    8 kts close hauled in 100 yd visibility !

    What a great weekend on Senta II ! We headed out towards Catalina Island on Friday morning, in 1/4 mi. visibility and no wind. A bit later the wind picked up a bit and after passing a fishing boat in the fog, seeing a whale which startled us with its exhale, and getting passed by a...

    Heat Exchangers - Up Close & Exposed

    I posted this elsewhere but thought you guys might like it too with all the Universal engines in Ericson's... When we bought our boat two years ago one of the things on my list was to remove and clean the heat exchanger (HX from here on). Now that my bell housing is cracked I had a good...

    Close call

    We prepped the boat on Friday for high winds and then it started looking worse(hurricane) on Saturday. I have been quite stressed for the last 24 hours. Of course now it looks like Kyle will head NE away from us.

    Ericson Shown on Local News, too close to Cruise Ships.

    Did any one see the "Breaking News" flash on CBS Channel 2 local news last night around 6 pm? They interrupted the broadcast to show what looked like a Ericson 27 that had got too close to the Cruise Ships in the Main Channel in San Pedro. They had both the Port Police and Coast Guard chasing...

    Why close your request thread?

    Joseph, I am curious as to why you posted your request for used instruments and then closed the thread-in 2 locations?? Beyond that, I have a funny story about Lake Superior-since you mentioned how much fresh water-ice-was to be found there: As most of you know, when you lose a person...

    Close Call

    Anybody else read about Maverick (an E39) in Latitude 38 this month? She developed a rather large tear right through the hull on an Atlantic crossing and barely made it back to land. The photos show a large crack in front of the keel cavity extending up both sides 12-18 inches. Very scary...
