    Is this a D or S?

    Looking at a boat for sale locally tomorrow. The owners wife said she doesn't know if this is a D or S, but looking at the inside, the sink is on the left side, and there does not appear to be a rope next to the door under it, does that mean this is a D?

    Hi Everyone, I have a 1982 MacGregor Venture with a swing keel. When we bought the boat we could see significant cracks in the glass for the keel but figured it would be somewhat superficial rebuild, but once we got the boat up we could see that the repair was pretty significant. We haven't...

    EPOXY?

    I have a 1995 MacGregor 26 C (swing keel and water ballast, conventional trailer-sailer and not the power-sailer). Question 1: Is the hull, rudder, and keel constructed with conventional fiberglass and conventional gel-coat? Question 2: If so, would it not be appropriate to use epoxy fairing...

    Would a mac sink like this?

    An unfortunate sailing family had their boat sink. See the "My boat sank today" Discussion in 'Ask All Sailors' started by stiggy456, Oct 1, 2015. My question to the Mac 26 owners and former owners is Would the Mac 26 sink like this or would the floatation keep it from sinking? My assumption...
