Re: estimate, Tartan 27 mainsail
Hello All,
I blew out my mainsail yesterday. The sails were old but it was still shocking to see the threads and the sail in two tattered pieces. I was gusting up pretty good right when I was raising it up. I thought I might have caught a batten in lazy jack lines but it didn¡¯t split until I was back at the tiller.
The lazy jack line was let all the way out but I always found the battens catching on it. I prompted cut the lazy jack lines and tied the cables around the rigging. I never really felt they were that useful and I don¡¯t want that to happen to the next sail. I don¡¯t know??
Anyway I am in the market for a mainsail as well. My wife said she would like a blue or red mainsail. I have never purchased a sail so I have no idea what I am getting into here.
I went online and there are several sail makers out there. Most seem to want to quote without a price online. I saw a price from Southeastasiasails.com for $1088¡didn¡¯t know if anyone had experience with their sails.
Any suggestions or comments would be very appreciated.
PS. After dropping the main we raised the 176% Genoa and sailed along pretty good for several hours at hull speed. Fun time!!
Thanks Glenn Pearson

thesailwarehouse.com had a couple of T-27 sails I was eyeing just a year
ago but had other projects ahead in the queue. Congrats to whoever
landed those.
Hogan made the sails she came with and I emailed them yesterday and a
few other places the last week. I'll report back with whatever I do.
Maybe I'll order a kit and lock myself in the attic all winter hand
stitching it with silk thread while mumbling to myself.
I'll put in a quote request since they don't have anything in stock.
A couple of quotes would be nice.

Scott,
The loose footed full battened main sail I bought from Rolly Tasker
(thesailwarehouse.com). I seem to recall that it cost me about $1800
- that must be almost 10 years ago though.
The loose footed aspect of the sail really improved our ability to
shape the sail since we really had to make our outhaul work to flatten
the sail. Loose footed = No bolt rope.
The new main allowed us to actually sometimes finish our races in 1st
place when we were normally the back of the pack with the old blown out
main.

Hello,
I'm shopping for new mainsails for this old Tartan 27!
Some medium weight suitable for our winds but not
necessarily cruising weight.
P: 30.50 ft, E: 13.50 ft, from sailboatdata.
Two reefing points.
5/8" external sliders (measured 0.67" wide on the track).
3/8" boltrope foot.
2" cutback on tack.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,

Hi Patrick,
T27 #273 beat you to it.
FYI? There are a bunch of used copies on Amazon for around $10.?? It is a good read.? And Google Maps is a good source to see satellite views of all the harbors and places he mentions.

That is such a great book! I have a copy and recommend it to anyone with a T-27 or who is familiar with the Long Island Sound area. Bailey wrote for the New Yorker for years, so the book is nicely written, too!?

Hello,
Anyone have a good used mainsail up for sale? Mine has
a big potbelly.
Boom isn't original (the bodge job on the gooseneck was a give-away)
and the foot is now 3/8" boltrope but I can have that changed if
the mast sliders are 5/8".
Cheers,

Hi Scott,
I rebuilt the toe rails probably 37years ago, and made them bigger and more robust.? If you need some ideas or more pix let me know.?
Nice to know you have a similar model.? I have put a lot of work into the boat, though it does need cosmetics.
Regards,
Jim
