sails

Hi everyone! I was recently given my dad's starter (1976 Ericson 27'). It's great in so many ways but has so much potential. We sail very often (mainly during summer/early fall on Puget sound) to Kingston, Port Ludlow, Lanley, etc. I absolutely love it. I am still a novice (only been sailing...

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...

I have several Ericson 38 sails in almost new condition, all having been used very lightly for only a few weeks/half a season. Purchased for my 1984 Ericson 38 which met with an accident during a storm at the dock. The boat was totaled by the insurance company and the sails were not on the boat...

Hello, I have 4 sails for sale, a main sail, a jib, a genoa and a gennaker. Please contact me for details. philippecprevost@gmail.com Thanks

Used 150 Genoa for roller furling from an Ericson 34-2 measures Luff 44 ft. Foot 22.5. Unsure of age but based on limited boat history and good condition of sail I suspect it has 1 season in the Chesapeake and 7 seasons in Maine. Built by North, has rope inserts at luff for better sail shape...

We recently acquired an Ericson 25 which has soft decks and unfortunately not able to restore. We do have parts available if anyone is in need. Centerboard, Rudder, Mast, Boom, Sails, Cushions, etc. If anyone here is interested in purchasing, it would be greatly appreciated. Will certainly help...

Hey! Loaded topic here A couple weeks ago while tacking my genoa's leech line got caught on the mast and began to rip out of its pocket. The sail itself is pretty old and needs some TLC. The rip is almost the full height of the sail. I am going to have to take down the sail and start sowing her...

Hurricane Harvey nearly destroyed SV Finally in Port Aransas Texas. She's still floating and no damage to the hull but the rigging is ruined... mast and sails. Anyone know where to begin looking for a new mast? What about a mast substitute from a different model boat? I'm also going to need...

I had an 1972 Ericson 32 with tall rig. I have 14 sails available. Will sell all of the for $1,000. If you are serious - email: bowdentr@gmail.com

I am the new proud owner of an Ericson 35-3 and I knew I would have this problem sooner or later. I was hoping it would be later. Oh well. I need a new Genoa. It looks like the one that come with the boat is a 150. The Sail Loft is recommending a 135. But, this is not my question. What...

I sail a 1971 Ericson 29 in the San Francisco Bay with a couple partners. We're mostly day sailors...occasionally, we race in the beer can series but mainly sail around in the slot in all conditions. Our mainsail and head sail are old, blown out North Sails. Actually, really old, blown out...

I'm looking for a larger headsail for light winter days - I have Harken roller furling, and right now the only jib I have is less than 100%, so I'd be interested in anything from about 125% to 150%, in fair or better condition. Anybody need to make some space in their sail locker??? Sarah:egrin:

Time to replace sails. Does anyone know whether the 32-200 has the Mk3 Tall Rig or the same as the 333? Does anyone have experience ordering replacement sails online? I am specifically looking for the specifications for 100% and 135% roller-furling headsails, but additional sail info also...

I have the following for sale. Shipping and PayPal are extra. 1). 170% Genoa. Although 34 years old, this sail is like new. Had it inspected by DDS Sailmakers here in Nashville, Tenn. yesterday. He was amazed at the excellent condition. It is made for use with a foil system. Luff is...

Has anyone sailed with crosscut laminate sails? A loft I have talked to is recommending a crosscut Laminate instead of a tri-radial 155. Any experience or knowledge on this would be appreciated.

I had something very disturbing happen to our sails after they were cleaned by Quantum Sail Design in Annapolis. First of all, a few weeks ago as part of getting our E-32 ready for the season, I picked up our set of sail at Quantum that were there for some repair and cleaning. They also stored...

Hello all, Ragtop is a 1971 E 35 and I'm looking to race her this spring. Looking for a good used jib and/or mainsail to be used for racing. I'm located in San Diego. Thanks!!

I'm shopping around for a new main, and possibly a 110 for my E-38. A couple of guys are offering multisail discounts. Sounds crazy, but I'm wondering if anyone else is shopping now and may want to combine on an order to get deeper discount. Contacted quite a few lofts, and narrowed down...

