I have a 1980 e-35. when I bought the boat the top side looked in good shape and was shiney. Over the last two years a majority of the topside has gotten a powdery supstance on it. I have been told and I do not believe its oxidation. I have tried to buff it out, sand it, used some chemicals...

Hi all, I want to renew my weaved line on my cockpit wheel that marks top dead center for the rudder (probably not the right term--but I'm hopeful that you know what I mean). The old marker was probably original with the boat--and appears to have been "woven" directly onto the wheel. Anyone...

Hi folks. Still shopping for my next Ericson. Two for sale locally have a near identical cracks along the top aft edge of the transom... you can see a few pictures of one here. I found a description of a very similar problem here. Some exerpts below. Does this sound familiar to anyone...

As a way of making the boat a bit more family friendly, I am considering relocating the mainsheet on my '78 E34t to the cabintop using a bridle system (2 mainsheets in a triangular configuration attached to fixed points on the cabin top) to save on the expense of installing a traveller. I plan...

My boat came with two 18" sail tracks either side of the cabin top hatch, which puts them just a couple of feet behind the mast,. I have never used them, does anyone know what they are for? Gareth Freyja E35 #241 1972

Has anyone with a mid eighties boat replaced the teak hand rails with stainless rails? I have removed the rails on my 1987 E-34 so I can refinish them, and have been wondering if I should replace them with stainless elliptical tubing to save having to do this again in the future. It is very...

My old HP Pavilion xh485 is just not up to the task of running the newest version of Nobeltec, it only has 4meg of video ram. The old laptop had a problem with visibility in direct sunlight but since it is 5 years old I figure that there have been some improvements. So I am on the market for a...

I'm thinking about replacing the pads under the cabin top winches and line stoppers on my 32-3. In my on going effort to reduce the maintenance on any exterior wooden trim, these 5 pads look like easy targets that won't do great harm to the overall look. Has anyone replaced these with...
