Re: replacement sink

 

Matthias, I've checked my sink, and it looks to be in pretty good shape.?? I haven't cleaned it up, but there are no obvious dents, holes, or other problems.?? The outside flange measures about 12 3/4" by about 15 1/2".??? Should I go any further, or have you opted for another approach??? Regards----Warren Stein, Hull # 535, Seanachie, Waterford, VA.

Yeah, Caleb, I'm getting closer and closer to making my own sink. I'm pretty sure now, that I don't want another stainless steel sink and probably make a plug off the old sink and then use gelcoat and polyester resin.

The trip to Stuart never materialized because my todo list was not getting any shorter and the marina in Green Cove Springs is located rather?conveniently?close to my sister's house so I can travel back and forth to fabricate and install stuff. But I did have a nice little voyage to St. Augustine with my daughter and her friend for spring break.

Matthias,

You are a handy kind of guy. It is my belief that you could fabricate?
a nearly exact replacement using your old holey sink as a model or even?
a mold.
I think you could use some lightweight cloth and epoxy and if you could?
figure out a way to apply some sort of 'mold release agent' to the?
original sink it would serve as a mold for your fabricated replacement.?
Ja?

I was wondering how your trip from Jacksonville down to Stuart Florida?
went? I could not connect with you while I was there over the week of?
March 11th for my mom's 90th birthday. Instead of going sailing we?
took a 3 day side trip up the Tamiami Trail over to Sanibel Island and?
back along Alligator Alley. It had been blowing it's head off from the?
NW and the beach at Sanibel was literally littered with all kinds of?
scallops, clams and even a few little octopi (most still alive). I?
spent some time throwing some of the Gulf Scallops and octopus that?
were still alive back into the water. No sailing for me but then there?
was too much wind around March 8-10.
Hope all are well.

My galley sink has more than one hole!

When I got the boat I noticed a lot of rusty spots and tiny little pin?
holes all over the stainless
steel sink. I was trying to find a replacement without any luck and I?
coated the underside of
the sink with epoxy. It was working fine til yesterday when the wash?
water was starting to
find its way into the cabinet and finally onto the floor.I was pretty sure the sink was original but when looking for?
replacement I cannot find the
right size which is 13x17.5".
I also would love to replace it with a plastic (ABS or fiberglass) sink?
since I end up doing the
dishes with ocean water a lot to preserve drinking water.

Anyone know where to look? I looked all day already.

We have one(1) T-27 racing in the Punta Gorda Sailing Club.
Tobie has a SWFlorida rating of 299 --- seems a bit high!
See attachment for club's site --- a bit of an advertisment. :-)

Re: T27 Yawl and Sloop PHRF

 

Guys,
?
When I first got Scarlet about two years ago I checked around on the internet and was able to find a listing of PHRF numbers for the T-27, and most other boats, all over the country. As I reacall they varied from a low of about 240 to 252, I believe. I believe there are a good many on the Chesapeake that have established a rating of 252. If you do some digging on the net I'm sure you can find the site I mentioned.

Chris,
We have raced T27 hull #328 on the Hudson at the Nyack Boat Club. Our
boat is sloop rigged so no choice of Yawl rigged vs. Sloop. I believe
that we get a 'base' PHRF rating of 236 to which we add 2 points for
both the roller furling jib and the fixed 2 blade prop, giving us a
final PHRF of 240 in our Wednesday night races. I have no
documentation to give you to back this up however. My feeling is that
the rather high rating comes from the nearly full keel shape that her
hull presents to the water, similar in design to an Ensign (also PHRF
240 at our club). The centerboard makes racing this boat fun as at
different depths it has differing beneficial effects depending upon the
point of sailing.
I am curious why you are interested in both sloop and yawl type rigging
as it was my understanding that with the yawl the main sail was
necessarily smaller (and not quite as tall) to make room for the mizzen
mast and sail. I also thought that with the yawl rig that the main
mast was set up a little further forward (again, to make room for the
after mast and sail). The only info I have on the difference between
sloop and yawl rigged T27 comes from the 'information.htm' file in the
Files section of the Yahoo Group:

