Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Thanks for replying me. Actually I am waiting to check it as soon as the license of the boat is on my name I will update you. Maybe another question: Can you suggest me a rigging hose adapter that will fit for the boat? I dont like how the mechanic fixed this :( Thank you in advance https://i.postim...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Hi everyone, Wanted to give you a little update about my detailing :) I am sending you some pictures after using the Meguiars Oxidation Remover. This product worked really great.

Re: Swim & Fisher platform

Hi Ixi Sailing Team, Thank you for your question. I am still in the process to get the license for the boat. The thing is that because it is a fixed platform I would have to adjust the license of the boat here in Greece and the boat will get longer, which would mean even more expenses and taxes for ...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Thank you @Russ for sharing these pictures. Your MacGregor is in a really good shape :) and I like the idea for the extra safety. I ordered yesterday from Blue Water Yachts the spreader and several other small things. You are right! I want to support too. It is really great that we have the possibil...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Hi everybody, Today I went to the boat to do some little things and I observed the mast. Is it right that the only thing that holds it for falling backwards is the forestay? Is there something else that I can do to be more safe? Actually I am more concerned that the mast will fall backwards than for...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

@Jimmyt -> actually I didnt rais the mast myelf I found and paid someone who did it for me :) but I have to learn it my own. Yes I have the raising system. Is there even a video where I can see how to lower the mast? That would be really great if I can only lower it so far so that I can remove the s...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Thanks again everyone for your great support!!! As I understand I have to order two pieces. Can I insert them in the existing "spreader socket and bracket" (see picture) or do I have to make a further modification? Is there something else that I would need and order from BW in order to mak...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Hi everyone, I really want to thank you all for your suggestions, I take your advice seriously, and I’m very grateful that you noticed this issue! I wrote to Mr. Todd on Sunday, and he replied with the following: “Those have definitely been modified and are also definitely not safe. By reshaping the...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Thanks again for all your answers!!! Something else that I would like to ask you. Do anyone has experience with this issue? The Edge Banding material of the windows and table is getting of. The width of the window frames is ~10mm and of the table 14mm. I can find new U-Shape Edge Banding in the mark...

Re: MacGregor 26M Blog – A Beginner’s Journey

Hi everybody, Thanks a lot for your support 🙏 I really appreciate it! I can say for sure that the owner didn’t changed the spreader and that he was the first owner of this boat. All this sounds to me very strange 🤷‍♂️. @NiceAft -> how is it possible to forward it to Mr Todd to get his opinion?
