Re: standing rigging dims
WD, On the 'Files' section of the group page there is a file called information.htm which has a lot of dimensional info on the T27. With some basic trigonometry you can figure out the lengths for

standing rigging
Does anyone know the lengths of the upper shrouds, forestay and aftstay? I want to replace the standing rigging on "Gusto", a 1967 T- 27, hull # 284. She is a fine sailing vessel (I have owned her

Re: Cockpit drains run aft through transom
I highly recommend a boom vang..... just make sure to loosen your topping lift enough to accomodate it. :) If you want pictures and details of mine let me know. Mine was installed by a rigger here

Re: Cockpit drains run aft through transom
One downside to this idea is in some sea conditions with following waves water might be able to push back up into the cockpit. Of course you could just add extra cockpit drains (for a total of 4) at

Cockpit drains
A friend has suggested running cockpit drains out the transom, symmetrical to the exhaust line. This would considerably improve drainage and reduce resistance by one hull penetration point forward.

Re: Centerboard replacement
I'm not sure if the centerboard was designed for quick breakaway. It was just a guess. Thinking more about why there is no steel in the top of the board, it might also be because the weight does a lot

Re: Centerboard replacement
Thanks for the photo Jack. I had not realized that our centerboard was designed to be a break away component. It makes perfect sense though as if the centerboard breaks before the trunk does than

Attached is photo of the presumably original centerboard from our 1978 T27-2. Pivot hole at left, pennant hole at top middle. The cutaway sections were made to check on internal corrosion, of which

Re: Centerboard replacement & apologies to mkstroup

Re: Centerboard replacement & apologies to mkstroup
I have the files you are looking for and I also have all the files from the old site. I also have a dead half-ass centerboard, so I've been studying this. The good news is that the boat will sail

Re: Centerboard replacement & apologies to mkstroup
I didn't expect so much so fast. Yes to the line drawing of the centerboard. Please let me know how much you need to cover cost. I have already contacted a local company to cast the centerboard

Re: Centerboard replacement & apologies to mkstroup
I do not plan on encasing the stainless, I plan on bottom painting it and installing plastic 1/2" strips along the sides to take up some of the space to prevent chatter. I do not like the original

Re: Centerboard replacement & apologies to mkstroup
Steve, Thanks for validating my memory somewhat. Someone did post a picture of the T27 c/b on a 1" grid and must have been you. There is a subtle similarity to your old screen names: SCook and

Re: Centerboard replacement
Dudley, At the old tratan27owners.com someone with a user name of CStroup posted a photo of the centerboard aligned over a 1" grid. I am attempting to contact him to see if he can find this picture.

Centerboard replacement
Hello, I need help in locating a drawing of centerboard for T27 hull#54. I want to recast a new one out of bronze. My wife and I purchased her last summer and are starting to work on things

Re: Centerboard replacement
Hi Dudley----I own hull #535, Seannachie. I, too, have had the same thought about casting a board out of bronze. What's more, there is a small foundry in my town which will be losing its lease

Re: Sails 4 Sale
Hi Bob, We'll definitely take the mainsail cover. Our current one is faded yellow which probably doesn't block much UV and clashes horribly with the dark green hull. What size is the genoa and what
