Firstly thanks for an excellent website!
Having owned an E27 for some four years now, based in the Isle of Man, I've read with interest all the threads regarding these boats whilst I've been continuously upgrading her.
Work so far: new sails including roller reefing, new standing & running rigging, new upholstery, spray hood fitted, full engine rebuild including relocation of raw water seacock (no more lying on the cabin sole trying to open the valve!), new heads & pipework, hull stripped and Coppercoated.
My next project is to be upgrades to deck hardware. Has anybody upgraded the standard winches to self tailers and if so how did you remove originals? I've had a look in the port hand locker already for access but the starboard winch fixings appear to be behind the interior liner?
Also, does anyone have any photos of the genoa track locations/fixings for smaller sails? Trithena's genoa isn't huge and as a result I struggle to get the sheeting angles with the standard track positions well aft.
Looking forward to your comments.
Phil Adams.
