Hulls, Sail-drives, Keels and Electrical

A good week with fresh input from various owners around the US. The issues reported this week relate to keel alignment and other keel problems, a hull splitting underway (see previous post), swim ladder failures and of course the electrics & sail-drive related electrolysis that started all this.

In my own situation I am pleased that we have some positive progress, but alas Fairport Yachts remain silent.

Thanks to those that contacted me this week with your Tartan issues and frustrations. Keep them coming in and keep spreading the word. Clearly the word is starting to percolate that there is a site that allows our Tartan build issues to be heard and shared without a single owner feeling like they have to expose their boat (and hull#) as a 'problem' boat on the other sites. Given your input and positive feedback this blog will expand to include other serious non-sail-drive issues Tartan owners are having. I'll report back on key issues and will be happy to network and connect owners that have common issues. Already I have put together owners that have shared problems with rotting cabin soles, short zinc life and other issues that people are struggling with individually. Email Me Your Tartan Issues
