    This piece of wood on my transom...

    …is looking pretty sad. What's the quickest, easiest way to deal with it so that I don't have more problems later? Sand off the varnish then sand it smooth and apply tung oil? Is it safe to assume it's teak? I don't much care how it looks. It just has to function and not deteriorate...

    Ericson 35 or 38 (?) : Cover Girl

    Cover for dinghy needed

    I am looking for a cover for my 11 foot sailing dinghy. It seems difficult to find a company with a cover for a small sailing boat. It is a Ranger 11 (11' length, 4' 9" beam). All of the on-line sources seem oriented towards fishing and ski boats. Any suggestions? Thanks, Loren

    Sail cover for e27

    Do you know if the proper sail cover length should be 10' or 10.5'? Original Ericson boom spec says it's 10' long. So I should probably add some length to get it wrapped around the mast, right? Can't get to the boat (for measuring) for another few weeks, and would like to get it ordered...

    Lexan Hatch Cover Tops

    The translucient tops of the two hatch covers on my E-27 (1976, wheel version) are developing some cracks, and probably need to be replaced. I checked with my local glass store, and they said I would need Lexan, not plexiglass, as plexiglass will crack if you drill holes, and Lexan will not...

    I want to re-bed the hatch cover hinges on my 1978 Ericson 29, but cannot access the retaining bolt ends due to the interior liner. Does anyone know how these bolts are connected below the deck? Are they likely to drop down into the void with the liner if I un-bolt them or are they fixed in...

    Recently, I replaced the bulb on one of the interior lights on my '86 E-30+.

    Cover cabintop sides in main cabin with laminate?

    Has anyone considered covering the teak side walls (the ones with the windows) with off-white laminate (formica)? Some friends did that with their Endeavour and it really helped to update the look of the boat. I like the look of the teak but it can begin to feel like a cave because it's so...
