Deja vu all over again?

[JohnDM]

hello, i've really been enjoying this forum--and learning and re-learning much about boat ownership. I spent more than a decade, some decades ago, in the business of boat gear, boats and boat magazines, but now in my dotage find myself the owner of a Tartan 27, with growing ambitions to go cruising again.

I've come across reference to another T27--Hygelig-- owned and modified for world cruising by Russ Cobb, but can't find what modifications Russ made, other than converting forepeak to storage. Does anyone have a bit more information on that? i have a couple of years in hand for boat alterations

regards
John

thanks, Gord. Yes, i've seen that thread and i'm interested in learning what modifications R. Cobb made for offshore sailing, though i expect they are just (un)common sense.I know he went to jib furling and although i have a furler on my boat, they have been a problem in the past, one i didn't enjoy offshore

geez, have you really got 23,500 posts!? You've been really active on this forum and no doubt helped quite a few people. Pleasure to meet you. (Looked at your images and 'found x' too)

Aloha and welcome aboard!
Gord has been the best source of information here on the forum forever.
Tartan 27 is one of my favorite boats.

thanks,Skipr. Just ended a boat cleanup session, preparing for a long, long (did I say long?) winter, and envying you in Hawaii. Thanks for the welcome
