My wife and I just bought a beautifully cared for and totally equipped 1975 E-29 from my father in laws estate. It is my first sailboat but have been around powerboats all my life. All I can say is WOW ! What a boat to learn on. My wife and I have been sailing almost every weekend since November and I can not seem to get enough. Ihave really enjoyed the relatively uncrowded sea and dock conditions this time of year, good time to learn the ropes. Is it true wind conditions are better/stonger in winter/spring than the rest of the year.
This boat has a Universal diesel and I am changing the motor oil. It has a 2 foot tube out the bottom of the pan. Will gravity drain this as the bucket will be positioned above the pan itself. Also ,what is the best way to drain the ATF from the Hurst transmission? Thanks for any and all info.
