F_L 30 #1 Posted October 16, 2018 Anyone know of a site with more activity than this one? https://sites.google.com/view/j27-sailboat-class-site/home It looks like I may be parting out a really sad J27 and need to find a home for all the pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scroll down: I think the prior webmaster cut and pasted what was on the old website to the fresher one. I doubt much has changed since June. - Stumbling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F_L 30 #3 Posted October 16, 2018 OK, Thanks. SA might be the best contact point for people looking for J27 parts. Hell, I might have to buy an ad. FL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stumblingthunder 565 #4 Posted October 17, 2018 I have heard there is another site, is/was somewhat sponsored by J Boats that is more an owners site: www.jowners.org As I am not an owner, have not been there. - Stumbling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F_L 30 #7 Posted October 19, 2018 Thanks everyone, With only ~200 boats built it's hard to find a critical mass of J27 owners. I have a J27 and think it's the best of the old school J's. I got "salvage rights" on another almost sunk J27 but repairs will exceed it's value. Hence the need to find a market for the spars, pulpits, etc. I really hate to cut this boat up but maybe it's parts can keep another 27 on the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikehoyt 3 #9 Posted January 28, 2019 Note that my old Nut Case web site for J27 #150 is back up and running in a new location. http://www.hoytsailing.com/J27Web/Index.html The Projects page documents the initial process of re-coring the deck in several places and may be of interest. This was one of the links on the wiki page. Mike Persistence, 1987 Frers 33 #16 www.hoytsailing.com 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
