    Ericson 36C deck layout, rigging, and hardware?

    Mark- I lived on an E27- Glory- on J dock in Santa Cruz during 2008. I'm sure she is still in the harbor somewhere. I sure do miss her and the weather as I try to do this refit during a long Maine winter. Thanks for the info about how to navigate this site more effectively. Sid- your boat...

    Ericson 36C deck layout, rigging, and hardware?

    I am doing a refit on a 36C that has not been in the water for 10 years, so I have never seen my boat rigged and I have some questions and ideas I'm tossing around.

    Where are all the 36C Owners??

    I appreciate all of the discussion that was instigated in regard to my chainplate question. I think it was Joe who asked how the chainplates were bonded to the hull. I ripped out all of the headliner material I could find when I took possession of my boat. Without removing the wood around the...

    Where are all the 36C Owners??

    Questions for any takers Greetings everyone- I have a couple of questions that have been on my mind since I purchased my Ericson 36C and stared her refit. Can anyone speak to the integrity of the aluminum chainplates? I have some surface corrosion in the cabin where the chainplates leaked...

    Where are all the 36C Owners??

    Here I am I purchased an Ericson 36c last April and have begun a 2 year refit. The boat sat unused for 10 years, so there are plenty of projects to keep me busy. I spent a lot of the summer ripping up the teak decks, filling the holes, and replacing rotten core around the chainplates and the...
