Although I am loath to part with her, life has dictated that I sell my beloved 1983 Ericson 30+. Engine is not new any longer but she has been repowered with a universal diesel m3-20a. Starts right up and never a problem. Low hours. Upgrades: new marine 60amp battery charger (2013), alder...

Mainsail Cover Hi, I have a spare Mainsail cover for my 30+. Its a little bigger but it is an older one that I'm not going to use. Would let it go cheap. Let me know if you want some pics.

Source for 30+ ubolt chain plates Hey folks, I have been emailing with Rig Rite Custom parts department and they stock this item. Very expensive however. Here is the part number. It is a Nav Tec Part. They have a couple in stock but are able to make more. Nav UBA-8S-2.5 (1/2" x 2 1/2"...

Does anyone have a source for replacment u bolts (in leu of chain plates on the my boat). Found a hairline crack in one and can't seem to find the same size on the open market. Really don't want to undertake resizing them and having to fill and redrill holes etc. Thanks folks.

U Bolt Replacement While removing the u bolts that secure my stantions to the deck of my 30+ I discovered a hairline crack in one of them. Does anyone know where to get replacements. I check most of the usual sources with little luck finding the same size. Any help greatly appreciated.

Coring under stanchion bases I just had the great experience of cutting up an salvaged E-30+, which is very similar to the 28, and it had plywood core under the stantion bases. Most of the rest of the deck was balsa.

fixed Ports Tenders, A pleasure meeting you and your daughter as well. It was a very nice evening. Thanks for the source on the ports. I may take one from the wrecked Ericson on the barge but it's nice to have an option. See you around the club.

Hello 30+ owners. I recently discoved a 30+ that has broken loose of her mooring and been totaled. The salvage yard is planning on cutting up. I am working on gaining access to purchase parts. Anyone interested in Ericson specific parts let me know.

Shattered It had an adhesive uv tint on it which kept it from going all over the settee but I finished that job trying to get it out. It doesn't seem like the frame comes apart. I removed all of the screws and the inner frame comes off but the groove holding the glass does not open up. I...

Having shattered the glass on one of my fixed ports I was wondering if anyone would have any insight on how to replace it without removing the port. It doesn't leak now and I don't want to mess with a good thing. Thanks for any assistance.

When we returned from a recent day sail in about 10 - 20knts yesterday I noticed that the starboard port (not the opening port but the fixed port) was shattered. It looks like the lead car may have hit it but that seems unlikely. A friend suggested that my rig may be too tight. Any advice on...

Mylar Kevlar 153 I need to remove this post since having done a few club races with this sail I have fallen in love with it. Thanks for your interest though. You are quite correct this boat sails like a dream.

Great condition mylar kevlar 153 for sale for Ericson 30+. Recently recut for improved performance by sobstad. Just purchased the boat and don't really have any use for a racing sail. Would consider trades for 2hp outboard, or asym spinaker.
