Hi Everybody, You all know the old saying about the two happiest days in a boat owners life… From my perspective that is not true. My wife and I were looking forward to winding down our careers and happily spending time enjoying the San Juan and Gulf islands on our E28+. Unfortunately my...

Fuel tank Hi, is it possible to send a picture and/or dimensions? I removed the leaky tank from or 28+ and would like to re-install an OEM tank. Thanks, Dan E28+ Jewel suciabound at Gmail.com

Another Birthday! Jewel is turning 30 this year too! Dan & Julie Jewel 1984 E28+

Whoo hoo! Looking at the charts and planning the trip now! :egrin: So far the plan is a night at Sucia, a couple of nights at Stuart and then across to Bedwell to check in, spend the night and then over to Maple Bay. After that we will probably go to Salt Spring for a day or two and then back...

Made our reservations today! Jewel is going to be there with her faithful crew, Julie, Dan, Bosun and Ava. (Bosun and Ava are the canine watchstanders.) See you in June! Dan & Julie E28+ Jewel

:egrin: Slip 27 for us! See you in June! Dan and Julie E28+ Jewel

Count us in! :egrin: Dan and Julie Jewel E28+ Bellingham

28+ Hi Dave, The boat is designed to have the engine slightly offset. Attempting to align the engine with the centerline of the boat would involve major modifications and glass work to move the shaft log. Having the shaft offset does allow the shaft to be removed without dropping the...

E28+ Hi Dave, We have a 1984 E28+. The pull you experience while motoring is because the engine is slightly offset from the centerline of the boat. The prop shaft is a couple of inches to the port from the center. Under sail you will never notice a thing. The starboard list is also an...

OCC Alumnus Hi Kirby, I spent a couple of years taking advantage of the classes that OCC offers. I took the electrical class to prepare for some diy projects and ended up staying for diesel, navigation, radar, rules of the road, weather, and ended with the license course in Spring of 2004...

Leaving Bellingham Thursday, 6-15 :egrin: We are heading across from Bellingham and have a slip reserved at Roche Harbor for Thursday night. Anyone else going that way? Dan and Julie Jewel E28+

E28+ Fuel Tank I have taken the fuel tank out of our 1984 E28+ twice. The access is easy through the quarterberth and other than removing the fill hose, fuel lines, etc. there was no problem. No disassembly of any boat structure was required. Dan and Julie Jewel E28+ :egrin:

:egrin: Bellingham Cold Storage has a web cam with corresponding weather data. They recorded a 69 mph gust with lots more in the mid-60's. No damage for us other than getting a little damp while trying to tie our finger pier onto the main dock so it wouldn't break...

:esad: The last forecast I heard on the radio is calling for even stronger gusts possible. It looks like I am leaving work early today to take the dodger and the main off the boat. Dan & Julie Jewel E28+ Bellingham, WA Tonight Rain...windy. Lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s...
