I sail and raced my 1971 with a tiler. I did have a tiller pilot for cruising and it worked fine except on blowing downwind tacks. Rick

I did not have hand rails inside the cabin. I did plce teak plugs over the bolt heads and finished so there where invisible.

My 1971 E29 had nuts glassed into the deck. When they started to rust away, I through drilled the deck and fiberglass headliner, Filled the void with 5 minute epoxy, they the next day drilled them out. I then used washers and acorn nuts on the inside for a good looking finish.

My old e29 has drier hoses from those after funnels to the engine box

After rebedding just about everything on my E29. I still had a leak. Discovered it was the rubber gasket are the port lights. I The Capt Creeping Crack Cure to find the leak. It worked for about two year and the 3rd year I filled them again. Rick

I think that most of the A4 fumes comes from out gassing from the carburetor.

My 1971 E29 weight is about 8500 pounds the Yanmar gm20 f was more than enough to move to hull speed.

Greetings to my Ericson Friends, When I retired I gave to my daughter my beloved ,E29. She is sailing her on Lake Ontario. I have just found an Ericson 31 Independence for sale in North Carolina. Asking 10 k and she has a 2011 Yanmar. We are in conversations about coming to visit the 31...

There is an old adage which can help ball park the size of engine needed... 4 Horse power per ton. At 10 tom boat needs around 40 horse power a 5 ton boat needs around 20 horse power.

The 1971 E29 has a conduit inside the mast. Rick

I has used aluminum foil, rolled into a ball to rub off corrosion on my mast. It is softer then the mast so it does not mar the finish, but help clean it up.

Wonderful account of fine adventure. I left NY and am living in Oriental
