side

First the situation: My E35-2 has had the boom shortened almost 3 feet. Also the traveler has been relocated to the companionway (you need to be careful coming on deck when underway!) I have the replacement boom and am soon to install it. Now the dark side? the original traveler was located...

I recently acquired a 1970 E29. After having some engine work done, my next project is to make the top side area watertight. I'm looking for suggestions as to what kind of sealant to use under the stanchions and bow and stern rails anchor points. Glazing (bedding)compund? Silicon Caulk, 3m 5200...

The side stays in my 1977 E-27 have gotten noticeably looser over the winter, and I'm concerned about material failure "somewhere". The boat was over-wintered in Connecticut in the water, uncovered. There is rot in the bottom of the plywood bulkhead panel between the head and the salon, but the...

I have a 1980 e-35. when I bought the boat the top side looked in good shape and was shiney. Over the last two years a majority of the topside has gotten a powdery supstance on it. I have been told and I do not believe its oxidation. I have tried to buff it out, sand it, used some chemicals...

I have a '73 E 32 with original paint - faded off white or gray - has anyone repainted the topsides and if so what did you use.

Hey Vikings!! I have a moment here at my desk and thought I would pop in and say hello to all my old pals. My future wife and I are doing well living aboard our Catalina 42. the 2 cats are getting used to crossing the Santa Barbara channel. We are currently going out to Santa Cruz about once...

A4-aholics might be interested in this. no water out the exhaust + water intake thruhull is open + impeller is fine + thermostat seems ok + water in the bilge but I just pumped it dry and why is the alternator wet = corrosion hole in the water jacket side plate. replacable (by mechanic...

During my daily commute to work (I now drive almost an hour each way to get to/from work) odd little thoughts drop into my mind from... ...well, let's drop describing the majority of my thoughts, all right? Suffice it to say that I possess (or, perhaps, am possessed BY) a "Y" chromosome...

The E-38 I'm looking at, is a 1982. It has wood on the side of cockpit, where the winchs are. Was this an option from Ericson? It looks good! I haven't see it on other Ericson's of that era.

I'd like to take off my teak side board thats in the cockpit so I can repair a split in the wood and refinish it indoors (1976 32-2). Besides drilling out the plugs and removing the screws, what issues am I going to run into? Would I be better off to try and clamp it in place then to remove...

Has anyone solved the issue of standing water on the side decks of the early to mid 80's E 38 ? there are no scuppers cut through the toe rail at the low point, just forward of the lifeline gates. Up here in the damper areas,(Seattle), it leaves about 3/8 " of water standing with nowhere to go.I...

Who was sailing along side me at Hurricane Gulch rounding the light house in San Pedro Saturday in a E-29 yelling at me "Hey, your kicking butt!" I have to admit we were going pretty good in 18 knots with the full 140 out heeling at about 30 degrees! The guy said he was at D dock at Cabrillo...
