Enrico new member from Italy ... Add a foto

Post by Italy Mac26x »

Hi , my name is Enrico I am 47 years old, i'm an Italian sailor live in Vicenza near Venice in northeast Italy, with my wife Patrizia my son Riccardo (14) and my little daughter Emma (7).
In 2011 I bought a used Macgregor 26X 1999 for € 10.000 I then added a 2007 60hp Yamaha engine used , which ran only for 60 hours for Euro 3000, and finally a new italian trailer Sacar bi axis for Euro 4000 and pulling with my turbo diesel Dodge Nitro .
(For speed .... Best Italian sports cars .....for tow ...... best American cars :D :D )

I'm really happy to be a part of the community of macgregor sailor.
For 26 years I was a camper (RV) and for me it 'was easy to choose a Macgregor 26, and now i have a "camper" for the water .... :D

In 2011 we have experienced for 30 days (6/7 hours a day) in Malcesine (Verona) in the the north of Garda lake, with regular winds from 5 to 25 knots and an experience that I 'served a lot to know the limitations and advantages of sailing with MacX.

This year I pulled the MacX in Sibenik center Dalmatia - Croatia where I'm writing now, the sea is wonderful.
 We been here 35 days , and every day we make from 20 to 40 nautical miles, a bit 'with the engine a bit' with the sails, we're having a great time.

Thank you very much for all the advice and the changes that I read in your beautiful forum, my apologies for the bad English of the translator of google :? and I send you greetings from the beautiful Italy.

Hello everyone from Henry

Ciao Enrico,

Welcome to the group. I spent 2 weeks sailing the Aeolian islands (off north coast of Sicili for those unfamiliar with Italian geography :D ) with my family in July. Unbelievably beautiful! Great sailing, great food, great wine, wonderful people. Glad you are getting so much great cruising from your :macx:

I thank you for your welcome to the forum I add some photos of 2011 (before changing the engine) that I posted in a forum of Italian sailors.

"..............

I am really happy .... 8) I was afraid of having to do all the restoration work and improvements to the freezing cold as baby Jesus .... :D and with makeup instead of wheels at the bottom of the side members ....
I managed to pass the ramp ....

Cap Vega ... But the name given by previous owner even if I do not like ... E the family we decided to call Camale' like a chameleon for the ability in transformation on trailer, sail and power :D :D

I could not change his name so far 'cause in Italy seafaring tradition involves a complex procedure (superstition I believe) to change the name of a boat! :?
