Re: Buying a 1989 26D

Congratulations! Great looking trailer and boat! It must feel good to get her home! How was the trip? How did it handle while towing? We, like other owners, use an over wrap strap like you do.

Re: Electrical short

Just a suggestion…. When we improved our electrical system on Over Easy we ditched the barrel and plug fuses and went to manual resettable circuit breakers.

Re: Practical Sailor Article

Hi All! The article mentions commingled terms relating to “cracks” somehow conflating ‘gelcoat cracks’ and ‘stress cracks’ as if they are the same thing…. They are not. It’s funny folks griping about ‘thin’ fiberglass and ‘stress’ cracks…. Have they ever looked closely at a similar vintage Boston Wh...

Re: Why didnt I know this 10 years ago??

Hi Sunshinecoasting! Hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season! Smell. That’s how many bird species start looking for these transient places. I believe that as basins like these dry up their salinity increases and the microbial life there have developed the ability to go into a form of dehydrated stas...

Re: Just in time for Christmas

We needed AI for just what exactly?… And just what are self driving cars & taxis going to be of benefit to? Like regular taxis, Uber & Lyft aren’t convenient enough? So aside from robotics and automation removing more and more “human” jobs that feed and house normal people and now plan on re...

Re: MacGregor 26M trailer specs question

Hi Phil_Tijeras, Getting a trailer and boat mated to each other can be a challenge and from experience might take a couple tries. The OEM MacGregor trailer is somewhat unique compared to other typical trailers as you are well aware. (Which for the life of me I can’t figure out why someone would stea...

Re: Curtains in time for Christmas heat

The suction cup mountings are a great solution to the getting/keeping them in place!

The edge wrap makes for a nice finished look too!
