26X Factory Improvements

Post by Steve Shenkel »

At some point in mid 26X production, Roger MacGregor had a document on the factory site that itemized a list of improvements to the boat. Among them were the relocation of the vent valve from the companionway step forward, a resulting new companionway ladder, a more robust steering system, and numerous others. As the M is now the production boat, this document naturally does not appear on the factory site. Does anyone know of any site that has this document or have a copy of it?

Thanks for your time.

Those improvements were the reason we decided to buy new in 2002. I know not everyone feels that the improvements were that important, but we have been glad many times that we bought a model that has them.
