Pround Mac26X owner again
Well, I did it. I'm now the proud re-owner of a Mac 26X and a fine one
she is if I must say so myself. I got her at a real bargain basement price, yes siree! Before I launch her for the first time I've got a couple things I want to do. First is to rename her. I don't like the present name at all. I'm torn between a couple of different names. 1) Symbiosis (comment on how well sail and power are built into one boat) 2) Sea's Son (double entendre) 3) Sensibility (descriptive) 4) Plaid Power (rather Scottish a compliment on MacGregor, I guess he's Scottish) What one do you think is best? Cheers, Ed Gordon |

Cheers, Ed Gordon Congratulations Mr. Gordon. I'd go with Sea's Son. How about some pictures? What do you have to do to her to get her back into shape? Probably normal maintainance stuff like any used boat. Lines, some blocks and maybe sails if she's an older boat? Mark E. Williams |

The Dumpster. The ****can. The Toilet. Ed, Ignore the negative hyperbole some will attack you with. The Mac serves it's niche well but some can't understand that just because a boat isn't a good fit for them, it can be a great boat for someone else. That being said, if you'll permit, I'll offer a bit of advice. Take baby steps. Extend your range and the conditions you expose yourself too just a little bit at a time. Before long, you'll be amazed at what you are doing. I've owned a variety of boats over the years, including a Mac (though not the 26X). The Mac really isn't all boats to all people. There are things it is just not designed or constructed to do. For instance, just because it may be possible to cross an ocean with the Mac, doesn't mean that it's a good idea. You can, however have a heck of a lot of fun with it. Dan Best S/V Tricia Jean, Tayana 37 #192 |
