Rob... I suspect the Cut is the problem with my genoa. the clew comes down very low. I wonder how your 130 is cut... I'm not well versed in sailmaking either. It had been suggested to me to perhaps go for a design with a much higher clew, closer to something like a Yankee. But I just...

O.K. my wife Taryn and I are in the midst of major outfitting wo we can shoove off and go Cruising- extended Cruising with some serious Offshore. we're plannning about 4 years, leaving from the North East, to sail around the Carribean, than at some point sooner or later go the Canal and cross...

Westerbeke also has a new Panel/ Transmission package etc. I agree. when I do the repower I will do my best to adress all items from Fuel delivery, air circulation, and exhaust to put the boat in the best operating position. One reason why my current motor took the bad hit, was that my panel...

How about Westerbeke 44B I've come across a later model 38 on Used Boats dot com advertising the Westerbeke 44B installed in 2006. Boat is on the Cheapeake. I sail out of Baltimore for now, till we shove off, Does anyone ahve direct experience in the area with a repower of an Ericson 38...

Universal M35B Hey Wiggle... What is the HP on the M35B? is that 35HP? my Universal 5432 in there now with 32 hp seems to be just enough. I'm probably going to do a repower on my 38 because we plan to go offshore and possibly halfway around the world. I will probably have it in my budget...

Funy thing Loren, I was just on a BetaMarine Site trying to find pricing. Looks like they put out a 43 Hp might be a nice option for my 38' Do you by chance have any idae what these engines are priced at for USD?

Hours are unknown. Just bought the boat in July. I've had some fuel issues this summer, have replaced about 5 filters. I also unfortunatley blew my head gasket after running the engine for about an hour an half without having the raw water seacock open... OUCH I know, bad move... that's a...

Hi, Help me out please... Has anyone put a new power plant in their Ericson 38? Mine is 1982, and my wife and I will be going offshore for a few years... Our 26 year old Universal just doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence as it has been the major source of problems on our boat. I want...

Rudder in the garage THANK You Burgner. I really appreciate the effort set forth to provide this information. Can you confirm with certainty that the RUdder in your garage is from an Ericson 38? What was the draft of the boat this rudder is from?, what year was it launched? Before...

I'm working with the famous Yves of Cape-Horn Windvanes as I wish to install a Cape-Horn Vane on my Ericson 38 Synchronicity. The question has been possed- What is the area of the Rudder... Would anyone have the answer to this question. I have 1982 Ericson 38' with the 4' 11" draft. Does...
