And a philosophical meandering... (pic) (Sam Hunter, '93 Mac26S, Atlanta & Pensacola) fwiw, I was looking at yachtworld last night, and saw a large beneteau w/ a stern anchor roller. (for med type anchoring). not sure that will fit on our boats but was neet idea (beneteau oceanis39, IIRC) I posted a pic, of someone's mac 26s, I saw at a local marina, w/ a ladder in behind the motor well (motor on stb)... must be easier to get in /out...? and someone here made a diving / swim platform for the motor well, but think they pulled the motor up to use the platform (?) -since I don't have a furler, its harder for me to picture it... pics do help and are appreciated. Thanks again for sharing Sam!
