Ok, is it just me, or does attempting to sail with the facory jib equal heartache and woes? It seems that I cannot steer the desired path when using that #*%$&@^ jib. It steers the boat. Is it too small? Do I have it too tight? I've used a 125% jib with no problem on other sailboats. Please give some insight. -Jerry

Hi Jerry. I own a 1988 model 26D and I have no problems with the factory jib on my boat .. but I have one question for you .. have you made the rudder mod. to your rudder yet? If you havent maybe you should try it . It made a world of difference on my boat. Also what Part of Alabama are you in .. im all ways looking for Mac. owners close to me. David

I'm near Slyacauga. Where is your town located? We are East of B'ham on Logan Martin, near Pell City. vcrowder@bellsouth.net And, no, I've not made the rudder mod. Still working on other creature comforts like lazy jacks, ventilation for storage locker, electrical appliances. Thanks, hear from you soon. -jerry
