Purchasing an E35-2

I'm in Sydney Australia and considering purchasing a 1982 E35 I think a version 2. Can anyone give me some positives and negatives of the design. This particular one sailed from the US some years ago. I notice in one of the posts there is some mention of the rudder needing modification re. excess weather helm - any comments. Thanks

E35 Reviews

Greg -

There is a very good review on the E35-2 in the documentation section (as well an excellent one on the E35-3). Follow the links on the nav bar above to Specs & Documents, then Docs Index - and then down to the E35.

Thanks,

Hi,
I too am interested in any rudder modifications that may have been done to the E-35's. I tried to search as described above, but was unable to locate files. Could you please advise again. Thanks

Try this link there is a pretty extensive write up on the rudder mods he did to his E35-II. http://members.aol.com/socalsail/Page2.html

Hi,
Tom, thanks for the web page. It was nice to see what they have done to the boat. I really liked the rudder modifications. I think though, I will try to modify it myself. It will be comforting to know that if I really blow it I can have the work done as they did.
