Freesailor Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hello sailing gods ! Long time lurker! first time poster ! I come today for honest advice/opinion. i was recenty at an abandoned vehicle auction and low and behold theres a decent looking little cat. not shy of a challenge i put in a punt and so i walk away with what was called an hobbie!. Not being a fool i thought this isnt no hobbie, but 125 bucks later its now in my garage... ive got a number of other sad boats, a hawke 12, a old windy 14 and a 16ft mono sports boat of some sort . bad news is, and im sure you cqn validate due to the pics: ITS A MACGREOR 15 !!!!! So is this boat going to do 6kn in 30kn blow ? am i wasting my time, should i use it as a 15ft ancor ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humungus2 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Looks in good nic, If the sails are fine I think the kids will have a lot of fun. A weighty person may not have so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have mast, boom, sails, crappy sheet metal rudders and other parts of a Macgregor 15 if you need more junk for your shed. Why not consolidate the good bits onto your Windy 14 and have 1 good boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyquoll Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 They appear to be the original sails, based on how worn, faded & stretched they look. Can unroll them for a photo if you want. They are complete with full-length battens, which makes them too long for Australia Post to handle. If you want to arrange a courier, I'm happy to deliver them to the local freight office; Bega or Merimbula NSW. I'm not seeking any payment; will be happy if something good comes out of the Macgregor, which we called Fugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mainsail is old, white dacron with mildew stains, with mis-matched and twisted "blues streak" style battens The jib is red + yellow dacron, in reasonable condition.
