Mac 26S a superb boat, as bobsprit would say.
Actually it works quite well on the smaller inland lakes.

OK Ok.. I will be first.

DP (old name = d parker) here... too much to do these days and haven't got
time to play here usually. Hi to all the older members of the group. I
remember the old Putzsail days well. I even made it to Putz status "back
in the day". I sail all sorts of boats. But not enough lately. I have
wound down my sailing school and delivery business due to other business
commitments. Still sailing the RL24 when the time allows. Sold the RL28
some time ago.


Facts... go read this. http://www.angelfire.com/ca6/uselessfacts/ the
site has 2945 facts. So I get a 2945 points. Right?

Oh btw, what can I do with the points -get free airfare to Pitcairn Island
or something?

Thanks to Bob Crantz for reminding me.

LURKER Check-In !!!

For those of you lurking out there. This is the
annual Lurker Check-in.

Lurkers are those that read posts but do not post
responses or start threads.

You don't have to post anything intelligent, just
your handle and location, include boat name,
type and model, if you have one.

This is your big chance to get easy points.

If you don't check in, nothing bad will happen to you,
you will just remain POINTLESS!

1 point award per fact you provide.

Those of you that have posted and do not have any
points at all, or you are not sure if you have any points,
you can check in now for free alt.sailing.asa newgroups
points.

I'll start by awarding Michael May 20 points for
his recent introduction.

Pretty Lame there. Worth 3 points. More detail needed.
What is the name of the boat. Why do you think it is a
superb boat? Are you on drugs?

Actually the Mac 26 _S_ was a pretty good boat. You're
probably think of the _X_ model PowR-Sail-R.

I liked the daggerboard model better, but the main flaw of
the centerboard version was that the pennant was cleated
down inside the cabin, and the hatches were too flimsy to
step on. Plus they're a little on the tender side, but
they're sure not the only boat with that minor flaw.
Besides, some folks think heeling 'way over is fun.

Glad to hear you're still alive.

Good to hear from you again!

Weren't you running a bar or managing a band or something
like that?

.... Still sailing the RL24 when the time allows. Sold the RL28 some

The RL24 is a cool boat. Did you ever get a bigger & go back
to race again?


Facts... go read this. http://www.angelfire.com/ca6/uselessfacts/ the

I'll give you points for the facts about the invention of
ice tea in 1904, but that's only partially related to
sailing.


Oh btw, what can I do with the points -get free airfare to Pitcairn Island
or something?


Airfare!! You're supposed sail there! And what would you do
on Pitcairn?

Hi Dave and Group, Ladysailor and I (used to use mfulmor as a handle)
are currently living on our boat and cruising the Mexican Riviera for
the third season. We head north to Oregon in the summer (hurricane)
months and leave the boat down here. Two days ago Ladysailor finally
agreed to sail across the Pacific so next year perhaps we´ll be in
your neighborhood. I´d like to go this year but my daughter is
getting married in June, right when we´d be leaving, and there are
still a couple of tweaks I´d like to do to the boat before getting too
far away from home.
We still lurk a bit when we have wifi on the boat, but not too much.
Fair Winds,
Mike

Hey Mike! Glad to here things are going well!

If you get up this way again, let us know.

You bettcha, Jon, we´ll be passing through about the end of May, first
of June. Maybe we can get out on the bay for a sail?

We can sure give it a try. I might be in England, but I'm not sure if that's
going to April or May at this point.
