Check with Don Moyer at moyer marine on the gear
drive. He is the east coast A4 guru. I had the cutlass
bearing changed on hull # 545 by Beatons in NJ.

Looking for Russel Cobb on "Hygelig"

Matthias Klemm
 

Hello everyone,

My name is Matthias and I'm trying to find contact information for
Russel Cobb. He has been (or still is) sailing his Tartan 27
named "Hygelig" around the world. Since I have similar plans I would
like to contact him and see if he let's me pick his brain a little.
Anyone know anything?

your board works, than it is not in the same
condition as mine was. The weak point is where the
pennant cable enters the board and attaches to the
bushing. I asked Tartan what they do to prevent this
point from allowing water and they replied, simply,
that the bushing is glassed in. I took this to mean
that it remains a weak point that requires
occasional examination. The upside is that this
board operated for well over 20 years according to
the previous owner. Remember to have the yard
elevate the boat high enough to lower the board
suffiently for such an examination. I think mine is
about 18-20 inches off the ground.

Re: bilge pump

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I used the West Marine pump.? There was another brand (rule) in there previously.? The PO had used garden hose and secured a board in the bottom of the hull that it and the float switch sat on.

?

I used a hall effect switch and the WM pump.? I like the cartridge pump.? I don¡¯t think it needs to be secured so it just sits in the crevice under the engine.? The hall effect sensor is epoxied in using a underwater epoxy from Home Depot.? Need to make sure it¡¯s clean first, I used some acetone on a rag to clean the fiberglass and then the epoxy mixes up easily.? The WM pump had to have a plastic tab broken off of it, but it¡¯s not a big deal.? I like this pump because it¡¯s cartridge based and a new one can be installed with little hassle.? It also includes a check valve.

?

I replaced the garden hose with ¡°bilge¡± hose.? The garden hose had gotten brittle, it was also narrower and less flexible.? Past that it probably wasn¡¯t awful.? It just made me uncomfortable.? I also used zip ties to secure the hose well up in the transom as far as I could get it.? This creates a nice vacuum breaker to prevent a siphon should Murphy and his damned Law come aboard for any length of time.? You know the saying, If it CAN go wrong, it WILL, in the WORST of moments.? J

?

I also used the water proof / underwater epoxy to fix some other things like the icebox drains.? I found it was extremely effective and didn¡¯t mind a little water.


Long Story

ksmith4312
 

I consider myself a newbie. My first boat was a Mac 25 (not the
motor sailor)very light and trailerable. I have it at a marina in
florida and have been getting to know the other sailors. Lots of fun
sailing but still learning. A dry slip so she is easy to launch.

Last weekend while on my first solo the forestay didn't sooo I
started looking for a mast. Conversation with one of the liveaboards
about someday moving up to a more substantial boat perhaps even
larger "if I could find a slip"

Guess what the Tartan owner who has been doing some work on her was
transferred. Would you be interested? The slip is transferrable. I
will take a look.

Today I fell in love or at least lust with (perhaps) inanimate
object.
The brass plate says 442. The price is less than a new mast at JSI
in St. Petersburg. She will need repowering but for now does come
with a kicker motor.

One other interesting point my admiral is wheel chair bound but
shares my dream. We both were bitten about 20 years ago on a 30
footer on a lake in Oklahoma. Her maiden name is Morris and very
Irish. The boats name is Irish Lady.

Told you it was a long story.

Now

Need tiller size?
Any ideas on repowering. She had a disel the a4 is long gone.

I have the magazine with that test in it. I'd love to get one of the
Supersubs but when I check online, most are in the UK... Where did you
get your's?


Re: bilge pump

tartan27plee
 

I just posted an article we did on "Bilgepump" where tested 10 pumps.

The Whale Supersub 500 was our winner, and that's the one I ended up installing in my T27.
It fits well because it is narrow but yet powerful. I also have a manual Whale Gusher pump
installed as well.

Check the article in the "Files" section of this site, I will post it right now.

Re: mast stepping

 

Thanks Bill,

My mast is also very close to the size of the opening. I'm thinking of
using Spar Tite in that opening. My buddy just used it on his Pearson
10M and it's a really nice product that is neat, clean and seems to be
a great option to taping the mast boot on. I appreciate the input.
