I am a lurker who actually owns a Pearson 28 MK1. Beside prop walk, it has a lot of freeboard which catches the wind. A solution we use, especially when the wind is on the starboard side and pushing

The best way I have found to control reversing, such as leaving a mooring string, is to give the engine a burst of power in reverse followed by returning the engine to neutral. Place the rudder in

As others have noted, it's not you, it's the boat. There is no shame in using lines, bumpers, and other devices to make the boat do what you want. The aim of docking is to be in control at all times.

Thanks for posting the YouTube instructions. The timing was perfect, as I spent a good deal of time on a windless day yesterday, practicing backing into my slip. Going forward is much more

Agree with what’s been said. Gotta add my two bits. No shame in bringing a line over to an upwind dock finger or piling to pull yourself out of a difficult spot! Very seaman-like. Marty Marty

Common problem, practice it will get easier . Backing into a slip is even harder. It’s a great sailing boat however. All the best , Hull 700.

I find the wind dictates best way. It pushes the bow regardless of what I do with the rudder so I just go with it. If it pushes the bow in the direction I need to go, great, if not I back out and do a

Good tips all.

We bought our Tartan this past summer, and have observed that it is nearly impossible to steer the boat with the tiller when backing out of the slip. I was wondering if this is a common problem with

Update: boat must be taken off trailer and trailer returned. Bost will be available as of August 3rd. Plans changed, for parts or repair. Boat was in water last year. Most likely a candidate for part

That's crazy. I think I've seen a company that makes rudders in Good old boat. Maybe they should go into business!!

Just asked to Chris at Tartan (under new ownership). He has totally refit his T27. A new board is $2,313 with a 4 week wait for build. I believe I’ve fixed mine for now, but as some have suggested,

Wow! I would have never guessed it was so inexpensive! I feel like I should purchase 2 or three! Just to be ready. Thank you for sharing your info! Rich

Mine fit perfectly. 8 years and no issues, installed myself just digging a trench under the trunk. I think the shipping was $100. [email protected]> wrote:

In 2012 I bought a new centerboard for *$250!!* I found my old email contact. Art Averell Customer Service Manager Tartan, C&C Yachts 440-392-2628 ext 5104 <beaconmarineservice@...>

I knew a guy who paid: $ 1,250. From Tartan / 10 years ago. 350. Shipping to maryland. Later it was returned to the Manufacturer as it would not fit. The owner was on the hook for 2 men all day at the

My recollection is they were built to order.

Pretty sure that is the "We don't want to sell you a centerboard, but we will if you really twist our arm" price. I'd be a little surprised if they actually have the centerboards in stock. I'd guess
