    I have a ’69 Tartan 27. I’ve gone through the boat pretty thoroughly i.e. new chainplates, diesel, standing rigging etc. etc.. I bought a new centerboard from Tartan and it won’t be long before I have it in the air (boat lift) to install it. Questions: Best pivot pin? (size, ss?) The other question I have is the actual centerboard/pennant connection….. the board hardware to the actual pennant. (1/8 ss cable)
    I still have the old board. The pivot hole bushing is good, but the pennant hole area was a disaster. Seawater infiltration/neglect. We had to pry it out…. was well worth the time to lift/inspect. Anyways…. I want to install the new board properly with the right hardware. Have a list of suggested parts?
    There was no hardware or connection to the old pennant when I removed the board, so I have no idea what caused the damage/destruction of that portion of the centerboard.
    We sail out of Eastport Maine…
    In advance, Thanks

      Gerd,
      Sorry I did not see your comment until now.
      Even though we’ve owned our 1967 T 27′ for 10 years now I am pretty much in the dark as to how to best replace the pivot pin and lifting fittings for the centerboard. We’ve been quite lucky with our centerboard and it has given us very few problems (knock wood).
      There is a Tartan 27′ owners group on Yahoo called T27Owners that has about 400 members and at least a few of them have gone through the pain and fun of dealing with replacing the centerboard and it’s associated rigging. I’m sure they would be happy to share their collective experiences with this important project. You would need to sign up for a (free) Yahoo ID, if you don’t have one already, and select the ‘Groups’ icon and find ‘T27Owners’. There are lots of photos of other T27’s and the projects that other owners have undertaken.
      I’ve heard that the point where the lifting pennant attaches to the centerboard can be just one of the problems.
      I hope this helps.
      Caleb D.

        I am a former owner of 265 Skywalker which I sold back to
        Chris Antipas. I always thought the Association web site was
        terrific, in large part due to you. I can’t seem to find the site again. If your receive this, please e-mail back the website.
        Thanks Caleb. Thanks for doing a great job.
