MAINSAIL, 2 REEF, COASTAL CRUISING / PERFORMANCE ROLLER FURLING, CDI MAINSAIL, 1 REEF, COASTAL CRUISING / PERFORMANCE
ROLLER FURLING, CDI
Our Price: $913.00
2 Reef Points / 5.0 High Modulus Dacron / Jack Lines / Standard Battens / Loose Foot / Ropeless Foot and Luff / "M" Logo

This sail is our most popular option, and a big upgrade from the economy sail at a really good price. The heavier cloth will hold its good shape much longer through the life of the sail. Includes one reef at 42" and one at 84" rather than the factory sail that had one very deep reef, essentially the second reef with the first reef missing. This gives you the ability to single reef sooner (about 12 - 14 Kts.) and continue to sail comfortably and efficiently in higher winds when double reefed. Also includes jack lines and "dogbone" tack reef fittings for easier reefing. This sail has a loose foot, meaning that the sail is attached to the boom at the tack and with a single heavy outhaul slide. The economy sail has no reef point, and is lighter weight.

This is a BWY Exclusive sail, typically in inventory and available to ship.

Now available again, CDI is under new ownership and back in production.
This is the complete roller furling system for all MacGregor models. You will also need the deck hardware to lead the control line to the cockpit and a headstay compatible with the furler. We can provide you with both. Your headstay must have a standard turnbuckle at the bottom and a swaged threaded stud on the bottom end of the wire, not a loop. The luff is not returnable.

The ball bearing upgrade does reduce friction when furling the sail, but also adds some maintenance, while the standard bearing is maintenance free.
1 Reef Point / 5.0 High Modulus Dacron / Standard Battens / Loose Foot / Ropeless Foot and Luff / "M" Logo

This sail is a very popular option, and a huge upgrade from the factory sail at a really good price. The heavier cloth will hold its good shape much longer through the life of the sail. Includes one reef at 42" which is a standard first reef rather than the factory sail that had one very deep reef, essentially the second reef with the first reef missing. This gives you the ability to reef sooner and continue to sail comfortably and efficiently longer. Also includes jack lines and "dogbone" tack reef fittings for easier reefing. This sail has a loose foot, meaning that the sail is attached to the boom at the tack and with a single heavy outhaul slide. We have also eliminated the unnecessary bolt and foot rope to give better sail shape throughout the life of the sail.

This is a BWY Exclusive sail and is typically in our inventory and available to ship.

SPINNAKER, STANDARD REPLACEMENT GENOA, RF W/ UV, UPGRADE REPLACEMENT MAST, BARE EXTRUSION, 3" X 4" X 28'
.75 oz NYLON / FULL RADIAL DESIGN, RED/WHITE/BLUE.

A full-radial sail pattern, very cool looking! The price is for the sail alone. You will need sheets, tack hardware, and halyard. We recommend raising your existing halyard if you have roller furling for you headsail, or installing a new halyard 16-24" above your current headstay. This allows the sail to fly with less interference with the headstay and headsail. On the 26M a bow sprit is a nice way to also get less interference with the headstay.
Venture 24/224, Venture 25, MacGregor 25, 26C & 26D requires halyard to be raised 24" above headstay. See our Spinnaker Halyard Relocation Kit to raise the halyard. Part number #3807-1V4

Does not include sheets

Masts are shipped in 2 pieces with a heavy duty splice / reinforcement at the spreaders. Mast packaging fee: $150

Select appropriate options if you'd like the mast drilled for hardware installation and/or notched for the sail feed slot.

We recommend buying a new mast foot plate with a new mast so we can drill the holes to match up correctly.
GENOA, HANK, STANDARD REPLACEMENT WINCH KIT, SAIL, LEWMAR, (2 WINCHES) JIB, HANK, UPGRADE REPLACEMENT

GENOA, 150% HANK-ON, UPGRADE REPLACEMENT / 5.0 Dacron

Direct replacement for all boats since mid 1980's, premium upgrade for earlier boats or late model 26M with plastic Forespar winches. Includes two winches. Does not include winch handle. Order #4504-110 winch handle if you need a new one.

