    Sail trim and weather helm on an E38

    Hello All, I went racing with a club member on his C&C 35 and watched carefully how that boat was trimmed, etc. I have also spoken to a few other racers about sail trim, weather helm, etc. Then I have tried to apply this advice to my E38. I have been told that I should be able to trim the...

    How do I find my sail number?

    I don't have a sail number on my main. I have a 1987 E32-3, hull number 731. Were sail numbers automatically provided or do you have to apply for one? Thanks, Don Saunders, SV/ Northstar E32-3

    Will the cut of the main sail change the boom height?

    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 am in the market for an Ericson 27, 28, 28+, and might consider a 29 or 30. I was wondering how do these models sail? Are they tender, tippy, stable, are they well balanced? Also, are there any problem areas that I should be looking for when inspecting a potential boat? Are they prone to...

    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.
