sound

Hello, I’ve noted over the years a kind of creak or pop sound on the starboard side of the cockpit at the cabin bulkhead. Never thought much of it at sea in waves. Never felt it much at anchor till now. Conditions are less than optimal. 45° swell rocks the boat. Mostly gentle. But we know...

Was at the helm of a friend's Ericson 38 a few days ago (I own a Tayana 37) and kept hearing a clunking sound under my feet, especially if I turned the wheel quickly. I crawled down and looked at the quadrant, which by way of a cursory inspection, looked good and did not appear to be slipping...

Hello All, I'm in the process of R-n-R'ing the 5432 in my E38 with a used engine. In the process of removing the engine several other things are receiving attention including the lack of sound insulation. There is essentially NO sound insulation on my boat. The factory stuff was only...

Anyone know of a good place to buy (and look at first) used sails between Seattle Anacortes, WA and North Puget Sound--ideally in the north end. Headsail(s) needed for E34. thanks!

So far we have come down from Anacortes to Seattle Taking it real slow and having a blast. Here are some pics http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=151450&id=531651468&l=cb40973aeb

Looking at the charts it appears as though one could plot a course from Nantucket Harbor to Cuttyhunk that took you between Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard through Muskeget Channel. It looks like it could be a bit dodgy too with 6 1/2 foot draft. Obviously timing the tide would be important too...

Summary: I'm wondering if anyone takes this route (north) out of Tacoma or do they stick to the shipping lanes. Location: West side of Vashon (vs. East). Features: I've read that the current runs north regardless of ebb or flood tide. Issues: I'm wondering what issues there might...

It doesn't get any better than this. There was a fresh breeze from the south west, and the flag on the staff was fluttering...I fired up the diesel, cast off the lines, and headed out into the sound...no deadline, no expectations, no worries. Once clear of Lyle pont, I headed into the breeze...

Hey, I'm looking to spend my money on a nice upgrade and a feathering prop would do nicely. The Kiwiprop seems a nice product, simple, effective, etc. It also got a great review in the latest PS. www.kiwiprop.co.nz So: Who has one? How do you like it? Whats it installed on? Who did you...

Summary: Port Gamble Bay and the town of Port Gamble, although a historic and interesting place, is not a popular boating destination because of its lack of a marina or other pleasure boating-related shore facility. The town is the location of the late Pope & Talbot Sawmill, recently closed...

fall Hi Sean Thanks for the email sending me to the Ericson site! Will there be a fall meet this year? We are moving our 39 to alyn this month and will be sailing all over from blaine to alyn so in our slow sail to south sound would enjoy meeting other ericson owners. Again thanks...

Here are a couple shots of the Redondo Beach area of Puget Sound. Redondo is now in the city of Des Moines, Washington. In the background of the first shot is Maury Island. A block or so to the north along the beach is Salty's Restaurant. (Bring your parent's credit card.) Note the large beach...

We are heading for Barkley sound for several weeks, likely departing Neah Bay on Aug. 7. Anyone else heading that direction? Dick & Karen Elliott, E34 "Chandelle".

I know that it is a ways off, but anyone interested in a really fun race/party in the Puget Sound should really consider the Sloop Tavern Race to the Straits on May 1 and 2. Briefly, the race is open to single or double-handed boats. The race is time on distance, so the slowest boats start...

My 35-3 has minimal sound proofing overall with material located on the removable top and face cover only. Consequently she is rather noisy in the cabin and less but annoying in the cockpit. The port and starboard sides of the engine compartment have absolutely no padding material. Here we...

In case you were not aware, the next event for the Northwest Ericson group is at McMicken Island, in South Puget Sound over the Memorial Day Weekend. McMicken Island is a state park located between Hartstene Island and the Longbranch Peninsula, due north of Olympia. For more...
