Awesome Hugh!Hugh wrote:Mantus 25# anchor. And a Spinnaker.....
... but we're gonna need more details about the spinnaker - color? size? photos? etc, ... details, we need details
(sorry, it's the spinnaker-holic in me talkin' out loud, obviously the downwind group therapy class is not working)

Re: What did Santa bring your Mac?
Good info & reminders guys. I haven't even taken this thing out the box yet. No prob with registering. Weather has been crappy but at least NY hasn't been hammered like the middle States.

Re: What did Santa bring your Mac?
... I forgot to mention I also got this little book; "Rich Johnson's Guide to Trailer Boat Sailing".
Some good info for new Mac owners, and a few reminders for experienced ones.
Although I already have many "Trailer Sailing" books, this one has its own appeal because it's written by a Mac
owner and his wife from around our Salish Sea sailing grounds. (Northwest Washington / Southwest B.C.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salish_Sea

That's a good book. I have it and it does come from the experience of a Mac owner. Some funny stuff in there too.

Got an Adventure Medical Marine 1000 kit. (no first aid kit is ever good enough for an active duty Paramedic, but this one is decent) And the promise of a Raymarine EV-100 Tiller Pilot so that I have something to tinker with over the winter.

Re: What did Santa bring your Mac?
Davis Rudder Position Indicator... https://www.whitworths.com.au/main_item ... lutePage=1
RF1032 Captive Pin Halyard Shackle 3/16
Two Life Ring Holders ... which I'm using to hold the aft mooring ropes off the sides.
Also got a few lines like "I didn't know you were into sailing" .... But the Mac's parked outside lol!!
All the best.

Re: What did Santa bring your Mac?
Ruddersafe outboard steering aid (hopefully useful when it's so shallow that even the rudders have to stay up)
8 kg Kobra anchor
Bow roller for the above anchor
A new bi-color LED light (because the roller will render the current unit even more useless than it already was)
A marine toilet
2 40 Wp solar panels
MPPT solar charge controller
You, Santa's been generous. But he also plundered my bank account...
