Nice photo, but not much of the sail to make a judgement. I'll take your word for it being a "bedsheet". Going to the boat tomorrow/Fri and if it's not ugly weather for about an hour, I'll raise the sail and take a picture for you. But...I wouldn't count on even decent weather tomorrow. If...

Guess I should have check in more detail above to see that you are on Lake Champleain,VT.

Filkee - Being new to the Ericson "family" since we bought the boat only a year ago at from a fellow yacht club member, I'd have to say that the sail is only about 10 years old. And...located here on the Columbia River where it has spent it's entire life, there is no wear and tear. I've been...

Alright...I've had some lookers but no replies. So...my 32-3 main cost has been reduced to $700....a give-away!! 2+2 batten system, two reefs made by Neil Pryde and in very good shape. I'm replacing it with my companies (Ballard Sails/Seattle) new main. I'll even ship it to you. Cliff Hunter...

This is a must have for someone who is in the hunt for a mainsail. Since I now represent Ballard Sails out of Seattle, I think it is expected that I would complete my sail inventory with a new main. Which is currently being built. I already have a new Ballard headsail. This main is a 2 + 2...

Just registered for the rendezvous in hopes of making it all the way from Portland with our Ericson 32-3 FIRST LOOK. Cliff Hunter Portland, OR

It's the Goldilocks measure system for the Strong Track. You want to measure "just right" of course but "too short" is an issue and "too long" can easily be rectified by a simple cut. As I mentioned earlier...take notice that the S.T. slides are a bit longer. But...you should be able to drop...

Several things can happen to move that sail down enough to reach the headboard. I have installed and sold a good number of Tides Strong Tracks of which you have mentioned. With the internal main luff track, Tides will cut the lower (below mast gate) internal section so as the track, and in...
