shoal

Greetings and Happy New Year, I'm interested in a 1980 E38, a gorgeous boat with all the right care, upgrades, and more. The boat has the 4'11" keel that was apparently standard in that generation. I've read the boat is "tender" in that it heels more than one with a full keel. I also understand...

Does anyone know if a E32-3 shoal keel (4'4" draft) is more tender and points less high than the deep keel model (6'2")? Thanks

Anyone have any pics of the underside of a e38 with the standard shoal draft?

Anybody have direct experience to evaluate the sailing benefits of the E26/25+ Std keel over the shoal? I had a 1984 E26 shoal which I felt sailed very well. I won't be racing, but I do like sailing to weather. I will be sailing mostly singlehanded in the Chesapeake. The draft difference is not...

So I was thinking, dangerous I know... If we end up moving to the Atlantic side of Florida (south) next year - my 6'6" draft of my 36RH is just not going to work. Does anyone know if a shoal draft keel exits that would bolt directly up? If not, could one be fabricated inexpensively...

I have seen specs. quoting the shoal draft on the 38-200 at 4'11" and 5'3". On my canal that could actually make a difference. Were there certain years that were 4'11" and others that were 5'3". All of the Pacific Seacraft specs I have seen quote 5'3" Thanks, Paul

Hate to lose it, but life has changed. My crew all grew up and moved out! This is a really sweet boat and is still turning heads. Hull refinished with Imron "Cardinal Red" in 2007. Mast, spreaders & boom refinished with Imron white in 2007. Bottom ground to gelcoat and repainted with...

I'm in the process of possibly purchasing a 1982 E-38. It was formerly listed as a deep draft, so I wasn't interested, as I need a shoal draft where I sail. The listing was recently updated as a shoal draft. Is there any way of confirming this while the boat is still in the water, by perhaps...

Green Card, an Ericson 27 from Seattle was first in class and first overall at the Toliva Shoal Race on Saturday February 18th. Great day for a race. Check it out at www.ssseries.org

My 1987 E34 with a 4'10 shoal draft has a PHRF of 132 in my area which is consistant throughout other areas. But as I understand it, the same boat with a 6' draft has the same PHRF. Does anyone know if the shoal draft for this boat (or other Ericsons) has been given an allowance...
