New Mac 26 Roller Furling for Main

Do any of you fellow Mac 26 owners know anything about the new roller furling for the main that is posted on the Mac factory site? As my wife and I get older it would be a real plus to have roller furling on the main as well as the jib. If anyone has purchased this new offering by MacGregort or know...

Restoring Oxidized Black on 26M Windows

Has anyone found a product that will restore the black around the windows on a 25M?

stay tension and mast rotation.

I picked up my Mac 26M late in the season last year so I am still experimenting with the standing rigging tension. Some of the guys in other slips at the marina helped me tighten the side stays almost were you can pluck them and hear middle "C". With the stays this tight I have trouble man...
