Thx, however, I think I will learn to be content with 5 feet from floor of cockpit near compainionway to bimini top.???? Ron --

The previous owner raised the boom on Dawn (#663) 8 inches to accommodate a dodger. We find the boat sails quite well under this configuration, with no problems with controlled gybe. That said, I'm

A few points.... -using a boom vang and setting it up to not allow the boom to raise up high enough to catch the backstay is something that should be done on stock boats or boats that have raised

Thanks for all the response. Points well taken.? Although it does appear that the main could be hoisted another foot, it would soon be frayed on the backstay. Yes , the boom is rather long , which

Famous to some of us fans of the Tartan 27' is Hygelig, as was Russel Cobb (?). On the subject of raising the mast Richard raised a good point. If the boom could be lifted, as by a jibing main sail

Hi Steven ,????? Famous ?? If sailing across oceans makes a boat " famous "? :-)??? However, now trying to make her suitable for island hopping .? Had to fabricate a very low bimini !? In

There's no reason you can't raise the boom. It's a common modification, especially on older boats. There's a Library of Congress on the topic on YouTube and the internets.

Also what Richard said. I’m not sure if the boom has to be shorten. Sent from my iPhone

Hi Ron Isn’t your T27 famous? I’ve heard of owners raising the boom up to a foot to accommodate their height and/or dodger. The mainsail foot at the minimum will need some work or if you need a

Raising boom could cause problems with backstay hit in hard gybe... Richard Shearley

Hi! I think that may be a good idea, but have not tried. I would be concerned about put more holes in the mast at a fairly high load area. I shorten the topping lift when motoring. I am very nervous

When you installed the trex, did it bend to the curve easily? Did you use the 1x5 or 2x4 material?

Any Tartan 27-2 owners moved their boom up a few inches ? Ron s/v Hygelig

Bronze and aluminum dont get along, add the stainless screws and its a mess. A few alloys like Marinium are better. When you re-assemble, use TefGel as an insulator and cut a thin plastic disc to put

Kerry, thanks for posting these pictures. It gives me a clear picture of what my boat would look like with solid rails, and I like it. Did you use fittings, or is it welded? Also, what is the height

In the end, lifelines can be more of a psychological benefits and convenient hand-hold. they are usually too low and two weakly constructor or poorly installed to provide real safety.?I would suggest

Even on the 36' boat I saw with solid lifelines they looked big and industrial, clunky. Wire or amsteel lifelines are almost invisible and look a lot better. T27Owners@...> wrote:

I just recently replaced my lifelines with covered Dyneema. It is fantastic!, by far the way to go. very easy and I did my own spicing. Got a deal on some closeout line at West Marine. Brian SV
