I'm beginning to think I should have avoided my 3QM overhaul and installed one of the supercharged dragster engines I used to work on. Show those pesky Mac's the way home. Rich Knowles Indigo. LF38 - 454V8 Halifax On 2013-01-05, at 0:05, "Rick Brass" wrote: I actually have two friends locall

I actually have two friends locally who own M26Xs. Both are experienced catamaran sailors. One was mainly in small racing cats - did the Worrall 1000 three times, among other things. The other sailed a 44 ft cruising cat until about 2009. The cruising sailor sold his big boat and wanted comfort

I've actually sailed on a MacGregor 26 (the 70's vintage boat, not the M or X) a couple of times and it wasn't a bad boat. Build quality was not very high, but as trailerable sailboats went it was OK. Seemed pretty comparable to Hunter 25s and Chrysler 26s I looked at when boat shopping in the ear

Home improvement stores and Radio Shack sell adhesive labels that are about the size of file folder labels that you can write on. I bought some at Radio Shack several years ago, and apply them to the end of the wire where it attaches to the breaker panel. Write on the label, peel it from the sheet,

Getting more people out on the water is a double-edged sword where I live. Personally, I could live with a few less powerboaters who think they are driving cars and don’t know the basic rules of navigation. Such as the guy in a small outboard boat who recently came charging into a long line of

And, frankly I get a little envious when I'm sitting in slatting weather, reluctant to fire up the vibrator, and see one of those funny looking things blasting by at 25 or 30 knots, sails furled and beer cold. Gary - Original Message - From: Chuck S To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com

tami and I are doing the full job on the cabin sole on our boat this winter. We will strip the varnish with Citrus Strip or the like and back that up with a heat gun. Wiping the pieces down with alcohol will show if we've missed any bits. A light sanding with 150 or 180 grit production paper will r

Tom I'm in the middle of refinishing my cabin sole. 1 You're a lucky guy 2 It is veneer. Do NOT use a belt sander. I'd strip it with something like CitriStrip. Its not toxic or smelly. If necessary, use a random sander, or just hand sand it. 3 If there are discolored sections use Oxalic acid to

My first mate, Lynn, has always handled our bright work. She wants to refinish a portion of the Teak/Holly sole on Alera. Apparently the prior owner had all of the removable panels refinished, but not he section at the bottom of the steps since they don't come out. As we understand it, the
