It's a small world We took our In-laws to the Coach House on Mothers Day. I know Old Town well. Good mates with the "Hoads" Peter ("Wipers") an avid sailor he teaches sailing and owns a set of J 24's that keep the regattas going strong and Chris Hoad (Sporty) who owns "The Muse" on 2nd St. I...

Cheers.. She's cutter rigged but the owner never ran the inner head sail. So I'm going to have to add a little more tackle to fly the two. Were in two minds though about it. I like the Idea of keeping a little bit of the foredeck free of hardware. Adding a self tending mini boom extra tracks...

E 37' Ect.. That's ok bout E 37'... I did find a bit of literature about the boat and theres a nice book a fella has witten about making the passage around the "Horn" in an E 37' (after much out-fitting) All that being said...I'm going to purchase an Alberg 37'. I had my heart set on an Ericson...

I know the 39' well but not so much about the 37'.. Seems to be a ghost in the E line only 100 or so made. Can anyone give me some insight as to her sailing qualities.. noticed the original sail plans were significantly smaller than the 39' and the 38'.. Much thanks..

Re Ericson I'll be in the area, so if it comes up we'll be sure to check it out.. Really looking forward to returning to Oregon have'nt been there in years... Off the top of your head you wouldn't know any decent yards I can access off the river that would allow me to do some work on the hard...

Thanks for your time and Advice Guy. Our offer was excepted on the boat so were off to Portland in two weeks to have her surveyed. I'm glad the repair is not beyond my means in this area. I would never have thought of a large scarf as a temporary fix you just gave me an extra few days to deal...

E 39' Am suffering today... J24 Regatta and World Cup all in one day. I drank way too much... We were planning on bringing some fresh water back to the boat last night to wash her down after the race (unfounded optimism) I could'nt even find my Dinghy.. Well that makes sence, raising the...
