Weekend Cruising Setup for Our MacGregor 26M - The Sailing Rode

Thanks for the tour! Lotta great ideas there for my own 26X. You just got yourself another subscriber, but for now I'm off to check out that gear on your Amazon store. Thanks again!

Thank you for all the tips

We have a 2000 MacGregor 26M that we love. We've had her for about 10 years now. We sail out of Jupiter Florida. Where are you located and sail out of?

Looks like the perfect setup for what you guys are doing at this point in time. I have been curious what the interior looked like. A nice looking used MacGregor 19 just became available within a 2 hour drive of me. I am thinking it might be a nice first sailboat.

Love the video. I've been boat shopping and have decided that the Macgregor is likely the best fit for me. Love seeing someone out there using one much like I would.

Thanks for the tour

Nice job. Thanks.

I enjoyed the walk-thru video.  Thanks!

Nicely equipped. I haven't mounted my stern anchor yet but was planning a 2.5 gallon bucket. The extension cord reel makes much more sense. It is all an evolution of course. Got a few other ideas too. I have struggled moving the mast and avoiding bending the spreaders on the lifelines. I didn't think of disconnecting the lifelines from the forward end and letting them go slack. I'll have to give that a try. I also need to get myself set up so I don't have to empty the boat each time I come home. All those trips up the ladder and down into the cabin get positively aerobic after a while.

Thanks, informative video. The Coleman shower on the dark cabin windows noted, easy as! The use of cycling bottle holders on stanchions and then suction cups for internal storage useful. Bimini additions for shade. Thanks to you both. Just starting out on a 26M.

Great video, very informative for those of us just getting started in a 26M

Whew! Finally! I just knew I would pick up on an idea or two if I saw your layout. The anchor layout, tarp, shower caddy thingie and cupholders just to name a few. I find I have to bungee my cooler in under the table as I have a tendency to push the boat to heel a bit much past "comfortable" levels. Also, did you reinforce the area under your bunk or just thrown a mattress on it? What kind of mattress is it? Thanks gang!

Enjoyed your video, thanks

Thanks for the walk thru and set up!

Nothing is better than being on the water......./)
