First Rendezvous Learned about it as we pulled out of Everett Marina yesterday thanks to a fellow Ericson owner (sorry didn't catch the boat name, but thank you). I requested a slip in Langley this morning for "Makani" so I hope to get in. Have never been to a rendezvous before but in reading...

That's what I figured. Just wanted to confirm before I put all the mounting screws in. On the E-27 those buggers aren't the easiest to get at. Thanks so much for the reply. Doug and Melanie Sherman E-27 "Makani" Snohomish, WA

I recently rebuilt my Atomic 4 and am in the process of reinstalling it. Got the engine and shaft couplings aligned and everything turns easily by hand. The engine however appears to be at about a 2 to 3 degree angle to starboard from the boats centerline. Is this normal? 1973 E-27...

Schematic Did you ever get a copy of the schematic? I too could use it. My wiring was mostly ripped out except for some tiny ends sticking out of the fiberglass. Been a real challenge toning the various wires.Thanks,Doug

Thanks David I really wasn't sure but from what I've read now I'd better be safe than sorry. I thought perhaps I'd drop a "sling" down either side and tie it up in place. Really would like avoid a very cold swim in Puget Sound.

Hello All, I need to pull the rudder head off my E23-1 to have some work done on it (a tiller ear broke off). My question and BIG concern is, will I loose my rudder and shaft to the bottom when I pull the head? I would assume that there are pins to keep it from dropping out but I've made...

Wow, thanks Mark! That looks beautiful and I hope I can be that ambitious when I get that project going. I bought "Melanie Ann" off Craigslist for $600 last spring. She had about 6" of water inside her and some relatively major damage midships from getting caught under the dock. I made a...

Does anyone know where I might find drawings and measurements of the E-23 Mk1 interior? Mk2 drawings may help too as I would like to add the little galley they came with. I have E-23 Mk1, Hull #131 and am making it a bit more user friendly. Thanks, Doug

I'm interested in getting a 150 for my E-23. Have you used the 150's recently? What are the measurements of the 150's? What brand of sail? Been looking around without much success and getting frustrated. Hope we can work something out. I'm in the Puget Sound area so we're almost neighbors...
