    E32-3 Traveler in the cockpit?

    The traveler on the E32-3 is bolted to the sea hood just above the companionway hatch. I'm thinking of moving the new traveler down and aft into the cockpit. It would be fastened about where the mallet is laying on the transition to the companionway in the photo. Pros: More power sheeting the...

    Mounting the Last Resort on the E32-3 Sea Hood

    On the long list of preparations for cruising the Channel Islands and Hawaii from San Francisco is the installation of a life raft. I'm not really fond of hanging it off the stern pulpit. The next logical spot is amidships on the sea hood (aka "the turtle shell", as I call it). Below is a photo...

    E32-3 A Temporary Janky Tanky

    SV Rumour had a leak in her diesel tank. Not surprising after 3/16" aluminum sat on and rubbed and vibrated against the raw fiberglass hull for about 38 years. You'll find quite a few threads in the forums here with folks finding pinhole leaks in their aging tanks. Taking the tank out was a...

    E32-3 Phasing in a New 12V DC System

    Preface When considering a leak in a sailboat's diesel tank, the first step is to rebuild the core of the 12V DC system. Wait... did I already lose you? You might be familiar with the urge to chain projects together. When you remove the diesel tank on some of our boats, the primary 1/0 AWG...

    Date: March 2023 With the number of rain storms coming through the SF Bay area recently, it's given me a good opportunity to see how the bilge pumps on SV Rumour are working -- and not. I realized a while ago that the shower bilge wasn't automatically pumping. No big deal -- water never goes...

    Water and the cabin sole

    Like most of us, I have water which regularly enters the boat through the mast on my E32-3. There is no gutter around the mast step so the water runs across the cabin sole to the starboard side of the boat and seeps into the edge of the flooring where it meets the fiberglass gelcoat at the base...

    40" wheel for 1985 E32-3

    Like a lot other similar boats, there is currently a Yacht Specialities destroyer wheel on my Ericson 32-3 mounted on an Edson pedestal. As I'm contemplating adding an auto-pilot, I'm also thinking it's a good time for a wheel upgrade. The current wheel measures to just under 36" OD. And I'm...

    Renaming an Ericson 32 [video]

    I purchased my 1985 Ericson 32-3 last summer and, once I realized the pandemic was not going to end anytime soon, decided to have a small socially distant gathering of friends to rename the boat. Technically, I was keeping the name the PO had given the boat. They had never re-christened the...

    One day I lifted off the cover from the compass on Rumour to look at the wheel brake mechanism.

    E32 Mainsheet Refit, 4:1 or 5:1? or...

    My 1985 Ericson 32-3 has a 3:1 mainsheet which runs under the boom and down/back through the deck organizer to a winch on the starboard cabintop -- pretty standard I think. I'm interested in converting this into a 4:1 or 5:1. Thanks to @gfilipi, who directed me to Harken's mainsheet system...

    Context: About to adjust the stuffing box on the E32-3 as it's dripping a little too much for my, albeit novice, taste.
