Does anyone have any thoughts, experience, or recomendations? I am shopping for a new 150% genoa. After getting 6 quotes from sail lofts, Mack Sails prepared the best quote... does anyone out there have experience with them and more specifically the "miter cut" genoa? His quote was for 5.77 oz...

Just a quick question about the proper routing of the jib sheets. I just moved up from a 14 ft daysailer to an e27 with a jib and a 130 (spinnaker?), and I was wondering about the routing of the sheet aft to the cockpit. Do they run insided the stays to the block or outside. I can see that if...

I'm trying to stop up a rainwater leak into the galley storage area on my 1976 E-32. I've rebedded the stanchions in the area and the only culprits left (that I can see) are the outboard headsail track and the rub rail.<O:p</O:p <O:p</O:p First: I don't see any signs of the sail track being...

I've seen a photo of an E29 double headsail rig and they have the lay-out specs in the owners manual. I am looking for someone w/ experience w/ this rig and what their comments on it are.

We have a very clean 1979 Ericson 25+ deep keel model for sale at Marina Del Rey in Los Angles CA. We have reduced the price to $4,250! It has a 9.9 hp Mariner longshaft that has electric start and alternator. The Boat has a good + mainsail with boom vang and two reef points. The 110% Jib...

Hey gang, First post here. I'll be looking for a larger headsail for my E29. I had, what I'm assuming to be, the standard size jib but it has been re-cut and is a little smaller now. I only have that jib and my main. What size/type of sail do you recommend for attempting any downwind speed...

I have a 1976 E29 with a 150% on a roller furler. I also have a 100% jib that i would like to use when the wind picks up. My question is which genoa track to use for the #3. My shrouds are all the way outboard at the sheer, With the primary track outboard of that. When using the outboard track...

I found one of these in a bin full of spar parts, etc. on my boat and discovered that it is a "prefeeder." How does this work?

I generally sail our 1984 E30+ with the headsail sheets led on the blocks/track on the toe rail, and she sails nicely like that. Lately, I've been wondering if she would sail better/point higher if I used the inside tracks just below the cabin windows instead. That would bring the headsail...

O.K. my wife Taryn and I are in the midst of major outfitting wo we can shoove off and go Cruising- extended Cruising with some serious Offshore. we're plannning about 4 years, leaving from the North East, to sail around the Carribean, than at some point sooner or later go the Canal and cross...

Well, I've been out a few times on Stardust this winter and I'm starting to notice that my original (I think) sail selection is a little lacking. I've a storm sail and a ~120% "lapper". In light air, the lapper seems to be both not enough area and too heavy a cloth (6.5 oz, maybe?), especially...

I have a "new" E-27 and will be getting a headsail furler this Winter/Spring before launching. Has anybody had good/bad experience with any particular brand? I will be keeping the existing headstay and using, at least for now, the current genoa. THANKS for any ideas.

Does anyone know the luff measurement on a 25+ headsail? Thanks, Mark

I race my 1987 E34 but do not have a proper headsail for 18to upper 20's. The sail must be furling. I first leaned toward a blade but am told the design of 1980's boats with large fore triangles did much better with a traditional overlaping headsail (plus I was encouraged to get leach...

I sail around the chicago area and currently have a totaly shot 6.5 oz. 135% on a furler. I have not gotten a strait answer out of any sail loft for what an aproprite headsail size would be for general use on this boat. It is a high aspect rig and would like to put as much sail up front as...

:egrin: :egrin: Need a hanked headsail or used roller furling system for my E-29. Any leads would be great. Thanks, Ray Hughes, "Capricious" Oceanside Harbor, Oceanside, CA.

Bought my 71 E-29 "Capricious" last October as a restoration project. She's been pretty neglected, but with a lot of TLC will soon be a proud Viking. I do need a headsail though, and would appreciate any offers/ leads you might have. Thanks, Ray. E-mail: RAYJAY3@sbcglobal.net...

Are there any E34 owners out there in the SF bay area? Wehave a 1987 E34 with a new main and the roller furling jig (approx 95%) is soon to be replaced. We mostly cruise, however, I am an avid participant in the local Benicia Thursday night beer can races. Coming from SoCal, I'd opt for a...

Interested in a decent 115% or 155% headsail. Needs to be in good enough shape to do club racing. Looking for a reasonable price. Prefer dacron, but would consider mylar.

I am looking for a good used cruising headsail (drifter or poleless spinnicker) for my Ericson 27.
