    New Mainsail Furler on the Market

    Never seen a design like that before. It seems cheaper than an in boom leisure furl but that's not necessarily a good thing. Almost looks like you're adding another boom which adds weight and more obstacles in the way when underway. I think it's a creative idea though!

    Mast refinish

    I agree with Frank. I don't think the track should be painted. Any gum up or drips could mess with the raising of the sail. You also don't want to ruin the bearings on your sail cars when forcing it through possibly thick paint. Then you would have two problems! When the track was painted, it...

    E23 Galley info

    Okay! Looks great. This is the kind of set up I'd like. Simple and removable when moving. I would like to add a sink. Someone please tell me why sinks are so expensive! The prices make me want to make my own out of a salad bowl.

    E23 Galley info

    That stove looks good! It's small but diverse and looks like it can get the job done. However, I think im looking for something a little more flat and stable. I like the little boat ideas though! It makes you get more creative and innovative.

    I might be able to connect to a through hull. That would be an ideal situation.

    E23 Galley info

    That's pretty neat. Is that the aft side of the port bulkhead? What kind of wood is that? That looks like a simple and reasonable design.

    E23 Galley info

    Hi all! I’m adding a galley to my E23 MKII and would love to see pictures of some E23 galleys. It would be great to get specific dimensions and location as well. I got plenty of questions. Where are the tank(s) located? Do you have a waste tank or just run it to the bilge ? Is that frowned...

    E23-2 Big Plans - Little Boat

    Hi all, I recently got my hands on a 1976 Ericson 23. I’m really excited to get some projects going on the thing. I have some general questions before I get started and would really appreciate some feedback. To begin, what kind of wood is in the interior? I’m not totally sure if it’s teak or...

    E30-2 or Tartan 30

    Hello! Both are amazing sailboats. I don’t think jumping to a 30 is a bad choice because you’ll end up there sooner or later regardless! Personally I think the Tartan 30 is a good choice. The atomic 4 will last you a very very long time and won’t fail on you if you keep up with the good...
