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Jack, I think my comment about a few Vire 7 inboards being available was out of date.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...
Thanks Tod! That's very interesting. I'm planning a daysail this Saturday, so I'll try to remember to take a look and see if I have those padeyes. If my boat...
Tod, thank you very much for the detailed drawing and pictures. Big help. Incidentally, my hull is #31 if I remember correctly. Now I have to get the boat...
Curtis, Has the previous owner verified that the rudder was lost while on the mooring and if so is the water shallow enough that you could recover the old...
Tod, I finally got down to my boat and looked it over for traces of that inner stay. I don't have the padeyes and I don't have an attachment point on the mast,...
With the boat on the hard and daytime temps in the mid-eighties, I loaded up the icebox with 110# of ice cubes (five 22# bags). They came to just over the...
I am going to mount the mast on the boat this week.I have a couple of questions if you guys don't mind. I was wondering if i had to level the boat for this to...
Jack, On my boat the foot of the mast has a + cut into it so it will only fit one place (on a matching +). I suppose it would be possible to cut more - lines ...
When i bought the boat it had no mast or rigging.The mast i bought form a boat yard that was close to what i need,there is no marks on the bottom of the mast...
Jack, Hard to know what to say as far as where to position the mast. Is yours the same length as the orginal (per the brochure: you can find it on my web page...
