    E-35 deck organizing

    Lead things back, you'll love it. Here's a couple shots of my old 32-2. On the port side I led the outhaul, topping lift and vang without a winch, don't need one. On the Stb side I led the main halyard, reef #1 and the 3rd clutch shared spin halyard or reef #2 depending. Jib halyard I left on...

    Show us your recent Ericson photos

    Very nice. I've made the trip a number of times, but not on my Ericson. How was your weather .. how many stops and where .. how far offshore ? Most trips we stopped in Brookings and Westport staying within 25 miles of Ca and Oregon to 60 miles or so off Washington. Our trips were later toward...

    There is a chance it's not on the hull, as is the case on my 72' E32 My only marking is 3 digit number stamped on rudder post casting. Happy hunting, Greg

    I'm interested in finding a smaller kite for big breeze races. I do shorthanded distance stuff on Bay & Ocean. My current symmetric is SL-37 SSMG-23.1 SSF-21.9 1.23 oz Triradial (med runner 4S ?) Anyone know of the size I might look for on a used budget ? A runner maybe. Like to find a OD...

    Mainsheet Line Type for E38

    Regatta Braid is far from the best It's really low quality line. I like Samson much better. I have Warpspeed II and love it. You can get by with their less expensive stuff. Good line works and lasts. Sta-Set is lousy also imho Regards, Greg...

    Gally Maid Alcohol Stove- how safe is it?

    I have my original Galley Maid 1972. Rebuilt it for about $40. Got a new (larger) tank from a boat neighbor E38. It's worked perfectly fine for the last 6 years. I heat water for for dishes and tea every week when aboard. They just need some care starting. Personally, I think many people...

    Pretty amazing drone footage of Sailing out west

    Yea .. how much wind is one of my questions. This was an uncommon light day for the City Front. Summer will be a different animal. I'm thinking our local photg's are looking this guy up. Hope anyway. Regards, Greg

    Diver Hull Cleaning Frequency

    I get the boat dove on timed with races and algal bloom. $80 with 2 barrel zincs I provide. I'll have growth in spring / summer within days. Petitt Trinidad has been on going on 3rd year and Diver says he's still on the softest scrub pad, all looking good :)

    Polar diagram for Ericson 28-2

    Just tagging on to the thread and interested in 32-2 polars. I'm with you Jim .. buoys = bad, distance or coastal = good. My kid and I do this series up here. They've added a couple more ocean races which I'm glad of. The 1st race, 3 Bridge Fiasco was a drifter and we DNF'd. Got a 1st and 2nd in...

    Ericson owners Racing on other boats

    That Tri looks like big fun Porter. What kinds of reaching targets do you guys get ? 30's ? Any under sail shots One Design or PHRF Randy ? Those size boats and road trips are a lot of fun. My Son and I did a lake series and met a ton of really great people and had some very tight racing. The...