Starting to think about sails for Goin' Rogue (E26-300). A new main and 135 roller is at the top of the upgrade list. I have starting researching the obvious lofts... Doyle, North, etc. Comparing every aspect of construction/price, etc is daunting at best. I have yet to contact MACK Sails...

Greetings to all:egrin: Hood sails in Sausalito started a good idea which has run out of economic energy:mad:...Hence this posting. Are there enough people involved in this group willing to get together and figure out a way to get the 200 plus sails already gathered, with more possible I'm...

I cleaned our main sail over the weekend and was wondering what everyone else does to clean their sails? I used woolite and vinagar to a water mix I got off the net, we are inland and the main is in good shape, it still has that crispy feel to it, all the threads looked good, the luff and the...

If you are familiar with the 35-II's handling I really could use some of the groups collective wisdom. Thanks. I have spent the last 5 years slowly rehabbing our 1976 35-II (electrical, plumbing, deck re-core, standing & running rigging are finally done) and it is now time to replace the...

Very good condition, asking $395 each Don dkerkhof5@att.net

Hi, I salvaged a E35 Mk ll that had about 15 years of Northwest use before it got off a mooring and sunk in 1988. It had been sitting away from salt air since so the hardware is pretty decent. The mast and boom are painted white. Spreaders are rotten, rigging wire and turnbuckles look good...

Just thought I'd inquire if anyone has sails kicking around for E 25 + or any other gear relative to the E 25 +. Thanks.

Time to replace my sails. Would like to go with another 155% headsail again. Roller furling. Suggestions for best direction to go or any for sale? Thanks

Anyone have any experience with OEM-type sails from Sail Warehouse? http://thesailwarehouse.com/ I don't need offshore products, just cleaner and crisper versions of what I have now. Their prices seem pretty reasonable. Fred Nelson Ericson 23 Mark II #344 Ad Astra

I recently purchased a 77 E29 tall rig and it is missing the headsail and spinnaker. I would like to repace the headsail, the spinnaker is not a big deal. Does anybody have anything? Thanks!

We have for sale some sails off of our Ericson 27 which we lost in transport last year. :boohoo: Since we havn't replaced our boat due to the economic downturn and they are languishing in storage we finally hauled them out and have attached pictures and hand measurements (dont really know how to...

I have some rigging and a used mast / boom from an old E23 that has gone to Ericson heaven. It aint pretty, but it isn't broken at least. If anyone has an interest I'll let it go cheap, or even trade? I could always use other stuff. whaddya got? Powerboat stands? bottom paint? Yeah, that...

A standard rig E27. So, the new main is on order and looking at headsail options for the Bay. I've got an inside track near the mast and an outside genoa track alongside the cockpit I'd like to get one sail that sheets cleanly to the inside track to improve pointing. Perhaps a 95 - 105%...

Hi all. I'm interested in a new or used set of sails for my E29. For one, I'm not sure what sail size and material I should consider for general S.F. Bay cruising and racing. I plan to race very casually, and I have a genoa furler on the boat, which I plan on using for racing as well. I know...

Well, we have 11 bags of sails that came with our boat. Many have rarely ever been used. I think we are going to keep the working jib and a 170 Genoa. Our main is very dirty but seems to be in good shape overall. However, the Admiral would like to have a new mainsail with the ericson logoa...

I've had my 1988 Ericson 26, Popeye, since 1990. My family and I used it to cruise across the Great South Bay for day trips to Fire Island.

I am seeking advise on spot cleaning of sails , dacron , especially the dark, "dirt mixed with grease" spots that occur around the foot ,tack and clew areas of the main, because of sloppy hardware lubrications. What to stay away from? thanks

Many times, a sail which has a hooked leech (headsail) or draft too far aft (main or headsail), or too much/not enough luff curve (main or headsail) can be greatly improved with a savy sailmakers' scissors and sewing machine. Apart from the leech issue-the best candidates for recuts are NOT...

Just raced my 1987 E34 in 15-30 knots. I furled a 140 to around 125 or less and put a flattening reef in the main. Did quite well. Afterwards a gentleman, who had owned a 87 E35 said I would have been much better off going with the 140 and a reefed main. Any thoughts relative to this boat...
