Hammond Marina 26X

Post by Y.B.Normal »

On page 81 of the Jan./Feb.2019 Great Lakes Scuttlebutt Magazine is an ad for Hammond Marina on Lake Michigan. There's a Mac 26X in the picture. Anyone out there claim ownership? Dave Anderson?

We Mac owners have a mutual admiration society.

An :macm: owner points out an :macx: , an :macx: owner points out an :macm: . 8)

The :macx:, the one that reeks of mildew, is mine. I have had a boat at the Hammond marina since they first opened. A Southcoast 22 Eclipse, MAC 25 and now my :macx:

The much slower blue hulled :macm:is my neighbor (whom I seldom see). I believe he is from Chicago. Not too long ago there were (4) Macgregors on B dock.

Very nice marina. They open in 4 weeks (and a couple days). Ice be damned, it's time to clean and splash (and refit the gross interior) YUCK!

To prevent mold from forming inside our Mac during the winter, we spray Scrubbing Bubbles brand bathroom cleaner over all fiberglass surfaces and then do Not wipe it off. It works quite well. No mold since we started doing this.

Years ago the companionway hatch cover on my MAC 25 was slid forward a few inches all Winter. What a mess that was.
I used the Scrubbing bubbles with great success at that time. Thanks for the reminder.
