    E28+ Rub Rail Plastic Extrusion

    On Oct. 7th we had a nor'easter rip through Long Island Sound, and it kicked up 50 knot winds and 6 foot waves at Morris Cove in New Haven harbor. The Aluminum casting on the bow was broken in half and the rub rail came loose all the way to the stern. The force of the pennant also broke part of...

    Annoying Leak

    I had a similar leak... in my E28+. It was the through hull in the transom just above the water line for the cockpit drain. The original TH was just a sheet metal pipe through the transom which leaked where the hose from the cockpit was connected. It would also let in water while under power...

    Boomkicker on an E28+

    While my mast is down, it seems a good time to eliminate the topping lift and put in a rigid vang. The Boomkicker looks interesting and is pretty affordable. Anyone out there have any experience with it???? Thanks Mark Tuccillo 1983 E28+ "Wing It"

    My new cabin sole for 1983 E28+

    My New Cabin Sole I used only bronze square drive #10 3/4 " counter sunk screws. Along the centerline the sole needed quite a few screws to eliminate any "spring" in the sole. Then I moved out from there, using more screws in areas where the sole curved. I then added screws in places where...