The bronze winches are a nice upgrade, offering the same reliable functionality with a more traditional aesthetic. If you upgrade to the bronze winches please allow an extra few weeks for shipment, as they are a special order for us and take some time to get.

Hank-on / 5.0 Dacron / 7/8 Hoist


This is the original factory size jib which did not go all the way to the top of the headstay, it is about 2' short of maximum hoist. MacGregor built these boats with full hoist Genoas, but not quite full hoist Jibs. Most people prefer to use our part # 7203-1V0 which is a more modern full hoist jib which was used on the later model M25 and M26 classic. With brass push style Hanks to attach to the headstay.

These sails feature a hydraulically pressed stainless steel ring for the clew, and reinforced nylon webbing for the head and tack to allow a strong but flexible connection to your furler.

This boom fits all Venture and MacGregor models through 1987 except the V-24 and V-224 (these boats had an 11' long boom which is no longer available). We will cut to length for models with boom lengths under 10'. Must be shipped motor freight, expect high shipping charges and a $30 special packaging fee. The original size boom section is no longer available. We are using the same section as the mast, this will require that you also replace your boom end caps with the new part, boom end cap large. Please call if you have questions.

Also known as a dousing sock or a spinnaker sock. Light grey in color.
Considered the best dousing sock on the market. High quality breathable material. Tangle resistant design. Kevlar funnel, slips easily over spinnaker. Works much better than less expensive designs with a wire hoop.
ROLLER FURLING, CDI, DRUM ASSEMBLY MAST RAISING SYSTEM, CURRENT WITH WINCH FOR ALL BUT 26M BOOM, BARE EXTRUSION, 10.5 FT

For more detailed information on the replacement parts see the CDI FF2 Manual by following this link. This part is CDI part #2010 or "B" in the diagram.

This is the newer winch style mast raising system for use on all MacGregor and Venture boats except the 26M. This system can be used if you don't have a mast raiser at all or if you want to update a block and tackle style system to the newer winch style.

Most boats will need some additional hardware, especially if you don't have any mast raiser at all now. Be sure to read the "Extended Information" section before you order! If the wrong parts are ordered from the drop-down options the customer will be responsible for return shipping charges and the shipping of the correct parts.

If you have an existing block and tackle style mast raiser and want to upgrade to the winch style, order our retrofit kit, part #3464-1V4


This system is very specific to the MacGregor Mast and MacGregor hardware and is not sold for or intended to be used on other brands of boats.

BATTERY CHARGER, SHORE POWER WHISKER POLE, HEADSAIL STAY, BACKSTAY TENSIONER KIT
WHISKER POLE, HEADSAIL
Our Price: $189.00
ProSportHD Generation 4 On-Board Marine Battery Chargers incorporate all-digital microprocessor control. The ProSportHD Series provides unique automatic installation feedback with its exclusive "System Check OK" and individual "Battery Bank Trouble" LED indicators which eliminate time consuming troubleshooting by clearly indicating system and battery connections are OK, or if a fault is present on a specific battery bank.
After fully charging and conditioning batteries, ProSport’s Energy Saver Mode will monitor and automatically maintain batteries in a full state of charge, resulting in maximum reserve power performance and lower AC power consumption and operating costs.
ProSport incorporates Distributed-On-Demand™ Charging technology, taking 100% of the available charging amps and distributing them to any one or a combination of all batteries as needed for faster charging.
Each ProSport model has 4 digitally selectable charge profiles including a once-a-month storage reconditioning mode for extending battery life.

The 12 Amp model is adequate for most systems with 2 battery banks each having 1 or 2 standard size batteries, for faster charging on larger battery banks choose the 20 Amp model.

We recommend this telescoping pole (6'-12') for all Macgregor models. While Forespar says to use a larger size, we have found that the larger pole is too heavy to use in light wind without the complexity of a pole lift line. An added benefit is that if you completely lose control of things in a big blow, the plastic end fitting will break, acting as a sort of "fuse". These fittings are inexpensive and easy to replace. We stock these poles with latch fittings on both ends as we have found the "spike" style poles tend to come out of the sail grommet if the sail shakes a lot or goes slack. Instead latch securely onto the leeward sheet.

Everything is included in this kit for all boats except for 26M. If you have a 26M you must add the additional mast padeye bracket.

