thanks anyway :-) Oh well. I had a feeling that may be the case. Thank you anyway! -jay

Still have that door to the head? Hey WestCoast - I was wondering if you still have the door to the head. I understand that it has been some time since this thread was active, but perhaps there is still a chance. Thanks, Jay

The only reason I went all the way through was so that I could through bolt them. I'm not sure a tapping screw would have enough 'oomph' for my application. In addition to sailing in the Bay here, the boat is being prepped for offshore use. The headliner in my boat has gone though a few years...

you're just about right! here is a thread detailing the installation of the clutches for my array. http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=7067&referrerid=1480 I sail primarily in SF Bay, which in the summertime has regular winds in the slot of 25-30kts, so the loads on...

Just finished putting in the last two of the line clutches. Goal for this setup is maximum singlehandability. I don't want to have to rely on others to go enjoy an afternoon in the bay, so I want everything to be readily accessible. That meant that there would have to be six clutches on...

They sometimes go by 'Gadget Plate' as well. I've got one on my 29' and works great. I've got Reef 1 led aft, Main Sheet - which is double ended, main halyard, jib halyard, spinnaker halyard, outhaul, cunningham, vang, boom lift, topping lift, foreguy all led to the cockpit (if you can believe...

I've had the opposite experience. First tried bristol out about two years ago. The exterior version. Did a bunch of work - other boats included - and the finish is still as deep and rich as it was the day I put it on. One of the benefits to the Bristol Finish polyurethane finish is its quick...

29's okay I've lived aboard an Ericson 29 for several years, and find it to be perfectly adequate for one person (and a cat). The 29 may feel a little bigger due to the fact that the dinette table folds up, but it should work out for you if you can tolerate relatively small spaces. Cheers...

October? Hello all, I would certainly enjoy an Ericson Raft-Up, and October would work best for me. Sounds like fun! (guess I gotta finish up all those projects before then!)

No good Delta books Unfortunately, there are no good (current) cruising guides to the Delta. (which is a network of tributaries winding down from the Sierra Nevada to either the Sacramento or San Juaquin rivers, eventually draining into the San Francisco Bay and then the Pacific Ocean through...

good books (If you haven't already,) Check out Nigel Calder's Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Handbook. Very (if not overwhelmingly) informative. I bought this at the begining of my rewiring journey, and found it very helpful. cheers, Jay

I've got mid boom sheeting on my E29 It works great. I've had many years of trouble free sailing on San Francisco Bay, (except for the day my boom broke in half, but it was just really windy that day...) Anyhow, the traveller is on the coachroof, just forward of the companion way hatch. The...

Just wondering if anybody knew of any good Marine Stainless Steel Fabricators in the Los Angeles/Long Beach area. I need bow and stern pulpits for my E29, as well as new stanchions, and possibly, later on, dinghy davits. thanks! ******** 1973 Ericson 29 Moor'ea
