Thanks for trying to get the group going again
ddsdirector2003
I really miss the old board, but think you're doing a great job
recreating what we had. I look forward to more posts about projects, upgrades etc. I checked out your owners list and didn't find my name on it, so here is the information for you I own the T-27 pictured on your website "Lagoda". I'm in the process of rechristening her, when that is complete, she will be called "Southern Horizon". She is at the Mobjack Bay Marina, in North, VA. My contact information is as follows Robbie Watts 5445 Gilling Road Richmond, VA 23234 email southernhorizon@... or robbiewatts@... Thanks again for your hard work Robbie Watts |

Re: T-27.com update
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI downloaded some
forum software early last week.? I'm planning to install it and see how it
goes.? It looks very similar to the old site and offers more
control.
?
In the meanwhile, I
took my ASA bareboat and coastal cruising courses over the weekend.? Got to
sail on a T-37.? Was nice.? Very familiar feeling to our 27's.?
Of course 2 feet of additional beam and another 10 feet of cabin make alot of
difference.... but it was still interesting.? Gave me some ideas on how to
do some stuff on our boats.? I learned quite a bit from taking my ASA
courses.? I took the basic keelboat a month and a half ago, and then I took
the combo bareboat/coastal cruising course.? In theory I'm certified to
rent a boat anywhere that recognizes the certification.? Most charter
companies recognize ASA.? One of these days I'll get a chance to spend a
week sailing somewhere else and it beats trying to take my boat
there.
?
I also found an
interesting Maptech site.? I'll post the link later to the t-27.com
site.? It is freeboatcharts.com or something like that.? Anyhow, it
has a nice viewing tool and you can print charts.? You can download charts
for anywhere in the US for free.? Just select the area by map or name and
then pick your charts.? It might take some real time on a slow connection,
but none-the-less it's free.? I like to download charts for areas I used to
live or want to sail in and then look around.? The free software is pretty
nice.? It lets you plot a route and gives you all your
coordinates.

Sorry your t-27.com newsletter got held up. I'm not sure why Yahoo held it as spam. I just noticed it after the holiday weekend (another reason to have an alternate site/repository of information). I have not tried wayback.org to see if any of the old forum data is available but my last attempts to do so with another archive facility proved fruitless as only the main pages were archived.

Re: electric repower - solar panels
For those of you not quite ready to take the plunge to a totally electric motor I would suggest getting a solar panel for trickle charging your batteries. We mounted ours on the stern rail with a special mount they sell so no extra holes in boat or rails. Solar panel $90, rail mount @ $50, regulator $? - total project cost around $200. We have not had a problem with low battery power since adding the solar panel and keeping the batteries trickle charged all winter long in the garage.

The mounting hardware is shown just below the square panel Of course, you will want to remove this panel from the stern rail in the event of a major blow or hurricane and you can quite easily. Speaking of electric powered boats did anyone hear about the Swiss catamaran that crossed the Atlantic that was completely solar powered? They proved that it is feasible but what I do not like is there is no mast or sails to harness wind power. I hope that everyone has a nice holiday this weekend. Happy Memorial Day! -----Original Message-----

Re: electric repower
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI was the one who
had tracked that down.? I have the documents on it.? Apparently Hull
#1 was converted to electric......?

I'll try to find
them in post them in a few days.? It was really economical as long as you
weren't trying to motor long distance.? Even then doing a diesel-electric
made good sense.

electric repower
Dear Tartan List,
On the old site was a posting about converting the Tartan to an electric motor. If the poster subscribes to this list, please e-mail it to me. I'd like to do that conversion one day! Thanks, Marty "Poseidon" #342 Galiano Island, BC 604.736.1972 ____________________________ |

Re: standing rigging dims
Brian
I managed to get the specs back online from the original
tartan27owners.com site. I also found some other interesting documents that are worth reading. --- In T27Owners@..., calebjess@... wrote: information.htm which has a lot of dimensional info on the T27. With some basic trigonometry you can figure out the lengths for all shrouds and stays. I think that the relevant numbers you need are these: -- Standing Rigging Lower Shrouds-------- 7/32" Upper Shrouds-------- 3/16" Forestay ------------ 3/16" Backstay ------------ 3/16" Lifelines ------------- 9/32" including vinyl 3/16" wire Genoa Tracks --------- 1" Mainsheet traveler ---- 7/8 many have up graded to 1" Spreaders - ------------ 7 degrees above Horizontal ------------------------ -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message-----T- 27, hull # 284. She is a fine sailing vessel (I have owned hertwice) but find I am not sailing her as she deserves due to concerns aboutthe rigging being older.______________________________________________________________________ __ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
