Trailer sailors sure do have their advantages. The best part
was having the boat here at home, safe and convenient for
maintenance stuff. I took my Mac to a few lakes, but after
sailing the bay I never went anywhere else but. It just
got too small for me.
We had a great ride on the 6th, after Ephrata. back roads
down though MD. They paved a few roads around here this
Summer, Sweet! nothing like a newly paved, curvy back road.
Plus I put some new sport tires on.

Patches? Your bike doesn't have tubes.....does it?

Scotty,
If I get something I can trailer easily but big enough to
spend a week or so
on, I can do both the Chesapeake and Jersey Shore, they
are close enough to
being equidistant from my home. The only thing I'm sure of
is that I'll have
another boat. It might be something with a beam of more
than 8', and if so,
it'll be in a slip in the Ches area.
Believe it or not we're still unpacking boxes from the
move last summer.
It's been a wild ride, between that, and the other things
going on here,
which you know about.
I still have the bike though, and actually I've fallen in
love with it again
since moving out here. Every road has a New Hope feel to
it. The ride to
work is awesome with lots of twisting, hilly roads to keep
it exciting.
Beats the heck out of the PA turnpike! We should hook up
for a ride or a
beer or both before the summer is over. I ride out your
way all the time
now, it's a beautiful area. I road to Lancaster a few
times this summer. Got
a punctured read tire but made it home with air to spare.
Next time I'll
remember to put the patch kit in my saddle bag.

What happened Scout, I thought you were going to get a
*real* sailboat and move to the Ches. Bay?

Does anyone have any actual experience with the Mac 26M?

In my unending search for the right boat, this boat
appears
to have many features of interest. I understand that the
sailing performance is compromised to gain in other
areas,
but if speed is not my thing, why should I care?

If the 26M is a poor boat, that what trailerable boat in
that size range (abt 25') can do better?
