it really depends on your approach angle into the leeward mark AND how much turn the boat will be making (towards the next mark). The spin on that boat looks rather manageable. No pole (Mexican) is best when the boat is making a considerable turn into the wind. Letter box is probably safest...

We've recently replaced all lines on our E35-II. We're using Marlow, D2 Racing (all white). We use 10mm for Main, Jib, and Spin halyards and jib sheets and after guys. We use 8mm on spin sheets, topping lift & foreguy, and boom vang. We use 6mm for small control lines (outhaul, Cunningham, etc)...

We recently restored the topsides of an E35-II with a hull polishing, new stripes (adjusted waterline) and painted the transom. We went through a deep analysis of the color matching and found the Awlgrip "Matterhorn White" to best match our existing hull / shade. HOWEVER - with varying degrees...

The bottom / rudder / stripes / transom project was time consuming - thus costly. However, we are very pleased with the outcome.

Yes - it was well cared for for 45 years and we had it polished out after we finished the new bottom and stripes.

The existing (stock) boom has had 45 years of modifications. We'd like to have a fresh extrusion with a proper outhaul system (internal), boom vang setup, and internal reefing (option). We're restoring the boat to be as clean and functional as possible

We'd like to replace our E35-II boom. Any suggestions on something clean, with internal outhaul and topping lift - also a boom vang setup??? much appreciate!

Our E35-II also sat off her lines a bit (low aft). Getting this straight was a challenging effort AND then leveling the new boot stripe (while keeping it the original thickness) was also challenging. We seeked the advise and support of the professionals and I was amazed at the complexity of the...

This E35-II (hull #424) recently returned from 45 years in Lake Michigan and is undergoing cleanup and restoration in Long Beach. Once the project is completed, she will return to Newport Beach for daysailing, racing, and family enjoyment.

Has anyone created an E35-II Line Drawing that can be used for graphics, crew gear, t-shirts, etc??? Much Appreciated!! JK Fuller / SoCal

Is there a color chart or listing of the original stipe (sheer and boot) colors for the E35-MII?? We're about to begin restoration project and would like to be as "period-correct" as possible. Much Appreciated, JK Fuller Newport Beach, CA
