Hi guys, Has anyone changed the thru hulls in their T26? I started that job this week. I am changing from flush mount to mushroom to increase strength of thru ...
Bill, I have not, but am planning on removing and glassing all thru-hulls near or below the waterline and going to outboard power. I was surprised at how small...
Bill, I see you have uploaded a number of pics to the yahoo page (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tartan26/ the Baby T folder in "Photos") ******** When you...

... Tod, The two reasons I replaced the knees were. a. when it rained hard I had dark brown water leaking out the bottome of the knees b. when I tried to...
Looking good, Bill! Was your anchor roller already on the boat when you bought her? Mine has none and I think I'll want to add one. Looks like you have a big...
Hi All, I just purchased a Tartan T-26 (Hull # 49 "BUZIOS") and I'm looking to start work on addressing some of her more glaring deficiencies. First on the...
Tod, My bow looked exactly like your when I bought it,I saw your pictures on your web sight. You are correct it did have a couple 10-32 machine screws bolted...
Dave , Welcome to the group, good luck with your 26. I use mast boot tape on Baby T, works well for me. Bill Dickinson ... to start work on addressing some of...
Bill, Thanks for the tip. I'll look around the marina for some boats that are using mast boot tape to see what the final application might look like. It may be...
Hey gang i have got a problem. The motor was removed from my boat when I bought it . Going to put an outboard on ,the question is ,I have a chance to buy a...
Hi, Jack The inboard on my boat is a Kermath 5 hp. I was on another 26 that had an Atomic One, which I believe is basically the same engine as the Kermath. ...
Jack, I think my comment about a few Vire 7 inboards being available was out of date. I re-visited the web page where I would have read that and do not see ...
Oh, also, the reference about the Kermath/Atomic One came from this (very long) page. To locate it, type Kermath in the "Find on this page" dialogue box: ...
Jack: So your boat is hull #65? That would make her a '73 edition, no? If you (or anyone else) haven't added your boat to the owner's registry, here is the...
A Tartan 26 has recently been listed on e-Bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=63730&item =4555555783&rd=1#ebayphotohosting ...
I was on that boat just today having a look. Do any of you know of weaknesses in the Tartan 26 that I should be aware of if I am considering purchasing the...
Sadly, I did not get the boat, but there are a couple of others for sale that I know of. What should a person expect to pay for a tartan 26 in fair condition?...
WOW! At $1751.00, I think that someone got a pretty good bargain. I bought my 1972 T26 "BUZIOS" over eBay for exactly $1000.00 more than that, but my boat had...
What a crazy day! It turns out I did get the boat after the high bidder changed his mind. So now I have to solve the rudder issue. Can anybody give me...
Hi Curtis, Congrats! I think that you're going to like your new boat. The Tartan 26 was built with 2 different rudder styles, so you'll need to be specific...
Wow, what a deal, Curtis! As I recall, the boat was in pretty good shape; probably better than mine (the one I ended up buying was much closer). The...
Hi, Dave Do you have any good side views of your rudder (on the hard) that you could upload to the pictures section? I've not seen that type; is it like the ...
Hi Tod, I'll be hauling out my T26 after I splash my Westerly Pageant that I've been refurbishing all winter. I expect that'll be sometime around the end of...
Great, thanks, Dave. Mine has the inner stay (and a staysail). I believe it is intended for use in heavy weather and is rigged temporarily. The stay comes...
FWIW, here is the sail inventory that came with my boat. Unfortunately, all are showing their age. Main 170% 150% 120% Staysail Storm Jib Spinnaker Tod ...
Tod, the rudder was outboard on a full skeg as near as I can tell. The clues I have to the disappearance are the tiller lying in the cockpit, and the empty...
