My boat works best when furled to 100-110 to run the sheets to the blocks on top of the cabin usually in the foremost position. That is how my boat points best. The only time I unfurl the jib more than 110% is when I know I'm going to be on a long run.

On my 2000 X I used to unfurl my foresail all the way out to 150 when pointing and had to fight it to keep it from rounding up. I was out sailing with an extremely smart experienced sailor friend one day and he started playing my Jib. What we found out was that when pointing, MY boat likes the Jib f...

I'd be interested.

I was going to Squaw to ski last Sunday and saw a M heading to Tahoe

I haven't done it but I have friends who rent a buoy at Camp Rich. In the evenings the tie up to the dock and sleep at the dock.
Emerald bay has some boat camping mornings that you can rent thru the park service.
I'm interested as well as I want to spend a few nights out on LT

Oppps I was just searching the phone number. Come on now same boat give or take 7 feet LOL

Download and check the Go Sailing App. People list ads for crew needed. I have never seen any Mac's on there but lots of other great boats for the Bay. Most are free or a small cost share.

Same boat a few more pictures looks like it's in nice shape. If I wasn't on the opposite side of the country I'd go check it out for that price.

On my 26x I leave my boom and main attached when trailering. Good to know. I've never tried it, but it would save a fair bit of time, as I store it below, and that takes time to bring up and reattach. Just one more step that I might be able to eliminate, and every step takes time. :) With luck, I m...

Great movie Inspired by real events surrounding Americans loss to Australia in the America's cup and their fight to regain the cup.

I've had my :macx: for a year now. I've only been sailing for 2 years and am still very much new to this. I read all the trade offs of having a motor sailor before buying the boat. Mostly of the lack of ability of the X to point to the wind and the excessive heeling of the X. My first 5 trips out I ...

Although it doesn't sound like you are looking for a high dollar performance replacement.

I've never owned a boat or sailed anything until July of 2015. After more classes and experience I would like to pla...
