    '75 E-29 Ballast, What form & material is it?

    I have been informed by an engineer that boats like mine , with the ballast inside the fibreglass hull & not bolted on could be in trouble if the ballast area is holed on a rock & the salt water gets into the ballast. I can understand this being a problem if the ballast is loose iron or steel...

    E29 Bow Rail

    I'm having a bow rail fabricated to replace the non-existent one on my E-29. I was just wondering if anyone knew the original specs, including deck angle of the E29 bow rail.

    E29 and Yanmar 8hp... underpowered??

    Hi folks, first post to this awesome forum. We've been boatless for 10 years, and it's high time for another. Our first boat was an E27, we cruised her lots on the BC coast including a 5-month lazy liveaboard sabbatical. We've had other nice boats since, including a lovely Alberg 37, but the...

    Capt'ns, Before I remove the gate valves and thru hulls on my E-29 1973 and replace with proper seacocks, does anyone know if they are 1"1/2 or 1"1/4? I bought an 1"1/2 for my E-27(never installed) some time ago only to find out the E-27 was 1"1/4. Of course I realize when I remove...

    E29 Small window replacement

    Has anyone replaced the original portlights on an E29 with new units? I pulled out the small salon portlight (14"x6") yesterday. So far I've located two vendors: Lewmar and New Found Metals. Both companies make a window that is close in size to the original and screened. I prefer an openable...
