Re: Relocate head compartment
I think its a bit of a case of "you want what you dont have" with the 26x/m... there are times i wished I had the salon layout of the M and I love the lower set of windows in the M for viewing out. But i do love my X big 4 person table.I think all X and M users that have ever tried to use ...

Re: Any downside with going to the optional larger, 5/32" headstay.
Good question... i bought my X used and never removed my forestay from furler to inspect it completely. I decided when I upgraded to go w the thicker rigging as its one of the few single points of failure that could quickly injure people in the cockpit. Turns out my original forestay was in perfect...

Re: 2007 26M Forestay & CDI-FF2 Furler Adjustments
Ĺot to respond but #7/8 - do NOT get on or under that boat without blocking up the back of the trailer w cinder block or stack 2x6. When the boat is off the bow roller even slightly the center of gravity can cause it to tilt back the trailer. Could be a dangerous situation.

Re: Buying a 1989 26D
Good luck on that boat. The warping could be a sign of more damage than whats easily visible. Unless the price is right and youre real handy w a surplus of time you might wanna keep scanning the used macgregor market-- theres a bunch of boat turnover. The 26D is sharp and a fast boat!
