Hi, I had a thought. My autopilot is a Raymarine S1 wheel pilot. Tomorrow I am planning to tune it up a bit. It's not really performing as well as I would like it to. There are probably something like 5 to 10 autopilots tops that people use on Ericsons. My thought is that it might be nice...

Hi, I had to pull the mast on our 1984 E30+ to repair the electrical connections for mast lights, and want to get the rig tuned right after re-attaching the shrouds. I know the general process for tuning the rig, but am having a bit of trouble getting the mast absolutely centred on the...

I recently purchased a 71 E23 Mk I. I'm trying to find an official or un-official users manual or tuning guide for the rigging. I don't have any info on setting up and am getting ready to take the mast down and fit with Dwyer mast hinge #2150. While to boat is currently in the water and...

Any tips on what the rig tuning should be for a 1980 E-38 SD? It appears to my eye that my rig has either no rake, or may even be a little forward. I was going to move back a little, but a seasoned friend said that since I already seem to have some weather helm, to sail as is for a while...

Hello All, Went out for a cruise this afternoon with the E38. Driving upwind/closehauled with 150% Genoa all the way out and full battened main in 16-17kts of wind. I went forward to check out the mast tuning and here is what I found: Very slight leeward bend in mast on both tacks. Slight...

Can anyone assist me with the rig tune for my 84 30+? I don't have a backstay adjuster, and am a cruiser only. I can't get the attention of a rigger here, too busy. Thanks! Graham.

Well... after many posts and questions, I am proud to report that our mast was FINALLY stepped today. After wading through the deluge of rain we have had and extended flooding, we had our mast stepped today. She really looks great! The next step is to get our rigging figured out. My...

Greetings. I just bought a 1984 Ericson 28+. So far I haven't found any spec's on tuning the mast. Rack, prebend, shroud tention and the like. she's a fractional rig with no running back stay and roller furl. Does anyone know, or point me in the right direction? David. Thank you.

Does anyone have (even if unofficial) the Loos tension gauge specs for the Ericson 29. I know about keeping the boat in column and all that...I am trying to get specific ratings. Thanks Jim

Does anyone know where I can get a tuning guide for an E34? A Catalina 32 walked away from me this weekend and I gotta blame it on the boat 'cause I did everything right!:rolleyes: Seriously, I don't think the rig has been tuned in 13 years. The original owner, from whom I bought it, didn't...