Because of the length this item ships oversize, and is subject to an additional $25 shipping charge. If we are able to get a cheaper shipping rate we will manually adjust your invoice accordingly.

Backstay tensioner kit for 26X, 26C, M25 and all keel boats with 28' tall mast. Includes new backstay cable with loop at top and bottom, 4:1 blocks and line. Attaches to existing your female shroud adjuster at stern chainplate, if your female adjuster is missing, you should order that also, part #3102-110.
LINE, UPGRADED HALYARD SET MAST RAISING SYSTEM, WINCH STYLE RETROFIT KIT ROLLER FURLING, CDI, BALL BEARING UPGRADE
LINE, UPGRADED HALYARD SET
Our Price: $179.00

Upgrade your rigging without going to the extreme with a set of Samson MLX3 halyards. See "technical specs" to check out the details on the MLX3 line.

Available in all the pictured colors, please specify which color you'd like for main halyard and which for jib/genoa halyard in the "order notes" section (when you place the order).


This kit includes all the parts you will need to convert an existing block and tackle style mast raiser to the newer winch style. You will need a good mast raising pole with all of its standard hardware and your existing side support wire assemblies to make this kit work. If you do not have a good pole order the complete kit, part #3418-1M0 for the 26M or #3418-1V0 for all other MacGregor or Venture boats.

Installation of this kit requires that you drill 2 new holes in the mast raising pole to mount the winch and 1 hole in the mast for the mast raising bail.

This is a replacement metal ball bearing for the FF2 furling unit. Although it's not a "night and day" difference between the standard bearing and the ball bearing, it is a nice upgrade and truly the only way to get maximum performance and ease of use out of the CDI flexible furler system.

If you're having trouble with rolling and unrolling your furling unit we suggest first looking at replacing the furler control line. Sometimes the line is too big (should be 3/16") or it's just old and that's why the furler is getting stuck. If your line is good but you're still wanting a system that rolls more easily, then the ball bearing upgrade is probably worth it.

For more detailed information on the replacement parts see the CDI FF2 Manual by following this link. This part is part "E" in the diagram.

This kit gives you all the blocks, line and hardware to install a Boom Vang on any Mac except the 26M (use kit 3301-1M0). Does not work with early boats equipped with the roller reefing boom when the sail is actually reefed. Most boats already have the holes drilled in the mast and boom for the attachment bolts. If yours does not, you will have to drill two 1/4" holes.

Porta Potty in 2.5 gallon holding tank and 2.3 gallon fresh water supply. Color: Parchment Tan. Includes mounting brackets. Top half is fresh water, bottom half for waste. Side latches lock firmly in place for added safety.

"ADD-A-BATTERY" KIT, AUTOMATIC CHARGING RELAY & SWITCH ROLLER FURLING, CDI, NEW STYLE PLASTIC CUP SPREADER, FIXED BASE, RETROFIT KIT
Automatically Combines or Isolates Battery Banks, no more old fashioned 1, 2, Both switch!

This convenient and affordable kit gives you both an automatic charging relay and a dual purpose battery disconnect switch. The simple to use switch has 3 positions, OFF, ON, and COMBINED. OFF disconnects all loads from BOTH the engine and house batteries. ON connects the engine to the engine battery and the house loads to the house battery. Combined connects both batteries together to all loads to allow emergency engine starting from the house battery. Before now it took 3 switches and a bunch of wiring to provide these functions.
The Automatic Charging Relays combines batteries during charging, but keeps them separated when not charging and during engine cranking (optionally), to protect sensitive electronics.

New style plastic replacement cup for the CDI FF2 roller furling system, the Stainless cup is no longer available (new picture coming soon). This is the cup only, the main plastic bearing is a separate part.

For more detailed information on the replacement parts see the CDI FF2 Manual by following this link. This part is CDI part #1807 or "F" in the diagram.

This is a great upgrade for any older boat with loose spreaders that can fold up against the mast. Greatly improves both the strength and stiffness of the rig, making it much easier to get good headstay tension. Improved headstay tension means improved upwind performance. Fits 3.5" X 4" teardrop style mast (1967 thru 2003). Most 26X models came with rigid spreaders standard, some early boats did not.
