    Attention E38-200 Owners - Sailing Magazine Calling...

    I heard about this article from my boat broker and thought of the forum. I have not found any sailing photos from a chase boat, just at anchor or dock etc. Knot Again is my second E38-200, and after 10 yrs I am sorry to say its On the Mkt out of Boston. I would be happy to discuss the merits of...

    ISO Easylock Midi Rope Clutch Handle (Old style).

    JSM or Others - I own a E38-200 and in same 'broken' boat as you were. Wondering if you or any other readers may have an old Easylock Midi for sale, of the old style. I too need one handle and I'm trying to do this the easy way. Note- I have seen them on Ebay over the last yr or so, but they...

    Ericson 38 under Cape May bridges?

    I have done that bridge in our previous E38, back in '95 on our way to the Bahamas. As I recall, we too were quite anxious, but we transited near dead low, and it went fine. We had more problems hitting the bottom or sunken trees with our 4' 11" wing than we did with the bridges. Good Luck...

    Gasket Installation on Window Ports

    Where can I get the gasket material? Granted this is an old thread, but its a timeless problem. Does anyone know where to source the gasket material for the opening Lewmar ports on the E38. Less critical but still wondered if anyone found a source to replace the crazed plastic ports themselves...

    Mast Work on E38

    Has anyone tried to touch up an Ericson black mast. We just bought a E38 which has a badly scratched mast. Sitting on the ground next to it at the yard, was a large black mast of some boat, that had been brushed black (not recently but in the past) in some spots to touch it up. I dont know how...
