... Thanks. I've got the boat out of the water right now so should not be to hard to weigh the damn thing. We did put a mositure meter on it and the upper...
Dan Please send pics and detailed instructions. I may be forced to do something similar as I will not be launching at a marina this year but at a government...
Hey Dylan, I made a 2x4 A-frame gin pole from about $40 worth of stuff from Home Depot. It was real easy to make and worked like a charm. I will dig up the...
Close, but if this is an '87 boat then the J stands for October. See: http://boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm David Tesser, 63127 (hull 41) ... From:...
OK So I must be a bit ense here. How does 63127 turn into Hull #41? What does the 687 mean? (I believe is a 1987 boat) In this case TSP70150J687 - so is...
I'm confused too so I found another link. I think your boat is hull #150, built by TPI Composites in October 1986 and is from the 1987 model year. So your...
The boat we have purchased (hull 150 I believe) has been listed with the inventory I will show below. This was all factored into the purchase price with the...

You will need to decide if you want to keep the rollerfurling. It shortens the luff and reduces the size of the headsail. Your older jibs may not fit due to...
Thanks Leo I believe (hope) that the harkin system allows drum to be removed so I can use the other headsails. Any new headsails would not be roller furling....
So far we have 4 firm (Kabbel, Revenge, Jebap, Miss Trixie) and one likely (Thin Float). Just two more and we will definitely get a start, although the...
Is this a common problem on the J27? I think I have that problem on at least one stanchion. Mike Nur Case #150 ... thought ... the ... to ... cutting ... ...
First post to the group. Thanks to all for the informative ideas. I have learned a lot. I have this problem on four of my stanchions. I opted for the less ...
Having bought#99 late last year and working for 3 months steady on it (removing wet core in some areas)I have cleaned the bilge and got an oversize dinghy pump...
Can you post pictures? This is interesting. I used the wet areas around one or two stanchions as a tool to drive my purchase price way down. However it seems...
Peter...as I have a lot of water getting into the boat, mostly coming down the mast, I installed a small bilge pump and connected the hose to the cockpit...
I think the core is about 1" thick...at least it is around the chainplates where I had to replace about a foot square piece of foam core to stop water from...
The core tapers out to the toe rail and ends at about the outside edge of the stanchion base. Probbaly 1" thick maximum. It is easier to fill with solid epoxy...
The core stops about 1 1/2 inches away from the toe rail, where the deck has a crease. The toe rail is 3M5200 and through bolted and its solid glass to solid...
David You have just made my day! I was worried that any wet core removal ight potentially involve toe rail - and that is not an area I care to touch! Thanks...
FYI. Raymarine is offering a US$100 rebate if you buy the ST1000 in January. http://raymarine.com/Default.aspx?site=1&SECtion=43&p Best, Paul fistiki ... ...
I found that small allen wrenchs work well for digging out balsa core, particularly if it is not rotten and still stiff. A drill chuck is able to get a good...
I'm templating the keel this weekend, and I wondered if anyone knows whether the leading adge as it meets the bottom of the keel should be a straight profile...
I beleive it should be a straight leading edge according to the designer, although the rounded profile should give you less tip vortices and help maintain flow...
The lowest end Simrad units are two thirds the price and come with a wired remote. The lowest end cannot take NEMA input but the middle level pilot is the...
Looks like my last message did not post, herewith again............ Today I found that the port side of the keel was very fat in the last 1/2 of the chord. The...
