Hi VanillaDuck, I know it’s been a couple years, but do you recall what length of line you purchased for your reef lines? Also: is that 1/4” line, and dd you run it back to the cockpit or leave it at the mast? Many thanks to you and all others for the great detailed descriptions on this topic.

The These sails have been sold

Pentex Tri-radial

ERC32-3 Sails for sale. Main sail & 155% furling genoa. They've gotten a lot of use over a period of about 5 years. I think $500 for the pair sounds about right, but I'll take offers. I really don't want to ship them but I will. I'd prefer to have the buyer pick up in Orange County, CA...

This came with my boat. North Sails. I have never used it, or even inspected it really. Happy to pass it along to a new home. Luff tape might be #6, but I’m not sure. Buyer pays shipping or picks up at my house in Newport Beach, CA. It’s priced to move, I don’t have the space to store it...

Geoff, this looks spectacular! I checked Filucy Bay on a map...seems like a really nice place to sail an Ericsson! Thanks for your interest in my post. I’m going to try to create a post re: our racing experience and our rigging.

Newport to Ensenada We did the Newport to Ensenada race last month. It took us just about 30 hours. What a blast! Too bad I don't have a photo of us finishing, but this is us approaching Todos Santos Bay in the home stretch. Ericson 32-3 "Tui" Newport Beach

Is this an Ericson 32-3 Polar?

Greetings, My Ericson 32-3 was set up for cruising when I purchased it. I'm in the process of setting it up for racing and I'm looking for ideas / suggestions on location of the foreguy block, the leads, etc. We anticipate doing end for end gybes. I would be grateful if anyone would share...

Thank you both for the quick responses. The track looks great. I will have to consider that. Peace!

Hello all - I plan on installing a pole on my 1985 Ericson 32-3. The mast doesn't have a ring installed on it. Anyone have advice on the proper height to fix it (distance from the deck)? Many Thanks! Brian
