Re: T27 Rudder issue
Hi Blu, Welcome. There's a FB group too. You might read through there for someone posting having a salvage rudder if nothing comes up here. I don't log on there very often so I can't see if there

Re: DIY Tartan 27 Mast Unstepping

Re: DIY Tartan 27 Mast Unstepping
Pretty gutsy Peter. Years back I had a similar problem in Mississippi; except, it was installing my mast after the boat arrived in a boatyard which only had power boats and no crane.? Some guys said
