    E29 vs E35 mk II

    We have been sailing our 35-2 on Lake Erie out of Fairport Harbor for 20 years. We looked at the 29, which is still on the hard in Fairport, before we bought the 35. I've been very happy with our 1972 boat with the Atomic 4 engine. There are obvious safety issues with gasoline but with proper...

    E-35 II Encapsilated Backstay Chainplate

    I was wondering if anyone knows how the backstay chainplate is installed on an E-35 II. It looks to me that it is glassed in place without through bolts.

    Bimini For Ericson 35-2

    Has anyone built or had made a helmsman bimini for an ER 35-2. We sail on Lake Erie and believe it or not, there are many hot,sunny days when a little shade would come in handy. I'm fairly handy with buiding projects and know a good seamstress if there are plans out there somewhere. Or if...
