Hello All,
I just bought my first sailboat, an 1975 Ericson 27, and I am happy to be the owner. I do,however, need to fix a few things on it. I need to replace the stays as they are original. I have been trying to find out if all specs are the same no matter what model E27 I have, besides the obvious difference between normal and tall rig. Since I am replacing the stays I need the exact measurements and I dont know the best way to get them. I am also going to buy a new furler. I am undecided on which brands are good for the price. I am a cruising kind of person not so much a racer so I am taking that into consideration as well. If anyone has any ideas on the above problems, or any ideas that a new sailor should know I would appreciate it. Thanks all.
