    Looked at an Ericson 27 - things I noticed. Feedback appreciated

    I went to see an Ericson 27 on the hard with the mast stepped so I could see inside and out but not the entire mast or rigging fwiw. I took some pictures of things I was concerned with but don't know how big of a deal they are. Any feedback/thoughts appreciated. The first thing I noticed...

    Need specs on 1973 E27 Fuel Tank

    I pulled my fuel tank and took it to a local "tank shop" for a new one. They LOST the tank. $%^&*(( I took approx dimensions of the exterior, but not location of the filler opening. I looked at the docs in the Specs/Docs section and none for the fuel tank. Anyone got a drawing? If...

    1973 E25 Specs

    Hmmm, I have just found out via the Ericson Library website that my 1973, 25 Ericson has a beam of 5 feet. Pretty narrow for a 25 footer and it sure seems a lot wider than that. I have seen various documents at this site and others that list the beam anywhere from 5' to 9.5'. I am in the...

    I'm having a lot of problems with either rust or varnish in my original 15 gallon steel tank. I've decided to replace it for greater confidence on trips. The tank is 10" high X 16" wide X 24" long and located between the engine and rudder post. The long dimension is across the boat...

    Fortress anchor size for 1973 E27

    I'm thinking about getting a light weight Fortress anchor as a present to my back. Their FX-7 (4 lbs) units says for up to a 27 footer. The FX-11 (7 lbs) for 28 to 32 feet. I think the E27 is probably heavier than a lot of 27 footers, so I'm wondering if I should go for the larger size...

    Can anyone recommend a good tiller minder for my 1973 E-27?

    Can anyone recommend a good tiller minder for my 1973 E-27? I am still fighting the tiller on long windless crossings under power to the Channel Islands. Makes it hard to enjoy the crossing. I'm not looking for a auto pilot, just something to secure the rudder as on wheel steering models. I...

    1973 E-25 Traveler Blocks?

    I know this one's a long shot, but here goes. I've got what I believe to be the original over-cabin, 3/4 boom, traveler system on my 1973 E25, and the sheaves in the blocks are shot. Complicating this, is that I have been unable to find any identifying marks on the blocks other than an "S" or...
