Yeah, I second Loren - come up to Port Townsend - get your rig tuned and visit the NWE Rendezvous....

Isn't that about US$10,000? =)

Hi Erwin and All ---

Erwin and I talked about this some time ago - and I was explaining to him the ins-and-outs of boat brokerage contracts - and why/how they cost so much to owners (both coming...

Meeta and I will arrive there on Saturday - probably before noon (10-11am) and will be at The Swan Hotel again. We would love to have come up on Friday - but it would not be before 11 pm....because:...

The Ericson helmet logo is owned by a former member of the old Pacific Seacraft Corporation. That said, I think it's pretty much a dead issue, as Ericson Yachts, as a going concern, is pretty much...

Do you have a scanner or have access to a scanner? If not, then the only other way would be to take it to someone with a scanner and have them do it, or make a hard copy of it and send it over and I...

Thanks every one for another successful fund raising season - the bills have been paid, and we're set for another year! :egrin:

We wish everyone well, and wish you guys the best in this upcoming...

My advice to start first with the ASA (American Sailing Association)- and find an instructor/school near you that is rated by them. You should take some lessons if you've been on power boats all...

Greetings -

Last year started the Fund Raising with the announcement only - and did not make any other mention of it. A couple of you emailed me and told me that I should mention it here as well...

I'd vote for an E41 - and the last time I looked, that beautiful green hull (the couple that was at the NW Rendezvous two three years ago) were selling - up in Vancouver, BC..... Wish I had the...

Huh - interesting. Yeah, I'd vote for corrosion also - especially given the sudden nature of the leak - and consistency in draining.

Let us know what you find!

Warning: Sermon Ahead.... :soapbox:

My only comment on this is that while it's nice that you've found something that you feel is working - the only issue is that structurally, when the tank...

Silicone? For crack in the HOLDING TANK? Yuck...

Tear it out - if it were me, I would rip it ALL out during the winter and replace it. As mentioned, Ronco Plastics has the replacement (B192 for...

Thanks veyr much - I found them and two others in the Ship Canal/Lake Union area, and have forwarded them to the new owner.

Appreciate the info/ref!

Thanks,

Wow - what a fruit cake!

Hi everyone -

I have a friend who just purchased a sailboat that's on Lake Union - and she's looking for the best yard to take it to so she can do the bottom. Can I get some feedback on local...

And here's an example right here - came in as I was typing the other message:




So, in this case, the server sent out birthday greetings - as it does every day - and this one bounced as it's...

That title is tied to the 'Bounced Mail User' classification - which is the classification which the server changes users to when their mail bounces and comes back to the mail server (and me).

Congrats on getting her back under sail, Svein - please do post images when you can - and enjoy the season! :egrin:

Wow! I mean.....wow! :)

As someone who really wanted to replace his cushions - and balked at the price tag - I have to say that I am envious! Those are going to look great!

I just used galvanized shackle to galvanized chain - no swivel. I looked at it, and the small amount of metal the load would be transferred to made me nervous - and I have enough trouble sleeping as...

Uh.....ok - so some folks emailed me about this thread so here it is:

Loren is correct: Please try and stick to non-political topics, ok? We have people from all over the world on this site, and...

I received the following request from Practical Sailor Magazine - who are looking for E25 and E27 images of the boats under sail, etc. Any questions can be directed to the email address shown at the...

Greetings from Seattle!

I hope you guys had a good weekend up in Sydney - I'm sorry we could not make it; it was just too far and a bit much for us right now (I instead spent the weekend working...

Oh, and I was going to make a snarky comment on the No Fly List - but those guys have no sense of humor, and well, you know.... :nerd:

No - no - the issue is not with your account - the issue is that I have blogging set so all posts are moderated.

That simply means that I have to approve of each blog post (with the exception of...

I see - never mind then; it's what I get for trying to read posts on my phone's tiny screen! :nerd:

You're saying that JPL has blocked EY.o , or that JPL itself has been blocked?

Hi Svein -

Just a question - I've been noticing some code in your last couple of posts - specifically the tags "SPAN" - which align items in text - are you putting those in your sentences - or...

My opinion is that it should be in Canada this year - as it was in Pt. Townsend last year - and since we share the border, it's the right thing to do (besides, all those great Canadians made the trip...

Hey Svein -

We've not heard anything from you in some time - what's the status of the boat? Are you still in water - or are you pulled out for the winter?

//sse

I PM'ed a reply to you on this - do get get back to me on it, however... :D

Well, Fund Raising 2011-2012 is closed - the bills have been paid, the URL renewed and the software updated....

A big Thank You to all of you who participated - there is no way this site could...

Others can correct me, but as far as I know, once mold spores inhabit a boat, it becomes very difficult to get rid of them. In my bilge, where I had lots of it - I chose to deal with it by first...

Just call Ronco or send them a note. They have specs for all of the Ericson models - and can tell you which take it is, and what options you have.

If they offer to put the elbows in for you -...

Nice work - great looking hatch! Are you planning on covering that with some kind of canvas/Sunbrella cover when the boat's put away?

//sse

I'll make a note to rebuild all the thumbnail images during the break....

//sse

Take a look at the attached - like the previous poster mentioned - the date you cited makes it a 35-2.

What's the hull number?

//sse

Thanks everyone - I appreciate the compliments. It's been fun doing this, and it makes me happy to keep one foot in the sailing world....

//sse

Thanks for the complement. The doors were custom - a nice feature as they let in a ton of light and were easy to get through, etc. I also had a set of hatch boards made up for the boat - and these...

That's terrible! Do you know for sure that it's totaled? Did it flood?
