CD 27 Backstay & Heads

Post by Richard G. »

Can anyone tell me the length of the backstay on a CD 27? Also what heads are most folks using in the CD 27?

Thanks,

Richard

Do you still need the length of a CD 27 back stay. I have my mast in yard and can measure it for you if needed.

Hello Richard,
I installed a Wilcox Crittenden - Wilcox HeadmManual Head when I purchased my CD 27 two years ago. Its small and compact and fits into the head area of a 27 fine. Wilcox has a good name and they are quite expensive but this manual model cost me 150$.
