Re: T27 #12
Real concern would be rot under there. At this point, I'd plan on just pulling up the floor and replacing the under-floor structure, one way or another. If the mast is a half an inch lower than it was

T27 #12
Went up to Eden, Md the other day to look at my boat. It needs attention all over, and I'm still planning to save it. I thought the motor area would be my first concern, but when I looked at the mast

Re: Prop Nut Anode
I recently had this conversation with an experienced surveyor. He has been using a shaft brush on his own boats. Of coarse this requires a hull zinc and bonding system that many Tartans lack. He

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
Jeremy, T27 hulls were laid up with polyester resin and sometimes a slurry of material that includes various cloths and may or may not include asbestos . It looks to me that your stern tube came loose

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
If using a hammer and a block of wood you can move the tube back into position, I would clean and glass the inside with west. If the movment is very easy then sliding past and adding epoxy is ok. I

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
I just want to clarify and add one more thing. In the title I said I knocked the bronze tube loose. But that is an overstatement. It definitely move 1/4" or so -- but if I grab it and try to move it,
