Hello All
Am owner for past four years of Hull #154, a yawl. I have an older 170
furling genny, and am thinking that is too much sail here in the fall
days on Lake Michigan.
Does anyone have a smaller sail as their primary foresail? I am
thinking that a 150 would be sufficient. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mike

I have a fill tube on deck, however just below deck there is

attached a

90 which splits off and feeds into the tank at about the same

location

as the primary hose. Which I think would just create a loop and not
allow water to flow out as the is no air vent. The only other hose I
have found leads to the sink.

Any and all input, opinions, 2cents are welcome.

Sounds like the resistance would be less, but you would still need air
to release out above the 90 against the water incoming. The only other
problem could be expansion in the tank itself. Temperature or
elevation change.

They were Perko lights on my boat. West Marine sells Perko but I don't
know if they sell the lenses separatly.

I was just emailing a friend some photos of how I rebuilt my Atomic 4 and thought it may be
useful to other T27 owners out there.

It's posted in the "Photos" section under "Tartan27plee"

If you are interested in owning one of the nicest Tartan 27's around, check out our
completely restored and updated 27-2 on boats.com. It is 'Random' sailed out of Ossining
NY on the Hudson river. This boat was much loved but we have recently moved up in size
to a Tartan 31. A perfect boat for small families, couples or single-handers.

Anybody want six screens for 5 x 12 Beckson portlights? They're off
our 1978 T27-2, hull #667. Outside dimensions are 5-1/4 x 12-1/2
inches. They're in decent shape, but we bought new Becksons with new
screens.

Boy do I feel silly. I was at the boat today and the screen size is
correct. If they are still available. What do we do next?

Yes, I have screens for give-away. See my posting #174 from August 9,

Thanks for the offer. Wish I had 5X12's that opened. The ones I have
are much smaller and oval in shape.

Thanks for the input fellas.
I'll do some research on the G10 and the starboard is a good idea as
well Caleb. Didn't think about that approach. Shapeable, sandable,
dont' have to seal the edges, etc... nice and clean. Appreciate it.
Will let you know how it goes.

On the advice of an experienced boat repair guy here in Vancouver I used a piece of .5" plywood, approx 6" x 8". I painted all edges with epoxy first to seal the wood. When I drilled the stantion holes I overdrilled them, filled the holes with epoxy, let it set, and redrilled a smaller size. He claimed that the larger plywood backing plate works better at spreading the load on a cored deck. I did this 5 years ago, and its been fine. The rest of the stantions have alum back plates, and they seem fine too! I think ss is probably overkill.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone put backing plates on their stantion bases and deck cleats?
If so, did you make them yourself or purchase them. I know I can cut
some out of 1/8" stainless or aluminum but I wanted to ask first.

Someone may have already done it.
Thanks

We found that mounting our cheap swim ladder (< $100) amid ships where our spinnaker pole is mounted works pretty well. A bungee cord or two on the top of the ladder and even a boat fender lashed around the water level of the ladder works best for me. I can't find the model we bought 4 years ago but here is a similar stowable model from WM which might serve well:

The reverse shear or cant of the transom and the presence of the exhaust pipe on the transom makes this an undiesireable location for a swim ladder; not that I swim off the boat much with the engine running, if ever. I think that the best and most expensive solution is to install a vane steering mechanism that would be mounted on the transom that would provide a means of climbing aboard from the water, a backup steering mechanism, and an autopilot all at once makes the most sense for the money but you could spend about 3 boat bucks ($3K) for something like that so I am sticking with my el-cheapo method for now.

I am not sure if you have a spinnaker pole mounted on deck along port or stbd but this helps our swim ladder stay fairly straight. Good luck with your search and your mileage may vary.
