Thanks Guys as usual ALL great information. What I Really need is the length of the topping lift to the Boom, and what is the connection at the Mast Top?

Ericson 38 1982 Topping lift broke at the top! Need length and type of connection at mast head ? Any close up photos of the mast head connection? Covered wire like original lifelines or open wire? THANKS

Most every day (when not sailing) after pooltime (4-5) Renda and I (guest if here) play at least 3 hands of Mexican train before Sundowners. Good our Cognitive!

Sounds like a Great Buy... Jump on it.

These things must have been put on with 5200? Will Not move! After outside ring there seems yo be a small seam with old chalk? Will dig out and fill stop drip leaks?

Thanks they don't ship to Nicaragua.

Been empty for 3 years, thanks.

Yes, asked before... Now empty from battery box under 1/4 berth to forward head bulkhead. Any ideas ? Need input. Don't need chart table, or closing slides to 1/4 berth. Should I retain big table? Have small one on starboard. Christian mentioned put a chair in place of chart table area? Facing...
