sheet

The PO of my E35-2 moved the Main sheet traveller from the bridge deck just in front of the pedestal, to the forward end of the cockpit.<O:p</O:p I had originally thought of returning it to its right full place, giving unobstructed access to the cabin. But, as I intend to use the boat for...

Hi, Our 1978 E34t's original traveler is located just aft of the companionway - great for sail handling, less than ideal for cruising with kids and dog. Last weekend we noticed an aloha that had a similar setup to ours, where the owners had moved the sheet to the cabin top using a bridle...

http://www.harken.com/rigtips/Reeving_Diagrams.php I just found this while searching for a larger and easier-to-read version of the diagram for my main sheet configuration. These are great PDF drawings from Harken, for several different block setups. You can d/l any or all and print 'em...

Greetings .... this is my first post .... please be gentle .... Bought a '76 E27 last weekend in Newport, OR ..... it has the split cockpit (but the wheel has been removed) with the main traveler mounted on the cockpit divider. So the block will be at the end of the boom. One of the many...

There is a molded trough with drainage at cockpit seat level for the track. I suspect a previous owner fitted this entire trough with a piece of mahogony to raise the track so the car would travel unhindered. It was poorly bedded and trapped moisture. Rainwater soaked this wood and leaked...

I have an E-38, & while racing smaller boats, while reaching with the spin I don't seem to be able to walk away from them. Using a general purpose tri radial, 3/4 oz, & I know I need a 1.5 starcut, but I was wondering where you have your spin sheets led to. I am thinking of trying to...

We just got an asymettrical for our boat, and I'm trying to figure out how best to attach the sheets. On our old boat we simply made a loop in the middle of a single, really long sheet, passed it through the clew, and ran the two ends through it (I saw a reference in a sailnet article that...

My port sheet winch (Barient 27 self tailing) is getting a bit sticky in the colder weather, the drum doesn't turn freely. I need to service it. I have good info (schematics) in my owners file. I did this with a previous boat, Lewmar 2 speed non self tailing. And Lewmar sent me a service kit...

I will be replacing the Genoa Sheets on my 74 E-35 Mk II. What size and type would be best? I am new at a boat this large and hope to buy the right stuff. Thanks, Vern Kleist Whisper

Greetings, I have a 1990 E34 in Dana Point Ca. and am in need of advice. This week end I was sailing along in about 15 Knots of wind and the center block for my main sheet broke away from the boom. No panic because there are two other blocks attached to the boom. In examining the boom, it...

I have an asymetrical spinnaker and I was wondering if any other E38 owners had any recommendations regarding the sheet lead. My track does not extend to the stern and I have no turning block located aft of the track. My solution to date hase been to put a block as far aft on the track as I...

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...

Hi folks, I am finishing up my first overhead hatch this weekend - replacement of the 1/2-inch thick acrylic. Learned alot, didn't swear too much, turned out pretty good (iidssm*). This weekend I'll take it to the boat for a test fit and see if I have to replace the gasket also. I used...

Hello All, Looking for some advice. My main sheet gear on my 1982 E-38 is worn out and I'm looking to replace it. I have looked a Garhauer equipment. Any pro's and con's? The fellow I spoke to at Garhauer recomended I replace the fiddle block attached to the traveller with a triple block...

sheet sizing E27 I am looking for recommended jib (120%) sheet diameters for good all around performance on an 1974 Ericson 27 with roller furling. Thanks in advance. Steve
