Hello Gang,

? I spent some time this week and tonite working on the site.? I apologize for the time it's taking me.? I got some documentation online that I found in the salvaged files.? This is really interesting stuff and you might peek at it.? I'm working on the boat pics...... and then I'll tackle the forums.

?

Synopsis:

- Encountered technical and capability issues with hosting at godaddy.com.? Moved site to in-house servers to remove issues and make it easier to edit/maintain.

- Spent some time digging through the files I received from Ken.? Starting to sort them.

- Removed Frontpage related structural content that is no longer needed.

- Identified and sorted technical documents into a quasi-library.

- Created a "specs" menu and put technical stuff online.? Includes rigging, sail plans, sail trim, owners manual, review, and polar sail diagrams.? Polars are a bonus and suggest the boat can hit 7 knots.? Gives very explicit guidance on heel angles.? Takes some staring at to get the hang of reading them.

?

Planned path:

- Sort boat pictures into Interior, Hulls, and Misc.? Create web-galleries for each.? Goal is to share the photography we have.

- Begin to rebuild owner registry tool.? UGH!? Plan to allow a "boat pic" by each owner.?

- Research forums.? Most stuff wants to hijack the site and I just want a simple forum without a content management system.? Suggestions welcome.

?

If you have engine documentation and forward it I will add it to the library for others.? I also plan to post the centerboard documentation that I have.? :)

?

Thanks again for your patience and I apologize that it isn't more alluring.?

?

Oh btw, the previous site forums are lost from what I understand.? If someone wants to dig through wayback.org you may be able to recover some of the content.? Also, digging in google's cache might return some of the content also.? Sooner is better than later.? Just search for Tartan27owners.com and then click "cached" to see the cached content.? If you do manage to abscond something please put it in an email and send it to me.

Brian,
Sorry your t-27.com newsletter got held up.  I'm not sure why Yahoo held it as spam.  I just noticed it after the holiday weekend (another
reason to have an alternate site/repository of information).
I have not tried wayback.org to see if any of the old forum data is
available but my last attempts to do so with another archive facility
proved fruitless as only the main pages were archived.
Keep up the good work.

I downloaded some forum software early last week.? I'm planning to install it and see how it goes.? It looks very similar to the old site and offers more control.

?

In the meanwhile, I took my ASA bareboat and coastal cruising courses over the weekend.? Got to sail on a T-37.? Was nice.? Very familiar feeling to our 27's.? Of course 2 feet of additional beam and another 10 feet of cabin make alot of difference.... but it was still interesting.? Gave me some ideas on how to do some stuff on our boats.? I learned quite a bit from taking my ASA courses.? I took the basic keelboat a month and a half ago, and then I took the combo bareboat/coastal cruising course.? In theory I'm certified to rent a boat anywhere that recognizes the certification.? Most charter companies recognize ASA.? One of these days I'll get a chance to spend a week sailing somewhere else and it beats trying to take my boat there.

?

I also found an interesting Maptech site.? I'll post the link later to the t-27.com site.? It is freeboatcharts.com or something like that.? Anyhow, it has a nice viewing tool and you can print charts.? You can download charts for anywhere in the US for free.? Just select the area by map or name and then pick your charts.? It might take some real time on a slow connection, but none-the-less it's free.? I like to download charts for areas I used to live or want to sail in and then look around.? The free software is pretty nice.? It lets you plot a route and gives you all your coordinates.
