Than Thanks! I've tried using general upholstery or other fabrics in other boats but, if they stay in the water year round and as muggy as southern Md is, the humidity and/or uv light makes short work of it if not specifically for marine environment and its a lot of work sewing this stuff!

I have a '76 E29 which has most (believe it or not!!) of what I believe is its original cabin upholstery - a medium to dark blue velour corduroy which I think was used in a lot of these boats and which I have come to like a great deal.(Old farts are often like this!) And in surprisingly good...

Thanks DebonAir! And sorry to take so long! I have been painfully removing 35 or so 1/4" ss screws, (some wringing) holding down each leaking jib track on my e29 and was too flagged to read email! The drive I have is a mk 1 drive and, I've learned, is supposedly not as hardy as the later mk2. I...

Hello DebonAir Still have the compass and dead head unit? I have a nearly new drive and was looking to put it together?

Baggy old mains??? Before you and buddy spend a lot of bucks, I'm with Loren - see if you can borrow a tight main and try it in 20K, In my std rig E29 when I got her with a really bagged out main, on the wind in 18-20K and 120% needed all the rudder to hold her and was way overpowered, now with...

Mid boom on E29??? Anyone tried mid boom sheeting on an E29 with the separated cockpit??

Hi folks - my E29 came with a mast head wind/speed direction socket at the masthead and cable running down the mast but no gauges or sensor. Pics of the socket are attached. There are 5 electrical contacts in the female screw on socket and 1 squarish bigger hole. I'd like to get the sensor and...

Great - send me an address and I'l send a check - do you have the cable or display as well?? My em is Ron342@comcast.net Ron

Standard Masthead unit Hi Dal - still have your masthead unit?? Thanks Ron

Anyone have any spare V berth or over the engine cushions??? Mine were missing when it bought me!!!

E29 Anchor roller Hello Paul - I have an E29 here in Md. and would also appreciate a pic of your anchor roller as I think it would be great to get the mud off the bow! Do you know anyone with any extra v berth cushions? Mine came missing those. Thanks Ron

Datamarine df Hi Kim - does the unit do anything at all?-ie does it indicate at all? Most of the problems on these were the sender puck and usually indicate a zero when bad. Ron

Hey Dave - I think I would disagree on the yard responsibility - a keel support block should never be put that far aft for just your reason - if it isn't put down perfectly level - ie - that block is a 1/4 inch high or the boat itself is a little out of line as it lowers - the narrow part of the...

E29 Thanks Rich - do you have a pic of the combination up on the boat? Thanks Ron - my em is Ron342@comcast.net

E29 Sale Jim - saw your sale ad from a while back - I have an E29 in Deale and an looking for some sails - wondered if you knew of any in the area?? Thanks Ron
