The walk through mast support makes the boat accessible on the road and makes the ladder useable from the ground.

I do mine single handed in twenty minutes. Its More if were talking boom and running rigging but 20 for the mast. http://www.catalina27.org/wingtip/mastsys/mastsys.html No need to climb anything and the hardest part physically is standing the whisker pole on end. It requires a tabernacle or deck hinge but it is very secure. Ive done it in high winds and I even had a non sailing 225 lb nephew jump boat amidships to clear a line a roll the boat 10-15° with the mast at 45° angle.

How do you get the mast up/down? Don On Dec 7, 2007, at 7:54 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Or you can purchased a late model C-27 and a new trailer for less than the cost of a used C-270 alone. I purchased my 1988 C-27 Wing keel and tiller model with a new Mercury 9.9 4 stroke for $10500 last year. The motor alone was worth $2000. I put in on a brand new 10000 lbs., dual axle Trail-Rite trailer made specifically for the C-27 for around $7000. The only things I gave up are a walk through, wheel steering and diesel inboard. However, with the outboard, I have the whole engine compartment for storage and boat is lighter for trailering. I pull the boat with a 2005 Nissan Titan 4X4 Crew cab with no problem.
