E35-3 - New Jersey
Recently had some guests on board, and received the usual plaudits that seem to come when someone sees an Ericson for the first time. What struck me as humorous, though, was the time one person spent gushing over the chainplates. (“You could go to war with these,” was my favorite line.) The 35-3 is my first sailboat, so I must admit, I’m not very familiar with chainplates on other boats, and have never thought of these as being anything special. Are the Ericson chainplates that much different from others?
