    What parts do you need? Many things may be available from the original suppliers.  Is it a Profurl roller-furler? Talk to them. A Yanmar diesel? See your mechanic.  Selden, Forespar, Harken, Lewmar and  Schaefer supply many builders with their products. Others may know which suppliers Hunter used for what.

    Connais pas le mot “boot” dans un sens voilier. Surtout au pluriel.  Le vit de mulet serait electrolysé peut-être? Une photo serait utile pour montrer ce que tu veux sans avoir besoin de vocabulaire.

    Surprising that the class rules do not provide the dimensions, but refer to a Manufacturer’s Manual registered with World Sailing. It looks like you need to contact a licensed RS400 sailmaker to find out what the dimensions are. The class rules seem to indicate that different sizes are possible. http://www.rsaerosailing.org/docs/820884060.pdf

    They don’t make it easy.

    Qu’est-ce qu’il te faut? Il doit y avoir pas mal de pièces détachées sur un Trapper 500.  Puisque la production s’est terminée en 1987 elles ne seraient probablement plus disponibles; il faudrait trouver qqch qui marche à la place du matériel d’origine.  D’après ce site le Trapper 500 a la même coq que les C&C 27 mk I.  Tu pourrais peut-être trouver des pièces sur eBay ou Craigslist aux USA ou au Canada, mais ça dépendrait de ce dont tu as besoin.

    What do you need? There are a lot of spare parts on a Trapper 500.  Since production ended in 1987 parts are probably no longer available; you will need to find something that works to replace original parts. According to this site the Trapper 500 has the same hull as the C&C 27 Mk I.  You might be able to find parts on eBay or Craigslist in the USA or Canada, but that would depend on what you need.

    Generally you rake out the keel-hull joint to remove any loose material, mix up some epoxygoop with microballoons, fill the groove, smooth it down and paint it. This depends however on how bad the joint is. Sometimes the joint is so bad it requires dropping the keel, redoing the keel bolts and then re-attaching and re-bedding the keel. Photos would help us tell the difference.

    McMaster-Carr is supposed to have stuff like that.  Have you looked there?

    Looking at the drawing of the Cal 30 here on Sailboatdata will help you.  The Mark I listing gives the dimensions for P and E, for example.  P is the height of the mainsail from the boom to the black band at the head. E is the length of the mainsail on the boom. If you mark the distance from the boom to the waterline on a piece of scrap paper you will find that it is about half the length of the boom. That means that the boom is about 7′ up from the waterline. Adding the P dimension of 30′  gives you a rough air draft of 37′.  Maybe add two feet for the actual masthead casting, wind instruments and antenae, and you get 39′.

    Is this it?

    The name and size seem about right. The information here shows it as a sloop with a fin keel and spade rudder.  Helmsman could have built them with different rigs at different times.

    Have you tried contacting a Dehler dealer, or Dehler in Germany? https://dehler.com/gb/

    US Sailing is supposed to have polars available for most designs.  Have you contacted them?

    Doing a bit of sleuthing shows that Starboard Yachts was purchased by Hake Yachts, which bought Island Packet. Island Packet may have more information but it is doubtful they have parts for a boat that was last built in 1991. Talk to a clerk at your shipchandler’s about what electric bilge pump might be best.

    The drawing here on Sailboatdata https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/phantom-14-howmar/ should help.  The three aluminum spars look like they should be the mast and two lateen booms. The sheet looks like it has a wire or  line across the transom that it slides back & forth on. It then goes up to a block on the underside of the lower boom, forward to another block on the boom, and then down to the helmsman’s hand or possibly a swivel cleat; the drawing isn’t clear on that point.

    The drawing should also give you a good idea of the rudder and daggerboard shapes, which you could fashion out of plywood. So long as it fits in the slot the exact dimensions won’t be over-critical. You will want to fiberglass or epoxy over the plywood foils to keep water out and prevent them delaminating. Though they might be easier to find, simple boards would tend to warp more easily than plywood.

    They made a lot of them, so there may be parts around.  What are you missing?  It might be a good idea to contact Catalina — they may have what you need in stock.

    Bacon sails is the g0-to place for used sails.  They may have something for a Turnabout.  For a boat that small you do not want “another sail that will fit”.  It will be too big or too small and be a major hassle to make work. The Turnabout Facebook page seems to be little used but there may be someone there who can give you other leads. Any sailmaker would probably be happy to make you a new sail.

    The listing here on Sailboatdata: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/trintella-29/ suggests that there is a Trintella owner’s association. https://trintella.org/en/ Have you tried contacting them?  Determining its capacity might require emptying the tank and seeing how much water it takes to fill it.
