As I approached hull speed, the drag created by the added weight of my 27 caused water to pile into the lazarette. I plugged the drain hole to prevent this inflow, but the drag of the flat transom was still a problem so I added a sugar scoop to extend the stern and give me a greater wetted surface. It did a wonderful job and a full knot of recovered hull speed by eliminating the drag of the Catalina's flat transom. I cannot post pictures on this site, but if you are interested I will E-mail them to you directly. David Hoyt Sovereignty Catalina 27 #65 In a message dated 12/31/2009 2:03:13 A.M.

Two questions: 1) Does anyone have any input re: Bowleys Quarters Marina? We're thinking of moving across from the Eastern Shore - it's over an hour closer to our house and somewhat less expensive. 2) We have a 1975 C27 that had an Atomic 4 (which expired and was removed & replaced by an outboard on a bracket). There's a drain hole in the transom (for the cockpit). It takes on water when we're motoring faster than a crawl - we plug it with a removable rubber plug but what if it's pouring rain while we're out there? Anybody have any ideas. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Splendid Solstice & a happy 2010!
