Hi, came across this app https://sailties.net/ which lets users document their experiences and connect with other boaters. The platform has grown organically to 30k users. Interesting for the Mac Community?

Cheers,

Windermere

General Discussion

Andy Vincent (Black Shadow) mentioned the possibility of organising an event on Windermere in the autumn, and the idea came up again while we were around Anglesey. Andy is proposing start dates of 27th September or 4th October from the slipway at Ferry Nab. If anyone who fancies this could express their interest here and preference for a date, then Andy will provide more details and make plans.

Congratulations Jason on your first newsletter which I received yesterday. It looks great - lots of good stuff. Looking forward to many more!

Water skiing - the proof!

Forums:

General Discussion

You've probably seen the old MacGregor promotions from when the 26X first came out, that you could water ski behind one. It always seemed a bit dubious that you could really do it without a specially set up boat.

But no, here's Rahui, Anneke Wallace's previous boat, demonstrating the truth in Falmouth!

Mast Gate for 26M

Forums:

General Discussion

Hi All,

I'm looking at options to simplify raising/lowering/reefing the mainsail and one challenge I have is my 26M didn't come with a mast gate / Sail Entry Tongue Gate.

I have seen that Mastgates.com offer solutions, but I'm interested in views from yourselves.

Thanks in Advance

Paul

Certificate of compliance - EU

Forums:

General Discussion

I've received an email from long-time member John Denman. He's had his 26X in France for several years, and is now selling it to a Belgian. The buyer says he needs an EU certificate of compliance to be able to register it in Belgium.

Personally I have no clue about this, does anyone know what is involved, whether such certificates exist and even if it is in fact necessary? John would appreciate any help or advice anyone can offer.

TIA

West coast of Scotland trip

Forums:

General Discussion

I am planning a trip launching from dunstaffnage marina, Oben and possibly sailing as far out as the Isle of Barra, weather permitting. Date not finalised yet but thinking end of may early June for around 7 days. Will be mainly at anchor in beautiful anchorages with marina/harbour where possible. Anyone interested in joining me, be nice to have a group of McGregors?
