Hello sailors, Rob sends New Year's greetings from Jacksonville, Florida. I am the new owner of a 1962 T27, hull #8 currently sitting on the hard at Wikander's on the Eastern shore of Maryland. It's got a Yanmar, that's mostly all I know about it. Bought it sight unseen off Craigslist from the yard owner in October.? Hoping to get up there asap, as work has finally slowed.? I also own a 1974 Allied Chance 30, currently in the St. John's river. Recently struck by lightning, now full of holes. Have temporarily patched the leaks, waiting until I see the Tartan to make a decision how to proceed.?

Welcome! When you say Saint John's River, where is that exactly? Would've to see pics of your Tartan if you have any.... Took quite a chance buying "sight unseen"....I'm not making the deal on mine till spring when I get a second chance to inspect her...(#364)..1968.

Welcome, Rob. ? Interesting situation you¡¯ve got. ? I¡¯m pretty sure your Hull #8 has, or at least at one time had, something pretty rare: ?a full bronze centerboard. ? I honestly don¡¯t know much of the pros and cons, but the later glass ones have certainly had their issues with rust and delamination, but neither of those would apply to a full bronze board. ?Good luck, and welcome!

St John's runs north through Jacksonville,? Florida.? Allied is in Green Cove Springs,? about 20 miles south. Haven't but a Christmas card from the yard owner with a picture of the Tartan. I'll try to upload it. Btw the price was right, so I took a chance.?
