New E29 owner and new sailor to boot Greetings, With Sean's advice, I'm starting this thread as an introduction of myself as someone extremely green to the sailboating experience. Never the less, and with next to no knowledge, I have purchased a 1971 Ericson 29 in what i'm told is "fair to...

Greetings, With Sean's advice, I'm starting this thread as an introduction of myself as someone extremely green to the sailboating experience. Never the less, and with next to no knowledge, I have purchased a 1971 Ericson 29 in what i'm told is "fair to good" condition. It has been outside and...

I have a complete set of Practical Sailor (Jan. '84 through Dec. '10). Anyone out there interested? Vince Benn 267-799-6545

Evangeline Ruth Thomas, 7lbs 9oz's, 19" long, entered this world at 2:30pm on Wednesday 17th of November, 2010. Healthy and happy, she is all my Wife and I could have asked for. I already have a Nutshell Pram for her, ready to go, but that may be some years away..... Just enjoying the moment...

I read an article in the Daily Breeze this morning about a search being called off for a missing sailor. I looked into it a little more and found out it was one of our sailors from Pacific Singlehanded Sailing Association. Thomas Kirschbaum is the owner of a 26' Int'l Folkboat "Feral"...

So two of my buddies talked me into taking the new Ericson 25 out today. I knew the motor needed a good once over and had not planned on hoisting a sail since the halyards have a nice little issue with the sheathing coming off and bunching so that the sail cannot actually be raised all the way...

I'm in the process of downsizing and I'd like to pass along (if anyone's interested) some back volumes of Practical Sailor. I currently have Volume 30 2004 available to the first person interested in reimbursing postage. Contact me back channel.

New to sailing and purchased an E-29 just over a year ago. Have lots of questions, but will limit it to a couple? To rebed a toe rail (it is a toe rail or a genoa track?), can a person simply back the bolts out from topside, or is more involved? Pulled back the mahagony trim and could see a...

This was my first post and it was garbled, so I reposted it under the same heading. Sorry, rookie mistake.

Last fall my wife and Commander was diagnosed with a life threatening brain tumor. We were lucky and we found the guy we needed in Dr. Ellenbogan at Harbor View Hospital in Seattle and after a six hour surgery and four weeks at Harbor View and another three weeks at the University of Washington...

Hi. I'm 53 years old and have lived aboard the vast majority of my adult life. I have raced at various levels on many different boats. I live on the east coast. I will be living on the boat in New England in the summer and down to Florida, or abouts, in the winter. Intended usage --...

The title says it all. I have a lead on a 22' trailered boat that has sat for the last 10 years beside a barn in Ohio and has not been maintained. It needs to have a complete refurbish inside - new wood, new cabinets, the whole nine yards. I am told it is a 1980-era 22' Bayliner and...

Son Of A Sailor, Here are some shots of the guy who taught me to sail. My Dad who will be 83 next month. Dad's the guy in the white sweater. He's sailing with a buddy who used to be a broker for Pacific Sea Craft in the south Puget Sound near Olympia where Dad lives. This is as you can...

Keep an eye out for the January Practical Sailor - they are doing a review of the Ericson 41. Ericson 41, Used Sailboat Review The Ericson 41, a classic, well-made sloop designed by Bruce King continues to draw followers with its classic lines and solid performance. With the right upgrades...

The worst sailor I ever met had to be the owner of Windcheater, a 62 foot Gulfstar motorsailer with 106,000 lb displacement, during the 2002 MS Regatta, sailed in Portland Harbor, Maine. This is the largest sailing event in Maine with close to 300 vessels participating. I was sailing my 29...

Has anyone information about the Campbell Sailor prop used on an E27. Thanks Chris

I have an Ericson 32-200 with a Universal 23hp and I'm planning to change from a two blade fixed to a three blade Campbell Sailor. At first look I was going to use the Maxprop but after a $2000 discussion with the wife I think the $400 Cambell may be a better option. My reasons for changing are...

little late But certainly a lake sailor. Carlyle Lake, Carlyle IL.

I'm considering subscribing to Practical Sailor. Does it get more cheers or jeers from the current subscribers? Is it worth the money? Thanks, Andy
