jib

I am having new sails made for my E27 and will be sailing the Salish Sea in WA and the coast of BC. My previous late spring through early fall experience here has been one of predominantly lighter winds with occasional strong gusts or fronts coming through. I want to optimize sailcloth weight...

Hi, I am looking for a roller furling headsail for an Ericson III in very good to excellent condition with the following approximate dimensions: Area: 446’ Luff: 44’ 2” Leech: 40’ 3” Foot: 22’ 4” Please contact me as follows if you have one or know of one that is available for sale. Glenn...

I have an 1973 Ericson- 27 , on my 155 Genoa there is a cringle on the luff edge about 2' up from the tack . The sail is hanked on . can anyone tell me what it is for ?

Vikings, I don't believe that my jib is original to my 1975 E25cb, but I can say that it has been around for a while. It has a wire luff sewn into it. This wire luff is used in an old Schaefer roller furler with a drum at the bottom and a swivel at the top. The original purchase documents that...

Hi all I am looking at adding a smaller furling jib to my inventory the 155 can get a little un ruley here on lake Michigan when the wind pipes up. Even though I can reef it to 110 or 90 I don't like the drag it creates at the headstay. Would much rather have a 110 maybe 135 any ideas comments?

Here is my issue. I single hand my Ericson 29, about 90% of the time. My wife loves sailing, but being that we have an 18 month old daughter and another one due in 4 weeks, when I get to go sailing, I'm alone or she has her hands full. Getting the Jib up and and down is the worst part of the...

Looking for a new mainsail cover and jib bag for my '76 E29. I currently have yellow, but was looking into dark blue to match the stripe on hull. Also would be interested in 8 winch covers to match. Please contact me at rambling_irishman@hotmail.com Thank you!

My 1987 E26-2 jib sheets get caught under my closed front hatch when I tack. I might try to put two small 'guards' to fill the gap under the forward corners but before I try to make something, who out there already has this problem figured out? Joe.

I tried to lower my jib and found that the jib halyard is jammed. It is a roller furling arrangement and this is the first time that I have attempted to lower the jib in the year that I have owned the boat. The sheave at the masthead turns freely and there is a bit of slack in the wire portion...

In sailing I have noticed a fair number of boats that under heavy air fly only the jib as oppossed to a reduced jib and single or double reefed main. On one hand there is the logic that the jib only is accounting for a very poorly balanced rig that will suffer lee helm and can damage the rig...

Hi folks - so now that we're moving the boat to someplace with wind I better get her sails sorted out. We inherited two sails with the boat, the first is an odd sized genoa type-thingy (nice mastery of sailing terms there, eh) and the second is a more reasonable sized jib. I need to take the...

Hi everyone, Wondering if I can get a little assistance with a jib purchasing decision. I'm considering the purchase of a jib with dimmensions of: Luff: 19.25 ft. Leech: 15.67 ft. Foot: 9.5 ft. I know this is less than the 100% area available in the foretriangle created by the...

Hi folks - does anyone have the dimensions for the correct jib for my 25+? Thanks! Tom

ericson 27 #2 jib,storm jib, anchor we will be making the sausalito - bodega bay passage this weekend on our just purchased 27 and are looking for a #2 jib and/or a storm jib. any for sail or for loan? also looking to buy an anchor. i'd like to find a 25 pound danforth or a 43 pound plow...

I need to raise the foot of my roller furling jib about 12" so the the sail clears the pulpit and lifelines to prevent chafing. Short of raising the furler drum which would involve modifying the foil, I was told that I could add a pendant. Any suggestions how to construct something like this? I...

I just purchased an E27 and the head sail is less than desirable. I'm looking for a decent used 150 (roller not hank on). Anyone with a good source for used Ericson sails? Thanks

I have an Ericson 37 storm Jib looking for a new home. Good shape. Willing to ship. Contact me for pictures.

I have a stuck primary jib halyard in the sheave. Any ideas wether it has cut a wire groove in the sheave, or has it wedged off the side? We might attempt to repair without dropping the mast. If we can secure the sheave from dropping into the mast and pull the pin, are there any bearings or...

100-120% jib/genoa wanted in good conditions.

I'm looking for a replacement for a broken fairlead at the top of the mast for the jib halyard on a 1983 Ericson 38. All the ones I can find would require new holes drilled etc. Does anyone know where I might find an exact replacement? Thanks! John

I am looking for a working jib for a 23-2 that is set up for roller furling. I just want a smaller option for those single handed days, and I don't particularily like the 170 rolled up that far.

For cruising not racing.

hello all, i recently purchased a '78 E27 that i'm in process of restoring to sailing shape before good weather returns. i'm already purchasing a new main from Doyle (the boat came with what i believe to be the original main, after 29 years basically a bedsheet), and now i have to turn my...

does anyone know if a J22 110 jib (est @ luff beibf cut 25 feet and foot aprox 8.8 ft) would be a fit on a ericson 23 (1968 hull # 52 / Type 1)?...thanx.....:egrin:

I know this is like asking people what kind of varnish they like and why but.... I have rather old XLS sheets now. They are 1/2" which I am comfortable with but will probably go down to 7/16. XLS Extra seems pretty reasonable in terms of price and performance but I wondered if you guys had any...

