height

Can anyone tell me how long the fin keel on an E26 is? I'm considering the purchase of one 1300 miles away and considering transporting myself on a friends trailer because the shipping quotes are simply too expensive. The trailer has adjustable brackets but I need to confirm that their minimum...

Our 1974 E32 had all of the running and standing rigging replaced...about 3 years ago (before we bought it). The new mast is 42 feet high. That's just the mast - from the mast step to the mast head - does not include the fittings on the top. I have looked through the resource material on this...

It seems early but my local yard is booking winter storage already. This year I want to drop my rudder to overhaul the foil, mechanism, replace my cutlass bearing etc. I know I need to have the boat blocked higher than usual but as I can't get down to her till next week I hoped someone who has...

has anyone taken their 35-3 thru the cape may canal. Fixed bridge height is supposed to be 55' and mast height of the 35-3 should be 50'. Thanks.

Hi all, Hope someone has either a clear answer or strong opinions on this one. After 4 long years, we have a rig back on our E39 :egrin:, which was originally set up for racing. Now we're in the process of modifying the rig to make it easier for the two of us to cruise. In putting the...

The black band on my E27 mast has been useful to obtain a rough visual correlation to the position of main halyard, but since my gooseneck is free to slide within the mast luff groove, it doesn't necessarily have a specific relationship to the boom. I am going to secure a different gooseneck...

Hello I have a guy currently building me a dodger...he put up the frame this week and asked me to stop by the boat this wkd to have a look and see if the height etc...met my requirements. I am looking for input with respect to the proper height for a dodger on an e27 or any boat for that...

Would anyone who knows or has an Ericson 23 MK2 give me a measurement of the height of their boom off the deck or some comparable point of measurement? I am new to this boat, and after looking at a few pictures, the boom appears to be too low. Before I order a new mainsail, I'd like to get it...

Can an e38 with a mastheight 54' make it through the bridges across the intercoastal across florida? I understand that at the 49' limit bridge, a tilting service is available but can a 54 mast get through? :cool:

Attached are two pictures I took while giving Shazam her annual bath, one of the sails raised on my E-36 RH and the other is the boom height with the main raised. Right now the boom is the perfect height to knock my block off. I think these are the original Hood sails. When I get new sails is it...

I need to purchase a storm sail to meet ORC recommendations for single handed racing. The standard is a sail with 5% of the area of the fore-triangle height squared. Please excuse my novice questions but is the height of the fore-triangle the same as the height of my mast plus the cabin height...

I recently had a problem getting all of the air out of the fuel system :boohoo: for the engine to run reliably after cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the filters. It would run for a while and then stall out after a power drop. When I got a mechanic to look at it, he turned the lift pump on...

When I had a new Yanmar 20GM installed in my 1973 E-29 the exhaust raw water mixing U-tube sticks up so high that I am losing that part of the quarter berth cutting it down from a double to a single. Is there any way to lower this unit and maybe install a one way valve into the exhaust so I...

I am transporting a 1989 Ericson 380-200 by truck from Marina Del Ray to Vancouver, Canada. Having trouble with determining exact height of boat. Deep keel model, 6' 6" draft. Including the bow and stern pulpits, I am estimating a total height of 13.5' to the top of the pulpit. This is very...

I have a 1970 35-2 and have had a lot of people tell me that this boat is a tall rigged boat. As I have not seen any 35-2 listed as a tall rig, I started to wounder.I messured the mast this past weekend and the height from the deck to top of mast is 43 feet 9 inches and the boom is 12 feet 10...

Can anyone tell me the mast height (from step and from water line) of the mast on a 1972 Ericson 32-2. I just bought it and can't find anything telling me the mast height.
