It gives me great pleasure to announce that with Paul's entry we have 6 J/27's registered for the NOOD at Larchmont and therefore have earned a one design...
Would anyone have specs for a two point lifting bridle for a J/27. I had one fabricated out of stainless wire for another boat I owned by simply copying...
A few times that we lifted my J/27 on a yachtlub hoist we used two nylon straps and 2 big shackles that I borrowed from the past class president, Kurt Wiess....
By the powers vested in me as Northeast Governor of the J/27 Class, I hereby designate the NOOD at Larchmont to be the Long Island Sound J/27 Championships! I...
How far back from the clew should the spin sheets be tapered? My first block is a non ratcheting block at the front of the pushpit and then I lead up to a...
I got my tapered spin sheets at layline -- 63 feet total length (44 feet 3/8 inch XLS, 19 feet of stripped spectra with an IC splice). I have the older...
After a wild Lake Ontario crossing this weekend, I lost the motor cover off my outboard. It is a late 80s Honda 5 horse. The shaft is dark blue and the...
Need to clear out the garage/sail loft:) Mains (all with bolt rope) Melges Dacron w/full cover bag - will need battens - good Nuclear mylar w/full cover bag -...
More like a number #4. I have a headfoil and have never had it up. I would think that it would be better to trim it to the rail. It has never been used! Eric...
Its getting to be last minute, but I'm still toying with the idea of trying to get to Larchmont for the NOODs. I have no trailer. Anyone in the mid-Atlantic...
Sounds nice and light, strong and very little stretch. I like the idea of the IC splice to join the two different lines to reduce cost. What diameter spectra...
Anyone have a good arrangement for the main sheet block and tackle set- up? I currently have the Harken mid-size windward sheeting car which I love. But then...
I have the Harken 6:1 set up pictured in the "Random Boat Parts" album http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J27Sailors/spnew/view/966d?i=49 It works fine for me. The...
I have exactly the setup you are considering and it works great. Consists of a swivel base mounted on 3/16" aluminum plate on the aft side of the traveller. I...
I'm sorry to say that I have been unsuccessful in finding semi- affordable boat transport and will not be bringing Miss Trixie #33 to the Larchmont NOODs. I...
He is right. You do need 2 axles but you don't really need to spend $4500. If there is a landscape or utility trailer dealer around you, check into just a...
If anyone is interested in building their own trailer or having one built, I have some decent plans I reverse engineered from a triad trailer for a J27....
I am looking to get a new #1. Has anyone had any experience with North 3Dr Headsails? I have been successful racing on other boats with 3Dl sails, but heard...
Original 3dr's were a disaster with software glitches creating horrible creases etc. however my local North rep is now saying they are good to go, and he has...
I installed the harken #332 3:1/6:1 mainsheet system with a standup toggle on the pre-existing windward sheeting car. I end spliced the 9.5mm NE Rope Salsa...
We used 3/16 in spectra. BUT, Layline has a new rigger & no longer does IC splices, they prefer to strip lines. It's the same principle but probably costs a...
I also want to replace my tiller. I went to the Layline site, but could not find a J27 tiller or a custom tiller section. Did you contact them directly? It...
Layline per phone conversation does not stock J-27 tillers. The rep said that he would contact their supplier and see if one could be made.I'm waiting for the...
I replaced my old tiller with a new one which a friend of mine, who is a carpenter, made up for me to my own design using teh lossely teh old units dimensions....
Pete, I just bought a new 3DL and it is beautiful. I just went ahead and authorized to have a new main made using 3DR technology. We will see how it turns out....
