Thanks in anticipation

Also be aware of those Macs that have been sailed in freshwater lakes in the US will need to be passed by Dept Ag in OZ. This is due to the risk of importing weed, shellfish etc in the ballast tank.

Put my new 05 M into the water this weekend. Steered like a dog in the marina, so decided to put the rudders down and drop the daggerboard by 25% for more control. Neither rudder will drop and notice there are 2 bolts in each rudder, so will never pivot, refer to owners manual, only one pivot bolt s...
