My first boat was a Mac Dinghy. I was looking for one and did find one. I am trying to put it back together it is mostly there. If anyone has any information about these boats or had one I would it would be greatly appreciated. The daggerboard isnt right and I am not sure the rudder right.
Hi,
I am really new to sailing and found your post online. I bought an old Mac Dinghy last year and have been learning to sail. Last week the weather was rougher than normal and the old wooden rudder literally disintegrated. Do you know if it is possible to buy another rudder for these old boats?
Thanks in advance for your response!
Salty I wish i did. My rudder doesnt retract and I would love one of those. How is your centerboard mine appears to be to small. Maybe we could brain storm make them both right.
I agree Salty. You could just copy what was there. It doesnt have to be very fancy. If you decide you dont want to build one I may interested if decide you dont want your boat.
I bought a Mac Dinghy in august as my first sailboat. It has Penn sticker from 1969 but it seems brand new. If you need pictures or measurements of the rudder or daggerboard let me know. I haven't found any info regarding the Mac Dinghy and am curious as to it manufacturer and history.
The Mac dinghy was also my first boat many years ago. I stumbled across my boat years later. It kind of brings back memories when I first started to sail. I would like to put it back together. The dagger board inst right and the rudder also doesn't seem to be the way I remember it. Any help you can offer would be great, I do have a little info about the boat.

I took some pictures of the rudder and dagger board.
