    Transom Showers?

    It's a 1970 E26. I would like to add a small range, a holding tank for the head, a small cooler/freezer, and small electric heater. I wonder if these would bee too much on a 26 footer. I wouldn't need much more then that, but a way to shower every once in a while on like a week or longer trip...

    Transom Showers?

    Hi, I am totally new here and not sure where to post this. Unfortunately my grandfather wasn't around long enough to teach me much more then the ropes and the basics of sailing. I was looking through my current Defender catalog, and saw these things called "Transom Showers". This seems like a...

    Info needed on 1967 Ericson E26

    RE: Info needed (The Details) To go into the details; there is dry rot in the quarter berth, that’s not too difficult. I've fixed the leak there already. The v-berth in the bow has been completely rebuilt by the previous owner. It's been very badly hammered together with tacks and nails, and...

    Furlers

    Thanks for the advice Loren! And yes, the Rudder and Keel are still there. :) I'm working on the broken tiller now actually. This is actually my first boat. I've been sailing with my grandfather many times and now I decided to buy my own. I can't say I was expecting to get into a 26ft sloop...

    Furlers

    Hello, I just bought a 1968 Ericson 26ft sloop. The original owners had a furler on it before and were told that real sailors don't use a furler, so they threw it away. I kid you not, they just threw it out. Unfortunately, they also destroyed the jib sail shortly after they removed the furler...
