35-3

The haul out was going too well... The keel joint hasn't shown a drop of seepage, the blisters are better than I thought they were going to be, the rudder seems solid, and the engine removal went well. Even the shaft looks good and we're going to shorten it to clean up the gap between the...

For all you 32-3, 35-3, 38, and 381 owners with the non aft cabin layouts, where have you installed your charger, inverters, DC to DC chargers, batteries, and other electrical system gadgets? I'm finally getting ready to install my new electrical system and I thought I would do a sanity check...

I replaced the original hatches on my 1984 35-3, so the old ones are available to a good home free of charge. I think they are Lewmar superhatchs size 60. They need the lenses and a few pieces replaced including the backing nuts for the hinge. One of the more stressful parts of replacing the...

We have an older Profurler LC-32 on our 35-3. It has had a few issues since we purchased the boat last year. We‘ve had binds, furler wrap, and a sagging head stay. None of the issues have been too bad so far, but it doesn’t feel great having to play the sheet and furling line or running to...

I'd appreciate any comments re: rebedding/solving leaks in the anchor locker of an E35-3 (well, E350, which seems to be related but not quite the same from some of the pictures posted on the forum). The current pan seems to have been recaulked in the past, and while there is no evidence of...

Hello folks- I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has handled an E35-3 in heavy conditions (seas > 12 ft / 4m, and/or wind > 30 kts). I am especially interested in somewhat worse -- 15+ ft/5+m and/or wind > 40 kts, especially for significant lengths of time (hours at sea, as opposed to a...

I'm replacing all the pluming for my head and like every other project, it's "providing other opportunities for improvement" (I'm trying for the optimistic side today). I noticed the washers and nuts for the cap shroud chainplates have some rust. I tried searching for some pics and/or advice...

Weekend sail to Kingston

The listing for our new boat stated around 400 hours on the newer Yanmar 3YM20, but the hour meter was broken. I did a quick google search and found a post on the J/109 forum detailing how to fix the problem (https://j109.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=205&p=724&hilit=Tachometer#p724). The root...

Used 150 Genoa for roller furling from an Ericson 34-2 measures Luff 44 ft. Foot 22.5. Unsure of age but based on limited boat history and good condition of sail I suspect it has 1 season in the Chesapeake and 7 seasons in Maine. Built by North, has rope inserts at luff for better sail shape...

This is a boom tent type cover that needs no frame, heavy canvas. Has many cringles in place for proper tie down. Canvas is a bit musty but not terrible and still quite firm, 5 small holes have been patched with tape. Bow section measures 108 at bow end, 214 at mast end, 210 down centerline, 212...

On my boat, a small amount of water accumulates at the low point closest to the engine and immediately forward of the fuel tank in a low point. I have removed the quarter berth platform, exposing the tank and all surrounding areas. There is no sign the water is moving forward along the tank or...

I am planning on pulling my mast to address some corrosion issues before they go from minor to major. At same time we will do a full inspection of the standing rigging and update wiring. Given the age of the boat (and as far as I know the rigging is original), should I arbitrarily replace...
