Re: YouTube channel delete

Keep the channel archived. It has value.

Agreed about youtube ads are excessive. I broke down and bought Youtube Premium because I watch more vlogs than anything else.

Re: Return to Elliott’s

Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously. You have some great sailing areas although the bugs don't sound nice.
-10F here yesterday. New Orleans is forecast 5" of snow.

Now post some pictures so we can really enjoy.

Re: The Admiral Wants Heat

That's looking nice and professional. Reminds me of those AC units on top of RVs.

I have a feeling you are going to be nice and toasty in there.

Re: 2025 Mid-Atlantic MacGregor Mid-Winter "Gathering of the Faithful"

How very awesome to see. Wish I could be there. Maybe next year. Yesterday we celebrated the life of my mother-in-law who left this earth on December 28th.

This site and the Mac community have been such a blessing. I just wish it were not 8F degrees and my boat was floating.

Re: Great short on importance of center of mass when towing

Great illustration. I try to load as much weight forward as possible. When I added the second axle I wish I moved it a tad further back instead of center the original.

Re: The Admiral Wants Heat

Anchor hatch... eh...I'm assuming you can move the heater top back a bit for that. Nope. Going to have to trim a little off of the front. Not too bad of a hit. Good practice. Well, I wish I could I've never done something like that. :? Still looks cool. I like the shape. So how are you going to fin...

Re: The Admiral Wants Heat

Very interesting. So are you keeping the fuel as part of the kit? It's a diesel heater correct?

Re: Buying a 1989 26D

Congrats.

My mast does the wiggle when hitting bumps. I have learned to secure it tight in several places to it doesn't move side to side. Still wobbles.

Now the fun begins. Some photos would be nice. That is one of the best boats Roger built. Can't wait to hear your journey.

Smart to let it "marinate". I find time is my best editor.

Looks good so far. Can't wait to see the complete project.

Re: advice on selling my Achilles dinghy

How does money change hands in marketplace and craigslist? My last experience with selling stuff was with classified ads and/or auto trader. We either did a cash deal at my house, or went to the buyers bank, and I cashed his check while he stood there. What is ebay? And is that an option? Are you a...
