Agree... same with lathe bits. It's all much like hitting yourself on the head with a hammer........ it feels so good when you stop.

Re: Just in time for Christmas

Well somebody is really good with Photoshop. Probably just AI-generated, Ray. It’s rampant… for example, I’m seeing tons of AI-generated car “photos” on FB pages, where it’s very clear to anyone who knows cars that the photos are just wrong…. Too many details are blatantly incorrect. Of course, the...

Re: Just in time for Christmas

It’s a joke from the Mac Facebook page. Cute.

My comment against it was “Go directly to SeaTow. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.)

No, they only got the 26. That being said, I had thought Roger was finished completely with yacht manufacture.

Re: Macgregor Yacht corporation

I don’t get in contact with Roger very often. He’s kind of a private guy, and since transferring the business to his daughter, I get the feeling he’s largely put it behind him. Hence my hesitation to contact him.

Re: Macgregor Yacht corporation

Does anyone know (and yes I'm looking at you Kevin) how to contact Roger Macgregor or someone that may still exist in his executive team? Their web site is long gone, this relates to manufacture of parts for his boats (after market and replacement). Thanks in advance. Dennis. Yes, I am able to cont...

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

I’ll see what I can do in terms of reserving a larger place. The issue with reserving a larger place however, is that we may not be able to sit at the same table. As a result, I think I may have to put something together where we all shift seats halfway through the event so that we get to know each ...

OK, folks - we're fully subscribed and can take no more attendees. If you do want to attend, however, you can still submit an RSVP and I'll put you on the wait list in case someone decides to withdraw. I'm looking forward to see all who replied!

Cheers,

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

Yeah, Russ, the odds of having snow here at that time of year are nil. If it snows at all, it usually comes in February or March. And if you do come, we’d be glad you put up at our place. We’ve got plenty of room, and it would be great to see you.