Hello All, I went for a little cruise today on my E38. When I dropped the mooring pennant it was blowing 16-18knots. By the time I got outside the harbor it was blowing 23-25knots. Half and hour later in the East Passage its blowing 25 constant with gusts to 30knots. I never even bothered...

Gentlemen/Salts I plan to take my boat down to the Sea of Cortez and park it there for a while. The outfitting goes slowly-beer gets in the way. I have gotten two self tailing winches, which will go in soon-far aft. Should I get a storm jib? Are there different sizes? john

this jib is like brand new, has hanks- 6.5 oz dacron ready to sail.. $300+shipping obo :egrin: 615 473 4432

I’ve decided not to complete my E27 restoration project due to costs overrun & the fact that I have received a wonderful perfect condition Morgan 35... I have everything for sale, mainly I have ready for shipment is my main sail, the jib sail, and the tiller. The sails are in pretty good...

A question for all you E-25 owners out there, where do you place the Jib blocks on the toerail? I have a 1977 E-25 with a roller furling 140 Jib and it's difficult to trim the jib with the block fixed in one position on the toerail. Currently the only way to adjust the block (fore and aft)...

Hello, before I'm drilling the first holes in my boat, I would love some advice. I have a 1973 29' Ericson and sail in the SF bay. Last year I bought a new 95% jib and have been using the toerail track, with not very good upwind performance, so would love to install a new jib track which...

I just gave a 100% North Cross Cut 8 oz. dacron jib for the E34 to Bacon in Annapolis. Catalog Number 220-WRZC-1001 on their site. The sail is in excellent shape. I replaced it last year with a 110% radial cut laminate jib.

I have a 1977 Ericson 25 and want to buy a new set of sails for it - actually 3 new sails. I gave the loft the rig dimensions from my E25 Owner's Manual. The sail loft mentioned that the jib dimensions roughly creates a 76% working jib. Their observation is that this seems a bit...

ok, there are 'no stupid questions', right?? good... now that we have that cleared away... i'm teaching myself to sail this lovely '78 E25.. have been out a couple of times with just main sail, 8 - 10 knot winds- that's working great! (tho would work even better if i had a main halyard...

Does anyone know if you can use a SnapFurl with a tabernacled mast? Thanks, Mark E23 Mk1

I've got a 1989 E32-200 with the original North 100% jib on a roller furling. I unrolled it last weekend and noticed pale greenish streaks over most of its surface, roughly parallel to the forestay. Looks like some kind of biological stain, like moss or algae. I didn't notice this in January...

So, the windy season is coming, I was reefed a good part of the Spring/Summer last year. I am going to buy a new jib and I thought a smaller size would be more efficient on the SF Bay (currently a 120% genoa). The roller furling does help but the sail shape is compromised significantly...

hi there , im looking for mesurements for a storm jib and or working jib for a 29 E tall rig, anyone out there who can help me with those numbers???? thanx tim

Hello, new to the list, great information! I recently bought a 1973 Ericson 29 standard rig, which is in desperate need of new sails. I am considering buying used 110 and 75 jibs or ordering new from a place like the sailwarehouse, where you provide your own measurements. Now I can easily...

We just pulled out the second headsail that we got with La Petite. As I mentioned in earlier threads, the roller furling genoa seems to be for a J24 so I'm wondering if this second foresail is designed for an E23. This second headsail has a foot of 9' 8", a luff of 25' 9" and a leach of 23'...

When I got my E-29 I noticed when raising the jib, the bottom would be so low it would set against the railing, I noticed a few pictures of other boats the same way, I installed a 12" line and raised it up some, I now can see under it, but I allways wonder if I ruined the performance. I am...

I have a 1987 E28 and need to replace my jib halyard, because the rope is shot. I have decided to replace the whole shebang instead of just a new rope spliced to the old wire, since both rope and wire appear to be original equipment. My plan is to tape an appropriate length of 1/8" rope to the...

Need a good quality used jib to replace mine (I think it's original from '73!). Either a 100%,110% or a 135%. Approx. dimensions are luff: 35-37'6" leech: 32-36' foot: 14-17'. Please email me at rschaffn@usc.edu, thanks!

Tacked in 20 knot wind. Jib snagged on the Aquasignal motoring and fordeck light on the front of my mast, tore it off, ripped the wiring out of the mast. Messy. The boat is an '85 E-32 with a Kenyon mast. The motoring light is mounted about a foot above the lower spreader, where there is...

Here's something I've always wanted to know: When the wind is up, and I want to reduce sail on the jib (reefing it), I have to draw in the roller furl. When I do that (and the jib is partially deployed), it seems to me that there is a large amount of stress on the furling system, as it wants...
