There is an article in the Sept edition of BWS magazine by Taryn & Stephen Toman of the E38 Synchronicity. I tried to find an on line link but couldn't. It is an interesting article of their maiden trip from Baltimore to Bermuda. Stephen is an experienced blue water cruiser but this voyage...

The May '10 Latitude 38 issue, pp 104 - 107, has a marvelous cruising article by long-time Olson 34 sailors Lina and Bruce Nesbit.
I believe that you can also read it in the Lat. 38 on-line edition referenced above.
And, they make it clear that they cruise...
Sean,
In looking through documents from previous owners of my boat I came across a reprinted article from Boating Magazine dated November 1971 on the Ericson 32 thats pretty cool. I've scanned it and the pictures are attached. I could also email them to you if you find the article suitable for...

Interesting little article on your Universal Diesel heat exchanger zinc.
The Catalina Direct site has other useful stuff, like new lenses for Lewmar portlights, too.

Thought I would share this with all of you. I just received the Jan 09 Sailing Magazine, and myself and ragamuffin where part of the article how cool is that. All made possible by this web site. Adam Cort the author found me on here and interviewed me in Chicago last October. The article is...

I would say it is "jolly good" of that fine UK sailing magazine, PBO, to make this stuff available on line.

A friend of mine that has owned a "Willard Nine Ton" (Crealock design, cutter, 30' on deck) for many years passed along this article by an owner of a sister ship. They have a small owners' discussion group on a Yahoo list.
I thought that the information was interesting and potentially useful...

Real nice article on what to expect in a blue water passage. Informative without being cutesy or condescending...
I read in the May Crusing World magazine a reference to an article called "I Love Ericsons" by Melissa Neale and I must have missed that issue. Does anyone have a copy they could scan and email to me?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I have seen this question, "how do I re-pack my stuffing box" posed literally hundreds of times, on different forums, and still no-one had a good photo based article on how to change the flax packing in an old school stuffing box. Sunday afternoon it was ridiculously rainy, hahvin' a...

Nice article about flying a spinnaker without pole on an E-38. Several good pictures, too.
Enjoy,

Hi:
I can't get the Yachting Monthly Lewmar hatch replacement article to print properly. It's in jpeg format and opens in IE. Printing only gives me the top left corner of the page.
Help?
