Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues
One good thing is a T27 will sail quite well without the board. So this gives you the option of pulling the board. Launching the boat and enjoying her while sorting out the board on rainy cold

Re: Roller Furling Questions
There is one model I do not like. CDI. My reason is very specific. They use a self contained halyard. Under normal headsail rigging, the halyard and the luff rope share the load with the head stay. I

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues, Part II.
A picture would help. So my comment may be off base, but I saw this on a T27 before. The pennant should enter the front of the spool. I have scene them wound backwards where the pendant enters the

To be clear, I¡¯m talking about soft copper tubing, not a rigid copper pipe.

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues, Part II.
And one more idea to add on to my previous email: as John has suggested, you could put some form of diverter pushing the tube away from the engine; but this has the problem of at least potentially

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues, Part II.
Might you be able to post a photo so we can all better see the problem? To Pete¡¯s points: ? ?1. ?It sounds like moving the engine aft might work, but you would likely have to shorten the prop

Re: Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues, Part II.

Tartan 27 Centerboard Issues, Part II.
?Ok. So we spent the winter repairing the centerboard and reinstalled it a few days ago. An interesting experience to be sure. We used dyneema. The new problem is that, for whatever reason, the

Asymmetrical Spinnaker
I've been eyeing asymmetrical spinnakers for a couple of years. Any opinions on dimensions or what other boat models have similar sails (so I can browse the used market effectively)? I'm a little

Re: estimate, Tartan 27 mainsail
I too bought a Rolly Tasker main last year. They sent the sail to me with the wrong size bolt rope, but were very easy to work with to resolve the issue. Very satisfied. About 6 years ago I bought a

Re: Roller Furling Questions
Thanks for the reply. After posting this I called the Pompanette HQ and was transferred to a very helpful lady. I was able to order my parts. I hope the furler works well after I get them

We purchased a new main for Dawn (#663) in 2019 via National Sail (Rolly Tasker -- another off-shore loft). We also got several quotes from some of the more well-known domestic lofts, but pricing was
