I am following that thread with great interest. I was just about ready to get a new 150% genoa with a sock.....Why? 4 years ago I bought the factory 150% genoa with a sewn in UV - cover ; it handles and looks great but after 3 years the problems started. Oviously the sail stretches, the Uv cover did...

I use GG extensively for my other hobby - model flying airplanes. There are 2 different ones - the yellow one (which will turn even more yellow over time) is a slow cure and then there is the white one which cures pretty quick. Normally I do not add water at all - there is enough moisture in the atm...

With the factory installed mast raising system its absolutely safe and no problem to raise / lower the mast on the water. Although my boat ( now a M, before that I had a X for 10 years) is stored on a lift, every time I go out I have to go underneath a bridge and I have to lower and raise the mast c...

[quote="jschrade"]Blue Water Yachts sells a nice solution that covers the slot and it works perfectly.

Jim, please help me: where do I find it on BWY's webpage?
Hans

One thing is certain, X owners will push the X, M owners will push the M.

Not really true: I had a 26 x, and I loved it. But when I saw the M I was hooked, sold the x and I am even more happy with my 2008 M now!:)

When I bought my first Macgregor 26x in 2000 - it was a 2001 model- the base price was 16500$, and that included both sails.......
Hans

thanks, Gary! The original part, no bending nec and cheaper then WM

Thank you for the info, that would be an option. However, I would rather have the original part, and it was mentioned earlier in this thread that Bwy has it. Its a bit dissappointing that BWY do not reply to 3 emails, I only get the automatic reply "your message has been read".
Hans

Does anyone have the Part# and price for amasthound (26M)? I emailed BWY, but so far they did not reply and I can't find it in their online catalog!
Thanks Hans

Same here - I bought my M 2008 from John as well. I don't know about his Tampa Location, mine came from Nebraska too. Gary and his wife drove it down to Naples and rigged it in my front yard. Very pleasant experience, no problems at all, very good service and great price including delivery! www.supe...

I am in the same boat, looking for a roller reefing main. Anybody with experience and info where to buy? Are there different options available? Is it possible to lower the mast with a roller reef attached to the mast like with the standard main on an M?
Hans

Please - post your system, right now I am hunting for the best solution!
Thanks in advance Hans

Call John at supersail.com
I got my M from him with the suzuki 70 installed and delivered to me to Fl. The whole transaction was smooth and a pleasant experience, I would buy from him again....
Hans

like beene......
I believe the Suzuki 70 was a perfect choice, in my opinion the wedges are a must be. Lightly laded (3 normal persons no ballast I can reach22mph and feel absolutely safe. Waterskiing and wakeboarding with that setup no problem.
Hans

Thanks, working now.....There are 2 different sets of charts, the raster one workek. Still very unfamiliar with the program, but it looks great!
