Anyone thinking about the 2027 SHTP?

Have you thought much about mainsail handling? I’m thinking about putting slides on the main for my Olson. I know the hardcore racers will roll their eyes, but honestly, getting the main down and stowed can be a handful, even on the light days

I have had good success with low friction slugs in the bolt rope slot on the O29 - the gate and fastening it is the tricky part
 
Your picture of the Moore inside can provide me some information. How tall is the door that the Moore rolled through? Any special clearance issues?

I may have access to inside storage, however the door is 8’ 0”. Can i get the Moore through? Plenty of room after it is in.

Thanks

Good question - I'm not sure and would have to measure - the door mine went through is over fifteen feet tall.
 
I'm planning on the 2027 with my Ranger 33, out of Newport OR. I'm about 95% ready using the 2025 SER as my punch list. Because of other issues I hardly did any sailing this summer so I am seriously lacking significant ocean sailing experience but hope to get a few sails in this fall and of course all of next summer.

Hi @Desmond, Post a pic of your boat when you get a chance. I used to live on my Ranger 33 (Chinook Wind) when I lived in Seattle.
 
Pulled the primaries off my Olson 30 today and noticed one is mounted about 2–3 inches farther forward than the other. Looks intentional — I think they did it so the sheet tail would line up with the cam cleat. Anyone else seen this setup before? Seems extremely odd. I asked the previous owner about it, but he said he never noticed.

Or, it could be within location tolerance for the Santa Cruz era. Similar to the Moore asymmetry, or vee berth bulkhead location in the O 30's.
