Thanks everyone I've decided to get a USSA number to make sure I don't cross any lines! Thanks for all the input! Don SV/Northstar E32-3 #731

Great Info! Thanks for the discussion between A-sails and Sym sails. I've never sailed with A-sails so am comfortable sailing with alternative weight Sym sails -- even short handed. I'm going to dig some more. Jim I'll be in LA just after labor day and I'll give you a ring. Hopefully you'll...

Thanks for the feedback! Thanks Seth, and everyone else. I really like the boat and it meets my goals very well. I promise, I'll keep the bottom clean and keep the junk out during races. I'll keep everyone updated about my progress toward the 2008 Pac Cup. Any and all advice is surely...

Hi all, I'm glad to be a member and Ericson owner! I have an e32 mkIII. I need to find out what is different between the mkIII and MkII models. Specifically, has the rudder been modified, are the sail dimensions the same? I am entered in the 2008 PAC CUP race and don't want to fight the...
