This is fantastic - thanks for the help!

I don't have wind instrumentation installed, but I'm thinking it's closer to 40.

It's a 135%. The 150% that came with the boat was constantly fueled, so I went with the smaller size.

I have a 1972 Ericson 35-2. I got new sails last year and have a clean bottom. The previous owner modified the center shrouds to be affixed outboard of the rails on the hull, as boats of this vintage are known to leak and affect the bulkheads. As a result, I can't get my jib sheets as far in as...

We can't make it down tonight but are planning on leaving in the morning and arriving mid-day. I saw that Wildfire's slip assignment may have changed - is there still a spot for us? Thanks, Greg

Oh no! I had my water pump go out on me the night before a 9-day Gulf Islands trip last year. I hadn't replaced the anode in the exchanger and corrosion ate the pump. Exact same engine as you have.

Hi Dave, We're hoping to finally participate in a rendezvous this year! I'll message you with my information, and we'll be coming from Bellingham. Looking forward to it.

No worries! We'll be bummed to miss out this year, but we'll try to schedule next year around the event so we can attend.

We would love to join in this year! We've got a '71 E35-2 in Blaine (possibly Bellingham come summer ). We're hosting a cruise with the Bellingham Corinthian Yacht Club to Sucia Island the weekend of July 14 - 17, (which everyone is invited to join in on by the way!), so we'd prefer the weekend...

Very nice! We're temporarily at Gate 3 in the SJ Sailing brokerage spot. We'll be there through Sept and then we'll be back up in Blaine until our number gets called.

So sorry we missed it this year! We're still working on getting Wildfire up to fighting shape. Which boat was from Bellingham? That's where we'll be coming from (or more likely Blaine) next year!

Excellent write-up, and sounds like quite the race! We're still in the process of getting our E35-2 up to snuff, but maybe we'll be able to join you next year!

So glad this site exists! I just purchased a 1972 Eriscon 35-2 named 'Wildfire' and can't wait to get her ready for racing and cruising next year. She hails from Seattle, WA but is currently in Blaine, WA. I'll eventually be moving her to Bellingham, WA (where I live) once I get a slip transfer...
