Hi Everyone. Bit of nerding here - has anyone played with exporting tracks from iNavX, and playing with the data? I’ve been doing that lately to augment the info with things like time moving, stopped time, and max speed over ground. 2 really cool things I’ve found that make this easy is...

To the best of my knowledge, yes. They were the only ones to file a protest.

Update here - when all the info was reviewed, the protest against Wind Child was dropped. You can find details here: https://www.racingrulesofsailing.org/decisions/4025/event . Basically, given the conditions, it was decided they made the best decision for getting the injured crewman to...

And yet another order (please) The Admiral of the Green (and occassionally the Green Admiral) has told me to sign up for one, two if possible too. Please let us all know how to pay you, etc. Thanx for doing this. Richard Austin Dreamtime Ericson 35-III Sequim, WA

Hello All. Well, I'm getting closer to actually installing radar on my E-35 III. I'm leaning towards an arch davit on the back of Dreamtime, so that later on, it will also be easy to install solar panels up there, etc. I remember seeing a picture of an E-35 III on the site somewhere...

Starboard Cockpit locker Hi There. The prior owner of my 35-3 modified the starboard locker as follows: Put in a removable wall to under the cockpit floor Added a 1" lip to it about 1/2 way up put a similar lip on the hull put 2 plywood pieces between for shelves This makes for...

Spacing The space between the liner and the fiberglass is < 1/16", so I don't think I can inject anything in there. What I'm most concerned about is not using something that will dissolve whatever the liner is made of (plastic?) Thanx, Richard Austin Dreamtime 1984 Ericson Mk III

Hello, All. My Ericson 35 Mk III cooler has a hole in its side (about 2" round), that shows the fiberglass behind it. I would like to patch this so that water can't get back there. I'm not sure if the liner is made of. Any suggestions on a nice, easy way to seal it? Thanx for any...

John Wayne Marina - Sequim WA Hi There. We have our Ericson at John Wayne Marina in Sequim, WA. It is about 30 minutes from PT (towards PA) and a wonderful, clean marina. Good Luck, Richard Austin E35-3 "Dreamtime"

Starboard locker divider Hi Steve. We just bought an Ericson 35/3 in August. The previous owner did a very nice job of framing the starboard locker. It has 2 "levels" now, and it is all plywood. The cover to the engine area has engine insulation. I haven't noticed much noise or heat...

It is for the E35-3. Best Regards, Richard.

Nope... hulls are different Hi There. The hulls are different. Here is what I have in my spreadsheet of boats: E-34 LOA: 34.8 LWL: 29 Beam: 11.33 Disp: 13000 Ballast: 5200 E-35 LOA: 35.5 LWL: 28.92 Beam: 11.33 Disp: 13000 Ballast: 5800 So they are very similar, but are not the...

Hi All. We recently purchased and Ericson 35 MkIII, and want to upgrade the instruments. It has a Yacht Specialties Pedistal Guard (12.5" center-pipe distance) Any recommendations on an Instrumentation panel that will fit? The NavPod people say they don't have one. Thanx in Advance...
