    i have been sailing for decades on my yacht and sail jams are a regular accurance.I usually throw the anchor if i am by myself of use my auto helm. There will all ways be things breaking /jamming and corroding, just part and parcel of boating. Stick with it,as with time it gets easier!For instance just last week my solar panel went faulty and so did the stereo!, also found my propellor too be loose and my sthrough hull paddle speed wheel stopped working! I just have a list of things to fix and maintain constantly, but thats fine by me.

    I have a Sailfish 25 drop keel built in 1980, I think the macgregor is a great choice for novice sailors, as you have the speed to bail on a passage and get too harbour quick, or if you have engine failure, you have the sails, to sail to shore. My sister had one of these yachts recently for a few years.

    Oh yeah Sailfish are nice boats. It's working out well for us so far. We had an issue with the motor and knowing we could still get somewhere definitely made us feel better.

    Sailing in super light conditions is really great practice for trimming, And yes i do the same,just using the genoa usually with quick sails, i leave the main packed away,

    Nice both sails up and tacking. My favorite point of sail is broad reach.

    It's 5'x8', we wanted to get something smaller, like a jet ski trailer, but we already had this one and it's working better than expected.

    Congratulations on the boat. It looks really good. And, the real reason I am commenting, is to say congratulations on the video. It has a really nice," come along and share our day with us" feel. I've got an older Mac, and because I am so geographically far away from it almost all the time, I have not gotten to the point that you have, to put it on a mooring ball. So I am more than a little jealous. But, your video actually gives me a little inspiration for the future. You should all count yourselves lucky to be part of such a nice, tight family. As I said, good job on the video. It was nice to see something without any of the all too common vulgarity and profanity of so many other shares. Something I would not hesitate to share with anyone. And, one of my pet peeves is people putting a hard rock or heavy metal music background on their videos. So, I really appreciated your music background. Good job. Have a good day, and hopefully sunny skies and fair winds soon for you.

    Thank you for such a nice compliment on my video! I hope you get to put your Mac to use the way you want. It's taken us 3 seasons to get to this point and we are still learning what works best for us, I'm happy it's inspired you.
