Re: Secondhand prices in the UK

Gary it all really depends on how the boat is fitted out as standard Mac's are pretty sparce. Owners usally fit Lazy jacks, reefing kits, boom vangs, radios, chart plotters, self steering gear, the list goes on and on. The sails can be a factor as well, jib or genoa, spinnaker fitted. Work around th...

Re: Water Ballast

I also have a :macm: and have left her out on a mooring all the summer with the ballast tanks full and like people have said it is very important to keep them full, equally like you point out it is also important to check every time you board the tank has remained full.

Re: The boat on its side in the Solent

I have posted a notice on the UK's site asking if anyone can enlighte...

Re: Jib Sail Cover

Russ, That sounds good to me mate let me know how much you want for it with the cost of the shipping. Perhaps we should communicate directly instead of splashing all over this forum.

Re: Jib Sail Cover

Hey if you manage to get the UV strip your after, sell me the zipper cover. I've been after one of those for ages and can't get one the correct size. I'm in the UK but more than willing to pay all postage/shipping costs.

Best Regards,
Phil Hammond 26M

Mainsail roller reefing.

Hi Guys just bought a :macm: and I'm interested in the mainsail reefing system by Inmon Yachts. Is it supplied to the United Kingdom? If so who is the agent? Does it consist of only a new boom or is a new mainsail required as well? What's the cost involved? Reading the articles posted there is a wea...
