Hey Greg... Totally makes sense. Can't wait to give it a shot. Thanks for the info.

Apparently it really helps in light air sailing as well. I guess allowing you to create a nicer shape in the sail. I've only sailed on a newer Beneteau with one, never a T-27. Chris - In light air the

Hey Armando, I sail by myself mostly and getting to the mast to fetch up the topping lift can be a hairy affair, as you know, in any kind of weather. I'd rather not attach a bunch of blocks on my boom

Why is the rigid vang better? Why the topping lift was a problem? just curious hull 555 armando --- "A. Chaudhuri" <amalc@...> wrote:

Yes, I use one. A huge improvement over the topping lift particularly in light air. Installed it myself, about a three hour job including breaking a tap tool. The boat still has the original "roller"

Hi, Anyone here use a rigid vang on their T27? I know it looks really out of place but I would love to get rid of the topping lift set-up on my boat and this seems to be a really slick option. I was

I am currently doing mine in place on hull #116. When finished, the only difference will be that the gussett will be sealed into the deck and the chainplates will be on the outside of the assembly

Brian, I believe Paul out in the Northwest somewhere had a picture posted for awhile or maybe he emailed it to me. In my posting a few weeks ago on replacing/rebuilding my chain-plates I may have led

Brian, The extra lowers will prevent pumping of the mast, allow for better tuning and most of all give some added strength. I really like the added safety. Also wire sizes were changed to ?” for

Matthias, It looks like there is an extra lower shroud on your boat. Any idea on why that was done? From what I can deduce, spreading the shrouds out lengthens the base of the "triangle" formed by the

Hi Brian, Here is a link to a bunch of T27 pictures including some that show the external chain plates. http://sailtheworld.de/?page_id=154 <http://sailtheworld.de/?page_id=154&album=3&gallery=4>

Hi gang, I'm working on my chainplates next. I'm trying to find some pictures of externally mounted chainplates and the internal backing plates. If anyone would care to share what size chainplates and

Did anyone ever post pics of this? I have hull #71 and this is my next major headache/project. I think external chainplates would make the walkway nicer as well. chainplates. Boy am I glad I cut the

Yes, another vote as well. Both types, Cetol Lite and Cetol have lasted 5 year, with a light scrubbing and single coat in year 3, on my T27 in the Long Island area. Also pretty good for wood deck

'nuther vote for Cetol Natural. I used the Sikken's cetol product this summer to do all my toe rails, hand rails, etc... and it was so easy to work with. Have used varnish on my other boats...

I have to also recommend Cetol. I used the light tint with the gloss and it looks great is maintenance free and resistant to weather and abrasion. ambler hull #555 --- brian@... wrote:

Thanks, I have used cetol in the past with mixed results. Just didn't seem to hold up too well on the older wood. I've already started using the epoxy on the hatches so I think at this point I'm

I've been very happy with Cetol Natural and Cetol Gloss. I get lots of compliments on what I have restored so far. It seems to require maintenance a couple times a year. The nice thing about Cetol is

Rich, It sounds as if you are getting along in your improvements list for "Lola". While I have not personally used any of the 2 part varnishes that are out there I hear from others on another boating

I actually have some that the PO had bought but never installed. I'll dry fit it and if it works find out what it is...btw I have all the rub rails sanded and somewhat repaired. I made my own