Sail Area 376' (sloop)
394' (yawl)
----------------------------
Sloop Yawl
I 34.65' 33.50'
J 9.83' 9.83'
P 30.50' 29.50'
E 13.50' 13.00'
PY 13.00' (yawl only on these 2)
EY 5.67'

The above information is extracted from the old tartan27owners.com
website with no supporting documentation.
The only other tidbit of information I can add is that the PHRF rating
is the same for a sloop (presumably a yawl too) whether racing in a
spinnaker division or not.
My question for you is, is the T27 you intend to race sloop rigged or
yawl rigged or do you have both at your disposal?

Re: Buying replacement parts for a 27

And here I go again having to praise my much loved Universal (Kubota) M3-20 (18hp).

At 1500rpm it's using less than a pint an hour. Which translates to 5kts thru the water in calm conditions.

Re: Buying replacement parts for a 27

Sidney Cullison
 

Brain, thank you for all your suggestions.Price did play a roll in buying the boat but the boat it's self had more to do with it. All the majors with the her are in?good??shape as she has been well maintained just needed a good cleaning and light painting.?Her?po loved her he?just ran out of time to keep her clean.I am having the mechanic that has serviced her in the past go over everything and service her diesel completely with new fluids,filters and fuel tank cleaning before she even moves?as this is not my first rodeo.I grew up with my family owning and running a marina and marine repair faucility on the chesapeake bay.(I still own the marina an old home place up there with my brothers)Also having worked for John Trumpy Jr.of Trumpy Yachts and Tom Colvin the famous sailboat designer and builder back in the seventies,I do know enought to ask others such as your self for advice and guildenace as you'll are more savy to this boat than myself.Your right about the hatch I just wanted to find one for the fact as she hits my home port she will be recieving a new coat of paint on her decks and I wanted the hatch to be painted at the same time so it would match.I will look into US Boats as you are right again on the towing it can get out of sight as I have been in the tow boats position and you are at?their mercey?of these people when your stranded,so any and all the suggestions,advice,and ideas you can give me I would be greatful for.Oh the picture of your boat,she looks like she a keeper.Fair sailing? to you, Sidney????

Re: Centerboard lifting system

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

You really need to pull the boat and check your centerboard.? There are a few things that can become dangerous or expensive.

?

Check the pivot point.? This tends to rot out or corrode out.

The point where the pennant exits the hull can ¡°saw¡± through your fiberglass.? You have to remove the rubber hose to check this.? It¡¯s underwater at this point so you¡¯d be checking it in a ¡°gurgling spring¡±.

The attachment point is a pain in the a** to work with.? It¡¯s easier on land.

?

Most marinas will do a overnight ¡°hang in the crane¡± deal for not much more than a quick haul.? You need 2 to 3 hours to do this right.

?

I had a homemade board that was too light and not built right.? After I replaced the pennant and fixed the through-hull point, I was checking out the board and thought it looked strange, so I gave it a tug and it fell out. Better on land than at sea!? Although I think it needs to ¡°go away¡± anyhow.

Re: Heavy Air Question

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Yes, if you don¡¯t have enough headsail out she won¡¯t behave worth a damn¡­..?? It seems to be from the bow acting as a sail and fighting you.? You need lots of extra power in the front to deal with that, or you need to fire the engine to override it.

?

I¡¯ve been caught out in Galveston bay a couple times in thunderstorms.? I normally drop anchor, let out 100¡¯ of rode and wait it out.? Our bay is about 10 to 20¡¯ deep.? Great holding, nasty mud.? In 40 to 60 mph winds the boat becomes very very difficult to manage.?

?

Wave wise, she¡¯s a trooper.? I had to go to Galveston last July.? We had 25mph winds, 2-3 foot seas and intermittent rains.? The channel where I leave Clear Lake is narrow and frequently the waves concentrate there.? We had to punch through 5 foot waves every 2 to 3 seconds.? The people in the restaurants probably thought we were crazy, but once we got into the 2 to 3 foot waves we were just fine.? It was a very wild ride in the 5 to 6 foot stuff but the boat handled it just fine and I never felt unsafe in the least.? Although I was certain my soda would be flat shortly and it wasn¡¯t a good time to use the head!

