You might want to consider hiring someone to move your boat and block it at home.

Subject: [T27Owners] deck paint and trailers

Just taking a poll here.

It's painting time for my boat. I'm wondering what others have used
on the deck? My deck was repainted by the PO and it's coming off in
pieces now which is rather unsightly. A sure sign it needs
repainting is that I went to move the boat to a new marina and was
told the boat had to be repainted first. LOL. I guess that means
mother nature has done what she's gonna do.

I've also considered bringing my boat home as the antifouline and
topsides also could use new paint. It would be *much* easier for me
to do it at home where I have space and tools. What type and
capacity of trailer are others using? I hate to say it, but I'm a
tad intimidated by trying to figure out what sort of trailer is right
and getting the boat out of the water. That said, I used to have a C-
22, so Its not the trailer, just the hassle of finding one that will
work.

Can a flatbed with cradle be used? I am almost certain that I'll
need to have the marina lift her out and unstep the mast. It seems
like it would be a monster to unstep by hand or to try to recover her
on a boat ramp. Any thoughts? We do have one or two "deep" ramps
that were suitable for the c-22 (which draws 1.5ft). I doubt that
they would fly for a T-27. And it's not like I can power her on the
trailer. lol.
