Congratulations!
I would do something about the foot of the mast. One way of doing it is to cut off about 6" and splice a new piece of the same size on it. It is a Canyon mast. If you can't find a piece you should at least reinforce the mast with two curved pieces of aluminum on the inside of the mast.
I hope you will enjoy your Tartan 27,

Hi All,
My wife and I have joined your group.... I have found many of your
topics very informative, thanks to all.
We recently purchased this old boat to give her some love ;)
(my wife said I needed something to get me out of the house)
We hope to be sailing from Salem MA, on our 1965 T-27 next year.
There are some pictures, before and during. Hull is sound, engine fair,
a couple of sails and everything else is a work in progress.
If you look through the pictures there is one of the step end of the
mast, if anyone has any thoughts on its condition I would be interested
to hear them.
Cheers