Capt.

Sidney????

Hi Sidney----Well, I'm sorry to see another Tartan depart the Chesapeake; but home's where you drop your anchor, I suppose.?? I know for sure there's no vent cut into my hatch, but I'd be pretty sure it's scratched/crazed, probably original.?? I don't think there's much if anything wrong with the fiberglass; and perhaps the plexiglas is replaceable? ? I didn't waste much time on it because I knew I wasn't going to use it anyway.??

If you're talking about the forward hatch, and not the companionway hatch, I might be able to help you.?? I removed mine in favor of a Lewmar hatch, and I'm pretty sure I've still got it lying around somewhere.?? I'm sure it's not in tip-top shape but it might be a whole lot better than what you've got---or maybe yours is missing?? Where are you? ? Regards,?

which are very pricey.Does any-one know of any-one making these as
replacement parts for the tartan 27?Thanks for any information

Re: Buying replacement parts for a 27

 

Hi Sidney----Well, I'm sorry to see another Tartan depart the Chesapeake; but home's where you drop your anchor, I suppose.?? I know for sure there's no vent cut into my hatch, but I'd be pretty sure it's scratched/crazed, probably original.?? I don't think there's much if anything wrong with the fiberglass; and perhaps the plexiglas is replaceable? ? I didn't waste much time on it because I knew I wasn't going to use it anyway.?? I think the hinges are still attached, too.??? Anyway, I'll check it and drop you a line over the weekend.??? BTW, Waterford is landlocked, in very Northern Virginia, in Loudoun County.?? Where in Matthews are you from??? Regards---?

Ha Capt. Warren,yes I am looking for a forward hatch.I have just bought my boat(haven't brought to my home port yet)off the Tartans owners web site.Boat has one now but has had a solar vent installed?in it and the clear section has cracked?bad and leaks.And with having 800 miles of sailing to bring her home I would like to have it alittle more secured hatch or it could get nasty.Waterford Va sounds familiar as I am from Mathews Va but now live outside Savannah Ga.Tartan can build me a teak one for $800.00 but when you spend $4,500.00 for the whole boat with a diesel something just doesn't work there.Anyway thanks if you have one and it's not in bad shape let me know and we can work something out if you like.(whats funny is I can find new ones for pearsons,odays,catalinas,hunters and they are only $200.00)go figure.Oh the guy that with Tartan is also from
White Stone Va.Thanks Sidney

Matthias,

I also recommend a stainless bar sink. I actually may have an extra one I went dumpster diving for, that may fit. Unfortunately I won't be in a position to go by and measure it for a week or so. Postage?costs may make it preferrable to buy something local. Let me know if you want me to give you the dimensions!

PS: Thanks everyone for this interesting dialog that has been going on lately on all manner of subjects. I've picked up several bits of useful information. You can tell it is time to go sailin!

My galley sink has more than one hole!

When I got the boat I noticed a lot of rusty spots and tiny little pin holes all over the stainless?
steel sink. I was trying to find a replacement without any luck and I coated the underside of?
the sink with epoxy. It was working fine til yesterday when the wash water was starting to?
find its way into the cabinet and finally onto the floor.
I was pretty sure the sink was original but when looking for replacement I cannot find the?
right size which is 13x17.5".
I also would love to replace it with a plastic (ABS or fiberglass) sink since I end up doing the?
dishes with ocean water a lot to preserve drinking water.

Anyone know where to look? I looked all day already.

Thank you Chris, that is very kind of you but I'm leaning more and more to a plastic replacement.

Hey Matthias,

Check out bar sinks. They are small and may be close to the dimensions?
you need. I did a quick search and found this link. Didn't find?
anything fiberglass but I didn't searh to deep. They may be a bit?
pricey but if you have a restaurant supply store close, they may have?
soem used one's. I have one in my neighborhood. I'll go by with your?
dimensions and see if he's got something reasonable.

here's a link to one thing that may give some kind of lead.
Good luck.?
