Matt Nice job.

I was there last night for the official opening. Pretty nice.

Hull Cleaning My E3511 Hull is cleaned every 4 weeks by a Dive service that charges $1.15 a foot or $40.25. They also report on the condition of the bottom paint and replace the zincs when necessary.

About 3 or 4 years ago I bought some Tee shirts with my boat's name and model printed on the front and a blue print of the E35II on the back. I want some more but I don't have the seller's name. Does anyone know who it might have been?

Rub Rail All I needed to replace on my 35 was the Rubber insert.

Rub Rail John, I replaced mine on my 35II a couple of years ago. Wefco made the rails for Ericson and are still using the same extrusion dies. Wefco was nice to do business with.

Strut Thanks Sven and Ian--- The individual that does most of the work on my boat fabricated a strut. We re-launched the boat in Redondo Beach yesterday and it is now back in its slip in San Pedro. Hope I'm good for another 40 years. Bill

Ian, If you were in California, I would be at your doorstep instead of typing this reply. I'm afraid you're correct about shipping and timing so my shipwright and I will keep looking for a couple more hours and then he is going to fabricate a device. He has successfully created one in the...

My Bottom cleaning service saw a crack in my propeller strut last week, so I had my 1971 35 II Hauled this morning in Redondo Beach. The Strut is not reparable and I need a replacement ASAP. I don't want to have a new one made if I don't have to. ( money & time) I would appreciate any help or...

This past Saturday my Grandson and I were sailing our CAL 20 out of San Pedro and we saw an E35 in Hurricane Gulch on its way out through Angels Gate. We followed it for about five miles trying to catch it to say hello but it was a little too fast. Oh well. Yesterday we were out on my E35 II...
