Hi again everyone!!!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted but between sailing and maintence, it's been busy. For those of you that have the 27 PT and converted to a standard vang: How far back on the boom and how far up the mast did you place the bail (or whatever hardware you used)? Also, I am planning on adding t-tracks forward after I remove the vang, any suggestions on placement and length? I wanted to go 4 feet, but I'm not sure if that is too much. Last question. Those of you that have a sliding pole ring on the mast, how far up from the deck did you go? I have searched the archives, files and pics but have not been able to gather to much info on the placement. I took the 30 year old head out this week... I will NEVER do that again! I am hoping to post some pics on the refurb, it is going slow, but we have been doing quite a bit of racing and cruising. Thanks again for your suggestions and answering all those pre-purchase questions last year. I love this boat!!! Also, will there be a Caltopia in Alameda again this fall. I want to put it on the calander early so that I can attend. Thanks everyone! Susan Go Dawgs Go Cal 27 PT #13

Susan, I went to the yard today (finally 10 whole days without snow and a balmy 38 degrees). The bail on the boom is 60" from the gooseneck. The bail on the mast is at the top of the track for the cabin top (sea photo). I re-worked mine for an 8:1 purchase and routed it back to the cockpit. I still have end-boom sheeting. When I take the cover off, I'll let you know about the ring.

WOW!! Thanks for braving the elements!!! That is a big help. We have decided to lay down some forward genoa tracks and for that to happen that dang PT vang has to go. Maybe it's me, but it really is a b^%#h to figure out how to adjust it properly. Besides, we wanted nice and easy on the boat, especially while racing. Luckily a 2-27 moved in a few slips down and I have been checking out his setup, I think I figured out where the rest of the new hardware needs to go. Thanks again for the help, mucho appreciated!!!
