I have a Mac 26 :macx: , but I also have several antique cars, too, so naturally I've got a lot of batteries. Not all of my cars get driven as often as they should, so the batteries would go dead all the time... end result wat that I was seemingly always replacing batteries in one or the other of th...

That's just the sort of info I was looking for! I got my 26 about a month ago and I'm doing a lot of things on it. In particular I need to get one of the mast-raising kits, so I figure the real Mac bits are probably the way to go with at least that item. Thoughts?

Cheers,
Kevin

OK, I know this is probably a loaded question and subject to much debate... however I'm new to the Mac world and I have to buy some factory bits for mine. Not knowing the 'good' from the 'bad' guys, I thought I'd post this and see what you all think. Who do you buy your MacBits from and why? Who has...

Yes, Hammerite is wonderful stuff. We used to use it for the restoration of historic automobile parts when I lived in the UK... the stuff is virtually impervious to water and hence rust. And it's tough as a pig's snout, too. If you can't power coat it, use Hammerite. You can't go wrong! I noticed re...

When I got my 26 :macx: it didn't have the original stove - it was long since replaced by a fridge and a formica countertop.

Looks interesting... stack temp is around 250 degrees, so you can vent it with plastic. Hmm...

I am considering using a 2004 Toyota Sienna to tow my 26 :macx: ... the car is rated for towing 3500 lbs... I know that's cutting it a bit thin for a Mac, but I'm kinda stuck. However, if I use a weight distributing hitch I believe I can lessen the load on the back of the Sienna and give the trailer...

We'll definitely skip the original Mac cushions then, and perhaps my 1st Mate can make some up for the inside... she's pretty good with a sewing machine and has made pillows lots of times before. As for the cockpit we'll probably just do some shopping at our local West Marine!

OK, I'm a newbie here... just bought my first Mac 26 :macx: and we're really looking forward to lots of family fun. However, mine came with no cockpit cushions (bottoms or backs) and we may be considering replacing the interior cushions as well. I see the ones from BottomSiders, but at $554 for the ...
