    E32-2 mast step plate

    I have a 1974 32-2. It was built without a compression pole. I guess when the deck got soft someone put in a pole to go from the mast step to the keel. It was right in the middle of the door that used to close between the V birth and the cabin. I took the cabin deck off to rebuild it and decided...

    E32-2: double lifelines in the cockpit

    To comply with ocean racing rules I need to add a set of lifelines around the cockpit of my E-32. I plan on putting removable netting panels around the pushpit, but anything in the areas of the combings will get in the way of my ability to work the sheet winches. Does anyone have a...

    E32-2 Traveler upgrade.

    I am looking for recommendations on updating the traveler on my 1970 e32-2. I bought the boat this April. The current traveler appears to be original equipment. I have sailed the boat about 15 times and trimming the main under load is quite a chore. The current method is to wrap the sheet...

    E32-2 Gooseneck Toggle

    One side of the bracket that holds the tack pin on my gooseneck toggle has broken. Does anyone know who made the toggle for a 1977 E32-2 and where I can get a replacement? Thanks, Charles Taylor

    E32-2 Steering re-build

    Well .. I just finished the re-build of my steering and thought I might put up a post for another poor sole who might have the same fate. It started with a wet cockpit sole. Not having good access to the area I pulled the cables and the quadrant to gain a better look. As we do .. while the...

    E32-2 Shroud Tension

    While the test sail on the (project) 32-2 I'm in contract on went pretty well, I have some concerns. Lower shroud tension .. At the dock and under sail the mast was in column. While the uppers stayed tensioned, the lowers had more slack than I expected even at 8 knots or so. The standing rigging...

    Steering Parts for a 1972 E32-2?

    My boat was originally built with a tiller instead of a wheel and I'm trying to convert to a wheel. I need parts. I already have a pedestal, a wheel, and a quadrant, but the pedestal is bare. I need bearings, steering shaft, chain, and cable. Anyone have parts or know where I can get them...

    Re-sealing E32-2 Portlights

    I hope you all will bear with me... There are many threads on this site on this subject, and I've been involved with them. Also, most of the info gleaned from those threads have been immensely helpful. If this info is way old news, my apologies, and disregard! I was describing the...

    E32-2 Stanchions

    Guys, I want to add a second lifeline to the original stanchions on an 1974 E32-2. The stanchions are single pieces, welded to the base. Removing and replacing (and rebedding) the stanchions is beyond our time/cost window for this repair. I'm considering adding a clamp on eye (see picture) to...

    E32-2 Pedestal Guard

    Would someone be so kind as to give me the measurements for the extra-wide pedestal guard that is mounted on the cockpit divider of the E32-2? I want to see about having one made. As I understand, they are impossible to find. Thanks, Charles

    Need Steering Parts for 1972 E32-2 (wheel & quadrant)

    Hi: Looking for a used genoa in reasonably good condition for a 1975 E32-2. Ideally, it would be about a 140% with a luff of about 36ft. I'm kind of new to the Ericson community as last season was my first with this boat and would appreciate any help or advice any of you guys might have...

    E-32-2 Spinnaker Specs/measurements

    Hello All-- After completing my first season with my "new" boat, I have had a great time and learned a lot. I'm now in the process of putting together a list of repairs/improvements to work on during the off season here in the SF Bay. I'm also going to take a trip up the Delta next June, so...

    Packing - E32-2 rudder post packing

    I have been following threads on this subject for a while, as the packing/connection at the top of my E-32-2 (1971) was leaking last season, and I want to stop the leak! The snow has finally cleared, and so I started to tackle the problem. Regarding the steering system and attachments to the...

    FS: E32-2 170% Genoa

    This is a dacron, 4 oz most likely, 170% genoa for an E-32 standard rig. The sail is older, but still VERY useable. Great for those light air days that there is just no breeze. Sail has hanks, all my sails are now #6 luff tape. Asking $350.00, e-mail me if interested.

    Powering an E32-2

    I've recently seen a mid-1980's Universal 21hp M25 engine for sale. I understand they were designed to replace the Atomic 4, and I was wondering if anyone has done so with a 1970's 32 ft or larger Ericson. Mainly I'd like to know if it has enough power compared to the A4. Thanks, Becky

    Dodger For E32-2

    I got a quote for a dodger for my E32 that was quite pricey! Several shops offer a more attractive price if they have patterns for a particular boat. Does anyone (maybe west coast??) know of a canvas shop that has patterns for the E 32? A similar question: Has anyone purchased an...

    mooring pendant - E32-2

    I will be mooring her in the Spring in a bay here in Long Island, the WM catalog and others sell 15' pendants and say to use a pair. Previously, I made the mooring pendants, and would like to do that again, I figured a 3/4" dia line and wonder if 15' is too long/short?

    E32-2 cockpit Sole

    I'm concerned about the cockpit sole, seems a little soft on the forward end. Does anyone know off-hand, if it's solid glass or sandwich balsa?

    E32-2 chainplate/bulkhead fix

    I have just purchased a 1971 E32 (Hull #199) and intend to offer a little TLC, and hopefully keep this boat afloat for many more years. I do have to reinforce/repair rotted (not totally) bulkhead/ chainplate areas, and have seen some of the discussion at this site and a couple of others. Any...
