New Mac delivery today

Post by chucktro »

I wish to introduce myself as a new member to the Mac community. Eventually I would hope to contribute certain ideas to this forum as many of you have.

My new 09 Mac was delivered today to "The Sailboat Shop" dealer located at Lake Pleasant, Arizona. It is currently being prepped but still the most beautiful thing my eyes could ever gaze upon. She shall eventually be christened "Pisces" . Reading this forum for many months my list of forthcoming mods is never ending.

Chucktro, Congratulations! Could you please post your hull number, there has been some discussion lately about a slow down in Mac production. I'd be curious to see where Roger is at with the :macm: production.

chucktro,

Congratulations on the new boat. We are all glad to hear from you. When you can, be sure to post pictures. I for one am not familiar with Arizona sailing :? I spent some time last February in Tucson, and water is not what I saw a lot off :D

My hull number is 2160. It took right at six weeks from the time of order to delivery. Initially I was informed to expect a delay of six to eight weeks.

I selected a Honda 9.9. My preference is a sailboat, not a powerboat.

Congratulations on the new boat and welcome aboard. Sometimes it is as much fun thinking about the modifications as it is planning the sailing. When you get her launched, post some pictures and let us know how it went.
