Hi Harvey Its in the North yard. They just put it in the water at one of the repair docks. Its right next to that new Bavaria 37 for sale, (Oh if I only can hit that Lottery......). They have to finish up on some additional work. The boat has got a new Furlex Roller-Furler, new life-lines, new wind instrument and Windex, and a new Mast step with connecting plate; along with the glass work to close some damage under and on the side of the boat. The boat looks good. It should be ready for me this week. I also purchased a new goose-neck. The one that does not move up and down every time I tensioned the solid vang. That drove me crazy seeing the mast act like a see-saw when I released or tensions the vang...... (had to finally tie down the gooseneck so it wouldn't move). I no longer have to do that. He also repacked the stuffing box, so I believe I'm pretty much ready to go. The boat has everything new and as soon as I make sure it sails right, I should be set for quit some time.

Hi Andy, Who is doing the shrouds? Is it George over at Samalot Marine? I can't believe he would do that. He must be thinking of Hunter B&R rigs. Our mast is not a bendable mast. You can adjust shoud tension and rake, but not bending it. It has to stay in column in all four directions. The foreward shrouds supports this. Leading it aft would put more stress on the leading edge of the mast when going upwind. C-27's are known for their mast pumping at dock in high winds and this would certainly aggravate this condition. Take him on a walk over at the South docks and look at the other C-27's. . Where is your boat. I couldn't find it?

I am having the shrouds change on my boat (....along with a great deal of other work, Boat fell off its stanchions this past March) and while the marina was setting up the new shrouds, he placed the lower forward shroud at the same spot as the upper shroud. He now had the forward lower and the center upper on the same spot where I thought the upper should be alone, and the stern lower in the correct spot. I questioned him on this and he said that the center was designed to take the forward lower shroud and the center shroud and the stern lower shroud stands alone. I always though that all three had their on spot for hook-up. Am I wrong? The marina guy seemed to be sure of his answer and mentioned that he has done this hook-up on several Catalina 27's before. I hope this explanation makes sense with all the upper and lower words used!!!
