Wash out your mouth on the small Mac, it along with small trucks are coming sooner than we want along with a small economy attached to the snivling coat sleaves of, hey we've got some of that already. Maybe there are some big electric trucks to save us!

There is a Mac 19 featured in a travelogue in the May 2009 issue of Sailing. Not much on the Mac, but a good article. Most of the issue is devoted to trailer sailing.

So did anybody actually take the time to look at the link of "Little Mac"? I thought it was pretty cool.

I usually check out all links that are posted, but I missed this one because I was on my cell phone when it first came up. :( So, with a little "tugging", I went back and looked. What I can't figure out is; where do you attach the halyards? :)

Here is some photo's of my Mac and my tug boat "Tugly". I built the tug about 11 years ago. It is powered by a 50lb thrust
trolling motor. People love to take my picture everytime I have it out. Please click on the small pictures to enlarge.

"Little Mac" is cool, but I have to say Randy - "Tugly" is awesome! Did you build that from a set of plans, a kit, or are you just that creative?

I agree completely, now if it could be shrunk 1 1/2 feet in length and somehow hang from davits ...nah, never mind, that is a really nice little run about/tender.

I built Tugly from plans from Berkely Engineering. It was a fun winter project. I always wanted one big enough to sleep on. Maybe someday.
