I swear.... this isn't me!

Interesting. They don't mention the power used by the compressor to fill those enormous sails, though... I imagine that's substantial.

The bill of materials used to manufacture Mac 26X boats specifies H834 resin, which is a polyester resin designed specifically for boats.

Yeah, I think the whole water pump impeller changing is overdone. I watch the pump stream… if it still has a good flow, there’s no reason to service it. I’ve had them last 5 years or more. That being said, I use my boat only in clear lake water, so it doesn’t suffer corrosion or rubbish.

We really should develop a whole line of merch. Just saw this today…

Indeed, it’s critically important. Thanks!

I'm going to put this in the RESOURCES page. It's good info. Russ, if you're going to post it to our resources area, I'd like to offer the following corrected list. I believe this to be more accurate and complete for a 26X. Main Halyard 5/16" x 66' Main Sheet 3/8" x 31' Main Downhaul 3/8&...

Well, I suppose it's possible, but it's going to deform as you tighten the screws, and whenever there's a significant load on it. If it were me, I'd shape an aluminum block to fit the inside of the boat, with a flat back, and then drill it to suit... then use stainless washers and nyloc nuts.

Actually, I have no life, and no other actual purpose, so…

No idea! Contact the seller?

Don't know the owner, so the usual 'buyer beware' situation applies. Looks like he's selling a mast *and* a boom, with rigging and custom cap. Also looks like the interior wiring has been modified, with non-marine wiring and plug. Price is $499, but it also has 'best offer' turned on, so you've got ...

This has been asked several times here on the forum, but here's a quick list from one of those posts : Running Rigging Lengths / Sizes Mast Raising system 3/8" x 48' White Jib Halyard 5/16" x 48' White (Single sheet doubled) Main Halyard 5/16" x 66' White/ Green stripe Main Downhaul 3...

I am not familiar with intricacies of the :macx: For clarity, do you have the boom still attached to the mast while the mast is lowered? Nope. It gets detached before dropping the mast - that's what the factory manual recommends. I always detach mine, because I'm always doing it for storage at the ...

I would not raise it while on the ramp. - other folks may be waiting to use the ramp and you’ll unnecessarily delay them - you’ll be tempted to rush the job and may make an error that could cause damage or injury - doing it on the ramp will actually be more difficult, since the boat is leaning aft… ...
