It was most interesting that this MacGregor 26 thread had been running for the past few day. Today, I was over at a local boat yard and they were dealing with a local insurance adjustor regarding a clients MacGregor. It turns out that the owner of a MacGregor 26X had dropped his mast and damaged it. He put in a claim to his insurance carrier.

After successfully seeing the Spotted Towhee in Blair (Thanks, Bill) I decided to try my luck at the Gannett off Pier 26 in Hamilton. No such luck. However, swimming in with the Mallards and Scaup was a pair of Harlequin Ducks, both a male and female.

And there will also be a simple document describing how to insert materials for all of our developers, so it could be easy to maintain the website.

All counting is done by volunteers. Not all members are counters nor does a counter have to be a member. Typically one person is the designated counter for each day but other observers present assist with the spotting and identification. Counting is done from a steel observation tower with a wooden floor.

I would like to hear if there are any class or early model problems with the first year 26's that anyone may be aware of. Furthermore, any input on BMW diesels and their associated transmissions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Mike Pedersen Nordic Tug 26 wannabe owner Powell River, BC

The website has a description of the colors but no good side by side pictures. Does anyone know where I can see pictures showing the color difference between the Natural Teak and Natural Light. Also Cetol comes in a Clear Gloss, it appears the gloss is intended as a top coat over one of the other finishes.
