer? I want to modify a trailer I got cheap to fit my 26D.
