Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
You can build your own if you are at all handy with fiberglass and wood tools.? Make a female mold of two sides, one being the mirror of the other out of a flat surface MDF, put in some steel

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Well, that¡¯s an absurd price. A T27 in reasonable condition can be had for that! Tartan should work on that number. To start from scratch and have a steel plate cut to spec may be $400. Some

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
That last message ran away from me while I was still typing. Tartan no longer has the prices posted on their website, but you can request the price online. My recollection is that the price was closer

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Yeah, When mine was banging, I thought that the pin would be transfering the force to the fiberglass around the pin tubes. That was worrying.

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Thanks John. That would be a reasonable price. My board was clunking side to side. Found the pin was 1/2¡± and not 5/8¡± as specified. Hope that is the fix. Otherwise, I¡¯ll try your fix. -Eddie

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
I bought one about 8 years ago and I think it was $250 or $300 +shipping. Also, My boat had the common problem of a banging centerboard, I cured that easily by inserting strips of rubber using 5200 on

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Does anyone know the centerboard¡¯s designed maximum thickness? Drawings show a 7/16¡± plate, but no final dimension. what might a new board cost? Thanks- EB Hull #471

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Hi Scott, I was just up there last Wednesday for the 6:30 pm races.? They usually do 2 starts; one for spinnaker (6:30) and one for non-spinnaker (6:35).? They also allow boaters from other clubs to

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Hi Scott,I have done a lot of work on the center board over the years, including building a new? one of my own design. I think you will probably find the steel plate inside the board has rusted,

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Caleb, Thanks very much for the response. Is Nyack still racing Wednesday evenings? I was just telling my friends that whoever is coming in last over there, must be getting tired of it and we could go

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Hi Scott, I do most of my boating across the river from Tarrytown, at Nyack Boat Club.? Howdy neighbor. If your boat was kept in the Sound for 2 years continuously I have no doubt that the

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Hull #1 was the only T-27 built with a bronze core centerboard so if there was any damage to allow moisture and it rusted and expanded inside it could be really stuck. It happened to my hull #130 and

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Yeah, can confirm that the centerboard is poking out because stuff is getting clogged up up in there. Maybe I'll go Dutch and move to leeboards. And also had the pivot pin replaced and the board

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
If you want to remove the board, No need to drop the length of the board, only the width. Just remove the pin and drop straight down.

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Previous discussion has talked about ramming a metal yardstick up in there, and I'm currently in the yard with about 4 inches of centerboard peeking out. A pretty thick layout all about helps but it

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
Years ago I swapped out my centerboard with a new one from the factory. If it is still tight, I would drill a hole in the top of in case (cabin sole) then pound it downwards. easy to epoxy the hole
