Macwester Marine sold the hull moulds of the 28 to Atlanta in the late 1970’s so they are substantially the same.
Amazing how many “keel” references the search picks out from the past journals! What a great resource we now have. 👍
Thanks for sharing. Looks like it’s coming on. Or should I say coming off. Look forward to pictures of the finished job.
Hi Stephen,
In the technical articles there is a rigging plan for the Malin but that doesn’t give sail size. In the 1980 autumn journal there is an article about replacing sails on a Malin Christala. The sails were purchased from Jeckells that supplied Macwester when they were built. Jeckells still have all the original sail plans. If no other Malin owner has measurements Jeckells may help.
Hi Robert, I commented on your Facebook post. Have a look in the Technical library on the members page. If you search on the 27 class there is quite a bit of info on them.
Great pictures and thanks for sharing. Shame you are thinking of selling her. If you spend your time out sailing you wont have to worry about the headroom. Lol
Great looking boat Philip. I have had a Seaforth with a BMC engine now 9 years. Happy to help with info on my ownership. When you get time look at the technical library and read some of the past Association journals. There are a number of Seaforth articles. (Many by me! 🙂
Hi Charles, my Seaforth has a BMC so can’t advise on a Volvo. However on a calm day with a reasonably calm sea I just motored in my Seaforth keeping an eye on the engine revs and boat speed. There comes a point when extra revs don’t actually make the boat go faster. To me that is the optimum point and I just knock the engine back a couple hundred RPMs now when using the motor.
I feel your pain trying to get someone to work on it. The yard lead time on my insurance repair was 8 months during the warmest summer in years. 😕
Hi Peter, I have two strops on Seabirds Pinmill mooring. These are shackled to the eye of the buoy at one end and the other end through fairlead to the Sampson post. I tie the slack in the loop up with a separate piece of line to stop it slipping off.

Hi Paul, it’s easier to have our discussion via text on this one. I’ve sent you a picture of Seabirds set up.
