The companionway ladder in my E 30+ is not very secure, it has a habit of leaving its place at the most inopportune time (like when I am stepping up into the cockpit!) and if your not quick causing serious bruises. Hopefully none of you have experienced this, but if you have how have you secured...

Hi Everyone, Another question regarding holding tank replacement. The previous owner had replaced the original tank with a bladder tank which was very scary indeed. In doing so, they removed all of the structure that held the original tank in place. I'm assuming it was wood but have no...

Hi all, The fuel tank in my E-35 Mkll is not strapped in. Currently its V bottomed shape conformes to the hull's stern shape and two peices of 2x2 wood epoxied to the hull on each side of the tank keep the tank nesseled in snuggly. The fuel fill hose is the only force pushing the tank down...
