I have been looking around for some inside storage now that the weather is mild again. I have found a place that may be suitable for next year, when the owner levels off the entry. The current entry slope is too steep over a short distance and I am sure the trailer will bring up on the dip just befo...

I put a lot of trust in the use of gps and compass after an incident when we were in an open speedboat and had over a mile to get back to a cabin after goose hunting. The fog bank rolled in very quickly and visibility was down to about 100 foot. On the outward trip, we had to thread our way between...

Sage advice, I have already found from past experience that a wet deck is a difficult place to tread unless wearing proper deck shoes. Ice and snow would only compound the problem. I have a fairly large push broom I can use. However, I decided to try and find one of these large floor squeegees that ...

My present PFD's are the regular Wal-Mart universal fit models. I find them too restrictive especially for the original purpose I bought them for, that being canoeing. I went to my local outfitters and was blown away by the price they are charging for kayak PFD's However, I saw a couple of vests in ...

Well, moving south would be my best bet.Unfortunately, I can't. I did try a 30x15 tarp. Problem with the tarp up here is that the weather can fluctuate so much in winter with conditions going from rain to freezing and back to mild again in a matter of days. Rain tended to pool as the tarp sagged. T...

I bought my Mac 26X in the US and trailered it back. Saved considerably on canadian prices even after paying taxes, gas, accomodation etc. There is no import duty on MacGregors as they are made in US. If you want to import this is a good web-site for all the information needed in order to import. ht...

It ain't broke, so why fix it. It has lovely lines. I suspect that they even used the 26X as the model for the Maltese Falcon

Winter storage
This is my first winter with my Mac 26X. I am storing it outdoors in Atlantic Canada and we tend to have moderate amounts of snow. What I propose doing is to cover the sliding hatch with a small tarpaulin and keep the boat cleared of snow after each snow fall. The outboard has been winterized. Is th...
