Its pretty difficult to find significant ways to optimize the interior space of the 26x and 26m. I think roger and his team had plenty of data from 26s,d and 19 for how they would configure things. Ive never been in an M but sometime Id like to compare it to my X. I could use another inch of headroo...

Thats how Roger shouldve made them!! Love the deep sink and gimbaled stove. Beautiful craftsmanship. When do u open for orders?

Frustrating but it worked out all things considered. My boat is ex-salt water and I had a similar issue with corrosion on my teleflex steering cable requiring 2 hands to turn the wheel over. Reminded me of pre power steering but even worse. Got the cable replaced and amazing difference. Good luck so...

Ive used mine in up to 20-25 gusts and never had an issue. Unsure what theyre truely rated for.. in fact Ive never used my winches for my jib or genoa sheets. If youre a fair weather sailor i bet theyre all youll need. Id make sure your track is ingood shape and secured well.

Just to pile on… Splash it. Fill the ballast tank. Motor to your slip (works fine - just don’t trip in all of the standing and running rigging). Once you’re secured in the slip, raise the mast. Don’t try to raise the mast when the boat is not close to level, particularly side-to-side. Buy some spar...

I dont know but I bookmarked these guys and would reach out if i was going to do that crossing. https://www.mwxc.com/ Https://www.mwxc.com/chris_parker.php I think there is an online listing to group up w ppl :-- check facebook i believe. Also i dont think i answered your question but Im curious also.

:D :D 8) 8) Everything was meant to be very tongue in cheek. That article made its way around the net ~2019 and was used for fear mongering that Lake Erie...with no surrounding ice to melt...was going to inundate its islands.... What a shame the owner passed its a good informative web site Put In Ba...

@starscream: I didnt get a picture but the glassed in area seemed to have a CPVC type 1inch OD pipe in place for about 3 inches glassed to the hull. I just wiped it off snd reapplied the clesr pvc pipe w a clamp. I dont know what the original was like-assuming mine was modded by PO. Overeasy: I had ...

Had slow drainage from my motor well since I purchased the boat. Unsure If drain was original? I found a bunch of wadded up thin film plastic jammed into the angle fittings. I Replaced all piping/tubing Supplies Two 1-inch PVC 90deg barbed fittings. Clear PVC Tubing inner diam 1-inch: 13in clear PVC...

Pull a 200ft floating line w handholds tied to your mainsheet. If u go over grab it to disengage the main.

Fair article to the 26M and brand -- but doesnt talk about how the 26X was zenith of the Macgregor Yachts. Hopefully they do a followup addressing that.

Very fine looking job. Now we wait for the sea trials!

Ambitious list! Id like to put another bottom coat on. Need to redo my motor well drain plumbing too...otherwise my goal in 2025 is to SAIL MORE!!!!
