    Jib sold now. New Shafer furler and sail installed. Next project is to re-seal the port lights. Any suggestions where I can get the rubber seals?

    Atomic 4 Died. What next?

    Previous owner of my E 27 replaced the Atomic with a 9hp Merc. I sold that for 1500 and replaced it with a new Toatsu 20 (smalest outboard with elect start and auto lift. Also decided to strengthen the transom with a larger and thicker marine plywood and fiberglass backing plate. Amazing...

    New (to me) E27 in Sausalito

    Hi ibarreto, As a novice sailor, I picked up a '75 fixer E27 about a year ago and I'm just now completing the restortion. This has been a really fun project for me but I probably will never get my money out of it (not that it matters). I did buy it on the cheap with much of the heavy...

    Talk me out of a boat cover

    Boat cover is a must for me I have a partial sunbrella cover on my E-27. Easy on and off in minutes. Zippers up to the mast. I use dehumidifiers inside both boats. Always stays dry and mildew free. Just need to focus on the bright work once in a while. Boat covers were the best investment for...
