setup

Hi all, I'm eager to enjoy my first full summer of sailing my reconditioned E29-Tall this year, and have a rigging question. I have never reefed a main sail, and while I have looked at numerous sailing and rigging manuals--it appears that every set up is unique with regard to hardware and...

We recently purched a 1987 Ericson 35 Mk 3. She is a beautiful boat and well designed accept for the anchor setup.We have a very large and shallow anchor well with a knotch on the starboard side for the rode to exit the well, which seams a bit odd since the bow roller is in the proper location...

These photos show the city pressure water system setup on my 1973 E27. Noteworthy Components used: 50 psi pressure regulator. Only threaded fittings (no clamped hoses). Hose used has SS sheathing ("burst proof"). Manual valve between the dock box hydrant hose and the pressure regulator; this...

Does anyone have any photos or drawings of factory exhaust setups for the E27? I don't like the one in my boat and would like to see other owner's setups.

Hi, all, anyone wants to share their experience and knowledge in using a stern anchor? How do you stow the rode for it? How do you deploy it and, what is more interesting, how do you retrieve it without scratching the gelcoat? Two obvious ways to set up the rode: either put a pipe trough...
