Hey Matey, Where in the delta will you keep her. I live in the Sac area but keep my 32 mk III in sausalito. Good luck with your new boat! West

This boat has been listed for a long while. Something keeps it from selling. If it seems too god to be true...it is. West

This question is a takeoff from the rudder post/question. I didn’t want to change the subject so I started a new thread. Seth, when in 24-26 knots of wind I had the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> reef in and my 90% jib about 50% rolled up and was still fighting to keep from rounding up into the wind. Loads of...

hull Ok. That is worth considering. Capt Dan, where are you located? west

Am I correct in thinking we can keep more sail up in higher winds with a larger rudder? That we will gain greater control of the boat? I have an E 32 MK III 1985. Thanks West

Capt Dan, If I may ask, how much did it cost? Very breath taking. Will it last as long as the the old one? As hard a finish? I love the colors! West

The e 32 I have has the tank under the quater berth. It is out now and was not a problem. The bigest problem with the tank is it has a notch in the foward corner that has the wires to the float and valves comming out. It won't be just a normal tank shape. Does anyone else have this setup?

You folks are the best! Thanks that will get me going. :egrin:

Hi folks, I have a leaky fuel tank on my 1985 e 32 mk lll. 18 gal aluminum tank. Can we still get a replacement from the original manufacturer? Should I look at having someone custom make a new one? The boat yard in Sausalito is asking between $800-1150 for a new one. Way too much!! Any help...

Don't use Terry Tucker. Very bad!!!

Hi I am the one who bought the 32 mk 3 at Morotta Yacths. I think it was a good buy. I have been sailing her for 3 months now. Good luck in your hunt! Ron

Thanks Hi Folks, I just got back on the site and saw the new replies. I plan on taking classes, possibly the weekend program. I was told that the Berkley School is awesome. I forget the name?? I had looked it up on line and have it bookmarked. I am green but have sailed as a kid with our...

Sfo Thanks Gene and Stan. I have emailed Gene and I will check into your sugestion Stan. Sounds good.

I am a newer sailor with a Ericson 32 MK 3 in Sausalito. I’m looking for an experienced sailor to go out with me. I know the basics but want to take it to the next level. I have had her out a couple of times but realize I’m green. Anyone want to sail with me? I will crew on my boat. Thanks, West

great posts I inrend to take it easy at first. I also want to fix up my boat. The owner was really fixing her up to cruse byt health and family problems got in the way. He has many extras for the boat, a Monitor Windvain, tons of sails including a gennaker, a storm sail an extra main & head...
