Thank you for the info...been following with interest. Wondering if you learned anything about his self steering, if any. A solo trip?


Tangentially telated, I have just ordered ¡°The Coast of Summer¡±. by Anthony Bailey. Stories of sailing a Tartan 27 from Shelter Island to Cape Cod. Anyone read it?

No. I asked him what modifications he made to make her blue water suitable but we didn't talk about the electrics but I do know he rewired before he took the boat across?the Pacific.

He had a short-wave radio on board so I would have expected him to be careful. I'm surprised?too. john What does the boat name mean? john

Yes, bought in Philippines , is still on same mooring. Yes,? the " appendage " is still there , although not pleasing to the eye. Just curious , did he ever mention why he decided to ignore electrical precautions and instead bypass main fuse panel and wire direct ? Thanx again , John .

Yes, Russ and I emailed a little in the years before?his death.?


Did you buy his boat in the Phillipines? And where is it now??


Russ put an appendage on the bow to keep breaking waves from covering the deck, is it still there? if so I'd love a photo.?


Russ probably sailed his T27-2 further than any other owner but he left little written record behind as far as I can find. john
