Pauline and I will be attending this year's AGM and we are both looking forward to catching up with everyone after missing last year. (Op date brought forward due to cancellation).

We are travelling up on the Friday afternoon and staying at the Best Western Moat House Hotel , Mill Lane Sindlesham RG41 5DG on Friday evening.
It isn't the closest hotel to the Bull, but it's only 16 minutes away and offers flexible booking.

Anyone else going to the AGM?

Does anyone know what the IRC rating is for a 26M?
I am thinking of entering the Round the Island Race and couldn't find MacGregors in any of the lists.
I have crewed in this race but this will be first as an owner. Has anyone done the race?
Thanks

Hi all, hopefully some of you knowledgeable owners can help me out. I'm not yet an owner but intend to get an M or X. I'm in the fortunate position of having the grand union canal at the bottom of my garden. Space is somewhat limited but I am installing a boat ramp / boat house. At the moment it's 3m wide and slopes down 1ft from the garden to the water and then a further 2ft under the water at a gradient of 1 in 4. So questions...3m should be plenty wide enough as the trailer is about 2.4m wide right?

I have just seen the updated 26M - it's called the Tattoo 26.

Members may be interested that I have just unloaded the first Tattoo to arrive in the UK. This is the 11th boat built. Externally it is very similar to the M but ther are some changes to the pushpit There are changes to the rigging and all controls can now be led back to the cockpit including the main halyard. The interior looks quite different. The galley and table now have a speckled appearance and there is a useful storage space in the middle of the table. The mirrors have all gone and the overall interior is of a lighter colour. The cushions are quite different and a lighter colour.
