Run Your Halyards Aft
This is probably the single most popular modification made to the MacGregor 26M and 26X.
The factory provides a typical small-boat halyard set-up as standard equipment. Both main and headsail halyards are terminated at the lower part of the mast where they are tied off on cleats. This arrangement has been around for years and works fine except that it does require you to leave the cockpit when raising and lowering your sails.
Sailing your Mac with the halyards led aft simply adds more enjoyment and safety to your on-the-water experience. Sails can now be raised and lowered directly from the cockpit making the rigging process quick while keeping everyone in the cockpit at the same time.
We have created a top quality package specifically designed for the MacGregor 26M and 26X. It features hardware from Garhauer Marine and includes everything required to run your main and jib halyards aft plus your centerboard line.
Just a couple of notes:
You will need to replace your current main and jib halyards with ones longer in length. We have them available in our Sheets & Halyards page on this site.
Although not required, we strongly recommend adding sail slugs to your main sail if you haven't done so already. We have a very inexpensive kit available.
