Back in the '70s and '80s there was a place near where I sailed in Newport Beach, CA that sold MacGregors. I'd drive by and see the low prices on the new boats and be tempted to buy one but ended up getting a racing catamaran, a NACRA 5.8. They had just started producing them. They were an exciting boat to sail but I had trouble getting anyone who wanted to come out sailing with me. I think if I'd gone the MacGregor or similar I would have had more takers.

We own a 2011 MacGregor 26M in South Carolina. PLEASE do a video on your transom step add-on. PLEASE! We need to see how it is attached to the boat, top side and underneath and what materials were used. We love our Mac, but we use it mostly at a huge man made lake (Lake Hartwell), which has a strange shore line that's not conducive to swimming. See: you go from shore to many feet deep in just a few yards. Seriously, you could make a mint just off of selling the plans to that transom step/swim platform. It's the only feature on the MacGregor 26X and 26M that's really lacking.

Great to see you out and thanks for sharing your favourite spot. Small question out of a lack of knowledge would rigging a small weather vain type sail aft of the deck help keep the boat pulling true to the anchor rather than going breeched to the wind and dragging?🤔 Have fun on your trip ... if you see one go take a look at a Silent Yatch... and ask them about their tech.😉😎 Cheap alternative to sailing gloves..and possibly better have a look at what they describe as tactical gloves from online markets.. 👍🏻. Crazy idea but I would be fascinated to see how a light wt boat like yours would perform under a large parra wing kite. Ideally it needs to be a two line steerable aerofoil chute on longer lines. The higher you can go the more stable the wind and easier it is to control the kite. BTW Basalt fiber and reinforcement in boats owes its origin to the need to find a non corroding replacement for steel reinforcements in Concrete structures..Spray.concrete Domes in particular.... as its a man formed natural rock derived material it has the advantage of being more chemically stable than steel...with similar mechanical properties. Plus it takes a lot to melt... take a look at the La Palma and Icelandic lava flows.😬. It is energy intensive to produce but so is glass, steel and Al from ore.

@barefootdoctorssailing85673 жыл бұрын
Hey Clive, thanks for all that info! Ketch rigged boats two masts with small one at stern) do what you are suggesting and that is good when anchored with single bow anchor but if you are beaching your would not use a sail - too much force if the wind direction changes. We have seen the Silent yacht promos - very interesting but more a power boat with downwind sail assistance only. Thanks for the basalt info and your support!!!
@clivestainlesssteelwomble76653 жыл бұрын
@@barefootdoctorssailing8567 I was thinking something triangular the size of bath towel literally act as a weather vane to move a floating stern round at anchor. Sailing Wildings have a elderly ketch rigged Commanche Cat they are getting to grips with. As for steerable parra kite sailing they can work up to a 100deg off from the wind from what i gather.. The main limit seems to be in conditions where the wind drops suddenly and repeatedly. As for the Silent yatch i was thinking more about its potential hybrid propulsion mode system. It looks like more builders of all types are looking at Electric Diesel hybrid propulsion systems.

It is really simple - there is a lever to open on the stern and an air vent/ bung forward under rate bow V berth to open to allow the air to come in. When water starts coming through the bung hole, close it it off and then close the stern lever. Very simple.

This was like watching an alien documentary from another planet. Divided by a common language. It wasn't until 12:54 (video timecode) where you *_finally_* say where in the heck this was shot. The previous video from you guys had you in Florida (I think), but searching map databases for the island names turned up nothing obviously correct. You even had a half second (0.5) of capturing your GPS's display but thathad no useful clues. Then you guys babble a bit in Aussie lingo and mention what turned out to be names of beach or camping food. Of course it was presented several minutes _before_ being defined. Even the video title had me expecting obscure measurement units (like milli furlongs).

Sorry about that Wally John left it out this time, I agree should be in to show where we are. We are still in Aus that was Brampton Island Queensland . Just off Mackay and the Whitsunday islands. The 26M reference is the model of the Macgregor boat relating to it being 26 foot and the M version has higher decks to make the internal space bigger. Certainly that was for the Macgregor sailors who would know and care about it but before we bought one, we did not know the models either...
