Thank you Scott. I did reply, will see what happens. Fred Liesegang Eagle #662

They're asking about 27-2, but none of these are specific to the 27-2 except maybe "like least"/"like most": Or did the chainplate mounting get improved on the 27-2? Cal Sailing (where I "grew up", to

Hi All, A fellow sailor forwarded this message from Good Old Boat magazine to me. Perhaps GOB is preparing an article on the Tartan 27? Please see the Original Message below: Caleb D T27 #328

Sounds like a fun trip! I am sure the Pacific Northwest is beautiful, but the sailing in New York is pretty good! Between the Hudson, Long Island Sound, Great South Bay, and out to the twin forks, it

I got a bit sidetracked trying to find resources about fiberglass hulls in frozen water and stumbled on this: http://www.goodoldboat.com/reader_services/articles/birthoffiberglass.php Which lead to

I forgot that I actually have pictures posted in the Bron Yr Aur photo file of the centerboard housing, completely encased in fiberglass. In looking at the photos of the other boat's housing, it looks

I suspect there are endcaps under the fiberglass but I won't know until I start cutting. Now, many of the comments make sense. They can access their pins without cutting any fiberglass. There is no

Scott, I am sure you are correct about the NPT threaded pipe and end cap used in most T27 centerboard pin installations. Like everything with a nearly 50 year old boat these bits bear inspecting and

Monica, I think that most T27's have the pivot pin encased in pipe caps as shown in the picture. They sorta look like the bolts sticking out of Frankenstein's neck. I believe there is a short section

Okay, I wasn't sure before what you meant exactly when you said the pins were encased in fiberglass. Yes, I can confirm that my centerboard pivot pin has two metal caps on each end with just a bit of

Scott, That picture looks like the ends of the pin are NOT encased in fiberglass. My fiberglass completely encases EVERYTHING, including the ends of the pin. Thanks for the pics ! Monica Malone PsyD

How about waiting until you launch the boat and then motor or sail over to a good boatyard.? Make it an adventure.? They can haul the boat and you can put the new board in.? It is a lot easier to

Thanks for the input, Dave. On my boat, I have to cut the centerboard housing to get to the pin. (Based on some of the responses, I'm wondering if this is true of all Tartan 27s.) So, after the trip

Hi Monica, I have to put in my 2 cents.? I think you are making a relatively simple centerboard replacement a major activity by cutting and trying to replace the board from the top.? Putting the

Turn the centerboard into a daggerboard with a daggerboard trunk that extends to above the waterline. Get rid of the pivot entirely. Downsides: Less room below decks. If the pendet breaks, boards

After I sent that, I realized what I should have suggested: a flange-to-flange meeting, I.e. two right-angle flanges, with a gasket between and thru-bolts all around. Stiffer, stronger, and more

Warren, You have verbalized the temptation I've been trying to chase from my mind. I would love to be able to check on the condition of the pennant, holes, etc to reassure myself the centerboard is

Devil’s advocate here. Just tossing out an idea, probably worth what you just paid for it. I HAVE taken part of the top off the centerboard trunk, not to install a centerboard but because I

Jack, You have described well why I think it is safer to install it from the top. Monica Malone PsyD monicam@...
