This is the new home of MYCBC.ca

Welcome to the home of the Macgregor Yacht Club of British Columbia (MYCBC.ca). We are a group of present and past Macgregor Yacht Owners. Most of our members are in British Columbia, Canada, although we do have several members from other places.

We organize on and off the water activities for owners of Macgregor boats; regattas, cruises, flotillas and our annual all member get together 'MacRendezvous'. Members share tips, ideas, and hard-come-by knowledge about how to maximize the joy of owning these wonderfully affordable boats.

This website is open to all to enjoy. We don't require 'official MYCBC' membership to use this site but you are welcome to become full members for the modest fee.  Currently this is $50 for the first year (which includes a club burgie and welcome package) and $25 per year thereafter.  Membership in the club is recognized at marine stores and marinas for discounts on supplies and moorage.  We also have negotiated discount insurance coverage for members.  The saving you can expect will pay back your membership fee manyfold.

To join the site please register on the left for full access.   Use a real email address as you will be asked to confirm your details via an email response we send.  We do not share email addresses with any other organization.   Full club membership (paid-up members) may have additional priviedges on this site that are not visible to others. 

What's inside?
  • News about the club and its activities
  • Forums to discuss Macgregor Boats and Boating in general
  • Photo Galleries of boating with the Macgregor
  • Event Calendars
  • Private Member messaging
To join the club with full membership priviledges, go to "Downloads" on the upper left menu and download and print out the "Membership Application and Waiver".  Please complete both and mail them and your cheque for $50 to the address listed on the Form.  Note: You still need to register for this site to use it.

Dear Members,

We have a family that will be joining the club as soon as they find the 26S they are looking for.

Can anyone recommend a good surveyor in Vancouver?

Please post it here, and I will reply to them.

Thanks

Dear Members,

Just a quick reminder about the 2010 "Boat Show" coming up next weekend!

It would really be great if we could have members at the booth for the entire show, but we still have a few open spots.

Please see the post called "Boat Show 2010" for the list of available times, as well as a few photos of the new booth display.

Thanks in advance!

Searching for any information I can find on changing my standard jib over to jib furling for a 26x. Can anybody steer me in the right direction? I would like something that is more compatable with trailering. Any suggestion of suppliers in the lower mainland area?

Hey Bob! My 26 foot classic is specified for a 10 horsepower o/b max. With this in mind, you could probably put a 25 on the back, but don't push it too hard. I run a 15 on mine, and it responds excellent! Good Luck!!!

Bob, my guess is that you would be over powerin the boat. When I have questions like that about the older boats (we have a Classic) I call the factory in California. They are always happy to provide information.

I am from Houston and trying to find some information on a recently purchased Macgregor. It is a 23' and wondering if we can put a 25 hp Johnson {its all we currently have} on the motor mount? Can anyone help with this question? Bob

Boating season must be just about here. I just came in from cutting my lawn!

For those of you who haven't yet paid your dues, if you want to avoid getting a nasty reminder from me the deadline is February 28th. Same as the RRSP deadline, but you gave up saving for your retirement when you bought a boat:)

I am ordering a few of those mast plate bearings ($20.00 ea.) for the 26M from Gail @ Blue Water Yachts in Seattle. She charges me $10.00 for the postal service so I am getting two for myself. If anyone else would like to buy one for their 26M rotating mast to try out please let me know and I will order extras and bring them to the next meeting. They work better than those goofy washers you have at the mast base currently.
