A few pics of the little bit of progress on the restoration of Pretentious (fka Terrier). just before the boat is covered, minus lifelines/stanchions: ...
Jack, BTW, I made a mistake about the + cut. There is only a longitudinal cut in the base of my mast. It must've been a different boat that I saw the + cut. ...
...my 26 was to sinking in so many ways. Hoses for the engine cooling nearly chafed through, a sink drain hose made of unreinforced thin rubber, the leaky keel...
Got in a little time on "Pretentious" tonight, pulling junk off: Stripped off some naugahyde-type stuff and removed the cover panel (over the hull-deck joint)...
Tonight I got the chance to spend a few hours removing stuff on the boat and among the things removed were the ports-with-no-screws. Turns out they were just...
...Albatross or Millstone are sounding more and more appropriate as names for this boat than Pretentious, hehehe. Got the head and holding tank out as well as...
I know this is a long shot, but... Does anyone have measurements for a T-26 cradle? I'm looking to haul out my T-26 and drag her up to my house to work on...
Dave, Last summer I took measurements and photos of a cradle that I thought looked pretty nice. I'll have to dig around to see if I can find my notes. The ...
Tod, Now that's a smart looking cradle (and the boat is not too bad either :-)! Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. If it wouldn't be too much trouble,...
Dave, We're in luck! I was beginning to think I'd have to report that I couldn't find my notes on the cradle, but I found them! I'll see if I can turn them ...
Tod, Thanks! I really appreciate it. I'm sure that this is going be a big help. Dave Gouge BUZIOS - Tartan 26 htmills@... wrote: Dave, We're in luck! I...
Dave, I sketched up the cradle. www.todspages.net/images/LF-T26cradle.jpg You will see a couple of minor differences between what I drew and what the ...
Hi, We are considering buying a Tartan 26 and would love to be able to read the Coastal Cruising article that is posted in the Photos section of this group....
Tod, Sorry I took so long to get back with you. I shot down to the coast on Friday to do some fishing and didn't get back until late last night. I can't thank...
....tonight I got the traveler off and laid it about where I expect would be a good place... Got those remaining pesky hidden nuts (turned out to be three, not...
Tod, I like your ideas about the placement of the traveler. I've been pondering on that all summer. My T26 doesn't currently have a traveler and I've been...
Hi folks, soooo... what the heck is going on inside those chainplate knees anyway? Mine look like the ones in Tods pictures of his (thanks for sharing Tod)....
Thanks a lot Bill, is that your new construction or the original? Can you also tell me whether the chainplate is through-bolted to that wood or screwed on?...
Dave, The big thing with adding a bridge deck is what it does to cabin access: a step is needed at about the same height as the factory threshold. One 26,...
Curtis I would guess that the knees are about the same construction that Tartan used on this 27: http://www.goodoldboats.com/PROJECTS/T27%20Chainplate.htm Tod ...
A smidgen more progress. Cut into the sole a bit. Talk about filthy, caked in old engine oil and other crud. I expected it, though. After all, when I first was...
A couple of early pictures of a couple of mock ups (future firewood): http://www.todspages.net/images/LF-cockpit.jpg Traveler to be mounted along aft edge,...
Bill, Is there anything in particular you would like to see about the spreaders? Mine are off the mast in a box at the moment but I could certainly dig them ...
My job is to make all other progressers look exceedingly fast and skillful! Okay. Finding one: particle board paneling (I had a few sheets in the house when I...
Continuing the mock-ups: Tonight I adjusted the height of the platform covering the porta-pot/head to what I think will work. I tried a couple of heights and...
