BOATS4SAIL OPTIONS

This is the best deck hardware package offered by any MacGregor Dealer in the country. It makes your boat safer, and easier, to rig and sail. This is the best option for your money, by far, and is only sold as a pack to customers that buy a boat from BOATS 4 SAIL. It includes all of the items listed below:

Halyards Aft to Cockpit - This allows you to hoist your sails from the cockpit. The way the 26M comes from MacGregor you would have to stand on top of the boat, at the mast, to raise and lower the sails, and cleat the halyards on the mast. Longer Halyards with Snap-Shackles; SS Blocks (4); Rope Clutches (4), for Main Halyard, Jib Halyard and Downhaul, and Dagger Board.

Bill's EZ Cleats - Bring your headsail (Jib, Genoa, Spinnaker) sheets aft so you can tack from the helm. They simplify single-handing. Swivel cam-cleats, with fairleads, that go on Genoa track.

Mainsheet/Vang Upgrade - New SS Mainsheet Blocks with a Snap-Shackle. I convert your MacGregor Mainsheet blocks to a vang (which is the MacGregor vang). A snap-shackle is added, and a longer line so it can be used as a Preventer. Boom-Bungy; Sail-Track Stop; Bail; Shackle.

Topping-Lift – This keeps the boom from dropping into the cockpit when you drop your mainsail. A simple, safe, one-part system that works the best if you do any trailering. Line; Snap-Hook.

Sail-Slugs - Installed on your mainsail, and are necessary, to hoist it from the cockpit. Reef-Lines are installed. The Sail-Track Stop does not have to be removed to reef the mainsail because I space the slugs correctly.

Headsail Downhaul - Lets you get the hanked-on headsail (Jib or Genoa) down from the cockpit, without it going in the water, or blocking your vision. It is a good, safe system that works. This is much better than roller-furling, for this boat, if you are trailering, in my opinion. Stanchion Block; Line; O-Ring.

Forestay Pin/Tack Snap-Shackle - Simplifies attaching your forestay, attached with a lanyard so you can't lose it, and for attaching your headsail. Quick-connect, one-piece, SS safety-snap-pin, with lanyard; and Snap-Shackle.

Lines - Anchor Line (3/8" x 100', with 2 SS shackles); Dock Lines (4 - 3/8" x 15'); and Fender Lines.

Bimini Mounts - Go on Genoa track to simplify installation of Sunshade/Bimini.

Also included are a lot of other items that simplify things, such as: all necessary mounting hardware; Adjuster-Covers; Anchor-Locker Snap-Hook with lanyard; Bungy-Cords; Gel-Coat Scratch Repair; Trailer Hull-Protectors/Centering-Rail Covers; extra pins, nuts, bolts, and shackles in a stowage-box. Modifications may be made to fit a customers needs and deletions may be made for credit.

Rigging - I will assist you in rigging your boat, at no charge. However, if you prefer, I will rig your boat to factory specs, for $500. It will probably require some adjustments. Roller Furling is $100 more. (1,16,08)
