She can pull up right onto the banks on a sandy beach and you have your home right there next to the camp fire. She can get to those far out places that have very little water, that few people can take their boat, for some rest and relaxing and outback camping. Another key feature with this boat is her draft. This truly is one of the coolest boats around. At these speeds, you could even start pulling water toys behind the boat for a fun family day out. The Macgregor has the best of both worlds to offer, she is a sailboat that has been proven to sail in as much as 50 knots of wind or if there is no wind, you can pull the water ballast plug and motor at speeds up to 25 knots! At 25 knots, you just turned this beauty into another type of fun. She also has some very nice system upgrades that are factory installed and run by solar power. This boat comes with many extras and spare parts for cruising. This boat is 100% ready to go! You can pick her up with a less then 5 month old trailer and head straight for the water. The actual process should only take a few minutes.At Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales, we are proud to offer one of the only, if not the only, Macgregor Sailboats that is fully decked out for life aboard and fun. The directions recommend three people for the job simply because, once you cut the bands holding the coil together, you'll need some extra hands to deal with the entire length of the luff. You must cut the bands on the coil within a day or two of receipt, and follow the straightening directions on the box or the luff may not completely straighten. The luff extrusion is coiled in a 40 inch hoop and will require a straightening process.
#Cdi furling systems for sailboats install
Sta-Loc or similar swageless fittings can be used at the upper end of the headstay assembly but can not be used at the bottom end as the fitting will not install inside the furling drum properly. The headstay should have a swage-on stud and an open body turnbuckle at the bottom end of the headstay assembly. They will not install over rod rigging or inside out Navtec turnbuckles. Flexible Furlers are designed to install over 1X19 cable laid wire. In order to insure fit of your CDI Flexible Furler, you must know both the wire and turnbuckle size. 1/2 inch Torlon balls are used which roll over dirt easier and need less maintenance than the 1/4 inch balls you find in less rugged systems. The FF7.0 and FF9.0 come standard with ball bearings. However, if you expect consistent heavy loading or want the easiest possible furling, the ball bearing option is a great option available. If you're looking for a proven, simple furling system that gets the job done but doesn't cost and arm and a leg, check out our prices on the CDI line.īall bearings are not required for the FF1 through FF6.

There are no joints to fail and it is designed to be winched. This luff extrusion is as stiff in torsion as a metal system, and yet can bend without kinking, unlike metal systems.
