I don't know if you guy's can make this out. But on the right side of the head, there is a seacock, if you could call it that. It's a through flow valve with a ball that is set in between two hoses. From what I can tell there is a hose that is terminating somehow into the hull. I'm going to have a h...

Thank you for the response guys! Tim, other than what I thought was a very straight crack :), my mast beam is okay. Do you think that it would be able to still deal with the rigors of offshore sailing taking into account it's age?

Thanks

Jeff

I thought I would add some visual aids in accordance with deck type III: Round raised section for the aft nav light from above: http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u241/zers/P1030174.jpg Aft nav light from astern: http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u241/zers/P1030208.jpg I think this is what is meant...

I went out to the boat today and took lots of pics, I won't show them all here. There are a couple that have questions associated with them so I'll post those. These are pics of my mast beam... Notice hull #194 http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u241/zers/P1030191.jpg See crack where the mast step b...

Thanks Tim.

Thank You Tim. Not to beat a dead horse, but would 12 AWG be sufficient for runs up the mast for navigation lights for instance? Especially if you were going to have multiple lights on one run, like a tricolor with a mast lamp. I don't know if I could do that or if it would be prudent, I'm just tryi...

When rerunning wire for normal use, ie..inside lights, running lights, nav gear. What guage of wire do we use? Do you run single strand or jacketed? Thanks in advance.

I hope this isn't a bad omen for me. I just got back from the boat. I wanted to take a few pictures for Britton's data for the boat. But the camera broke. So I thought to myself, hey we haven't seen the mast yet because last time i was down here there wasn't enough crew to move things to get to it. ...

Hey Britton, Sorry to wake a dead thread...That rhymes:) Hull#: 194 Who made: Pearson Year of: 1960 Original rig: Frac Original mast type: Straight Headliners: None Ballast, internal or external: How do you tell? Bilge, deep or shallow: How do you tell? Deadlights/ports: Bronze Maststep: Alumin Deck...

I really don't have a place to put all the "stuff" I know 'm going to find inside the boat. Do most marina's let you create a nice neat pile next to your boat while the work is being done, or do I have to spend more boat money on a storage locker?

Speaking of that, do you normally reuse the wood that made up the structure of the interior or do you go with newer and more durable?

Rachel, you've seen this name before? Here I was arrogant enough to think that this was my brilliant idea and no one thought of this before :) In all seriousness I thought the name was relatively unique, somebody must have beat me to the punch. I have done some searching and reading on this forum ab...

Thank You for the replies everyone. I know it doesn't say, but my name is Jeff. Brian, thank you, I might take you up on your offer in the next couple months. Triton #227, I wish it was that easy for me, but I have about $10,000 to spend initially and I don't want to watch it disappear as I'm having...

She is in a morbid state... But no delamination. Couldn't find any wet core issues. A4 has been mothballed properly. A fine selection of sails including the main with the Trident and hull #194. All the woodwork was taken off and stored in the cabin. Also has a furler, though I don't know what kind i...

Thanks for your responses. My issue is that the boat is on the hard, it hasn't been in the water in 3 years, I just don't want to put the boat in the water when the bilges could've been painted and the bottom done at least. Thanks you for your time.

Good Day Everyone, Since I found out what a Pearson Triton was through the adventures of James Baldwin, and how beautiful they are when brought to life by artists like Tim Lackey, I had to have one. I still can't believe I have one!!! I have no idea what to do first. Currently it's on the hard in Ha...
