I am sorry to say , I have to sell my boat, an Ericson - 27. It is in fair shape. Has a new Pro-furl furler and new 155 Genoa . I almost completely rewired the d.c. system last year, including the mast. It has a Garmin 492 chart plotter. It has an older yamaha 9.9 outboard that always runs good...

I have a 1973 Ericson 27. On the last outing of the year my main blew out . I cannot afford a new one right now so i am looking for good used main to replace the old one.

I have a 1973 e-27. with a leaking fixed port. I want to reseal the port but also need to replace the hard rubber square gasket between the inner glass and the inner aluminum frame. Does anyone know where i can get this gasket? Carroll
