when I recently bought my 2006 26M it came with no working electronics. I would like to install a fixed VHF and have decided to go mast ariel and through deck fitting next to the light connection. Once inside the boat I am having trouble knowing where to go next. In order to save wasted hours I thought I would canvas experiences. My first thought is to site the unit adjacent to the fuse panel as clearly there is already wiring from the mast underside area to that point. Has anyone successfully pulled through any additional wiring to the fuse panel?

I'm planning to fit a roller furler (for the foresail) to my Mac 19, and been ploughing through the minefield of the various products available. My previous 26X had a CDI furler, as widely used on many Macs, and this uses a plastic foil (the rotating bit the sail wraps round) which is highly flexible.

New main sail for 26 m

Have been speaking to Jeckell sails about a new full batten sail with
plastic sliders and two reefs . With the plastic sliders how to make a feeder gate.
Is this the way to go? Has anyone replaced their sail?

Hi Has anyone got the centreboard measurements width, length, thickness and angles for a 1995 Mac 26x? I have a local firm who can fabricate one at reasonable costs.

I've had an enquiry from someone who wants to buy a Mac and is asking about layout changes (eg M galley)

As an X owner I'm not too familiar with the M changes

Can anyone help with a brief summary of the main layout changes in the M and approx date of changes to enable me to assist the person enquiring.

Thanks
Mike
