Re: replacement sink
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

Re: replacement sink
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

Re: replacement sink
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

Re: replacement sink
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.

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

Re: Centerboard lifting system
The center board on Carpe Diem was actually stuck in the up position when I acquired her 2 years ago. After prying it out I discovered that the steel core was made up of several pieces of mild steel.

Re: Centerboard lifting system
Tom, I have not had the misfortune of having to replace the centerboard pennant yet after 5 years of ownership (knock wood). I have seen the board extended down from the hull last season while she was

Re: Centerboard lifting system
Greetings, We have just had our first experience with a parted centerboard pendant----the diver cleaned some heavy growth off the bottom of the keel and the board began to "lower itself" on the pivot

Heavy Air
Hey everyone, Thanks for the input. I used to sail a San Juan 24, fin keel, turn on a dime, boat. But I am very familiar with a full keel boat, as I sail frequently on my friends Swifture... That's a

Re: bilge pump location
Lou, Normally it's on the port side (left) about where the centerboard pennant (wire/rope) goes. The Manual bilge pump (whaler) is typically in the cockpit with the pickup on the starboard (right)

bilge pump location
I have 1971 T27. Today when visiting to start spring prep noticed too much water in bilge. Used manual pump. I purchased her recently thus I'm not yet familiar, and could not locate electric bilge

Re: Heavy Air Question
Chris, I agree with what others have mentioned already. The T27 will not come about on a dime like my 19' Lightning or any fin keeled boat. I think that you were right to reef the main and furl the

Re: Heavy Air Question
I'm not very experienced in heavy air either, but haven't had the problem of not being able to tack when faced with similar conditions. I'm curious to hear the ideas from others. Some thoughts: could

Re: Heavy Air Question
I think you're just experiencing the normal behavior of a full keel boat. You have to have some speed before tacking otherwise she won't tack through. It maybe not as noticeable in light air but for

Okay, so yesterday here in Nashville we had winds at 25 knts, gusting to 35, sometimes 40 knts. Our lake here is skinny but long and rarely do we get a favorable wind direction that makes it fun to go
