Last summer, I re-sealed my 4 big portlights, which had been glued in with injected Sikaflex. I NEVER want to deal with a glued in frame again. I went with Bed-It brand butyl tape. Christian has a point about the screws not *necessarily* pulling the frames together tightly enough, but with some...

Sorry for your loss. May be interested in jibs and hardware, possibly some more structural parts such as compression post. What is the status of the boat? I am located east of SF, maybe could come take a look with some cash if the parting out is continuing.

Prop is sold. Thank you.

In my experience, that is a good price for the Bay area, and I'd be tempted to take my 35 to Spaulding next year if the final bill is in that ballpark. My last bottom job was a lot more, partly because it was in such bad shape and needed an entire strip / barrier coat before the bottom paint. My...

Check with Marine Hardware in Redmond WA. They were able to cast me a new one (with cutlass installed) for my 1970 35-2 for $900 two years ago. It takes a few months, and high-end skills locally to install and line up shaft. But it was great to have this as an option, they were OEM and had the...

Hi Steve, thank you for the suggestion! I'll keep that in mind. -Will A. Valkyrie E35-2 #153 Pt. Richmond, CA

Forgot to mention, luff measurement will be around 40 ft., foot <14 ish ft.

I'm new to this forum, just purchased a 1970 Ericson 35-2 custom deep draft. I'll be moving the boat from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco Bay, and looking to buy a used summer jib, normal conditions are 15-25+ knots, so either a heavy blade jib <100% LP or a yankee with a luff tape set up for...
