Welcome to the list, and congrats on the boat!

Should have mentioned it to Christopher as well but the forum has a
little database feature, and there's an "Owners list" in there:
/g/T27Owners/table?id=14720

Please feel free to add yourself and your boat? (I'm 1965 hull #93).

There's going to be an echo in here, but fiberglass epoxy layout.
Gently sand the bronze to get the oxide off (I keep a roll of
plumber's sandpaper cloth handy... the cloth backing makes it a lot
easier to use for hand sanding on fussy handles) and expose and rough
up fiberglass on the top of the centerboard trunk for at least a few
inches around.? Scrape or grind off the old filler used to seal that.
Clean up particles with a clean rag and solvent, then do some
fiberglass and epoxy layup, maybe to 1/4" thick, going between the
trunk and pipe, replacing whatever was there (polyester filler
maybe?).

Since you're currently on the hard, it's a good chance to remove
thru-hulls you don't want and rebed ones you do.? If you don't know
when that was last done, assume the worst.? Original bronze should be
replaced and anything bedded with 4200/5200 should be rebedded.? It's
also a chance to service the stuffing box I guess (still have a
dripless seal, which requires more maintenance and is even more
impossible to service on the water).? Apologies if this is something
you're already well aware of.

Cheers,
