sold Allrighty, the pushpit is no longer available...not exactly sold, but bartered. I am stoked the part is going to another E39 owner whose pushpit is not original and is not cool. Soon it will be original and cool. :egrin:

As soon as it is completed! Rhynie, I'll do that as soon as I finish putting it all together. I will be done with the LPG system today, then it will take a few days to get the solar panels on and wired up. Gary

In preparation for some cruising, I have replaced the pushpit on my E39 with an arch, and I'm thinking that some E39 owner out there with a bent or otherwise janky pushpit could really use the one I have, since it is in excellent condition. It could use some cleaning and polishing, but I...

Long Gone Hey Kevin, Thanks for asking, but I'm sorry to have to tell ya that the boom was taken quite a while ago. I can't recall what boat he was going to use it for, but it was not an E39. :esad: Good Luck to ya! Gary

Hullo Bill, I will give you a call to see if we can set up a time for you to come by and check out my E39, but here are some thoughts regarding your questions: Corrosion was a factor in my decision to replace the steel frame, but the driving factors were that I needed to access the water...

I have a sistership Ahoy L124C, I have a 1971 E39, on which I've done a lot of refit work, so I thought I would throw in my $0.02. Regarding the steel frame that lives between the water tanks under the sole; I cut mine out and built a semi-removable replacement out of G10. I plan to...

Yep Hi Rob M, I have indeed replaced the fuel tank on my own E39 during a complete engine room refit about 3 years ago. If yours is at all like mine, the only way to remove it, short of cutting it apart, is to remove the engine and all the other stuff around the tank first. Then it can be...

Hey Shaun, My boom replacement project was about $2200 alltogether, but I don't recall what the boom alone cost. The above dollar amount includes the boom (custom designed, set up, and finished), a Garhauer AL-420 rigid vang, and two custom stainless brackets for hooking the gooseneck and vang...

This spar came off my 1971 Ericson 39. I have completely redone my running rig, and replaced my original boom with a new Ballenger. :egrin: I will be leaving on a cruise soon, and would like to offer this refurbishable boom for free to a fellow Ericson owner who might put it to good use...

Sorry I missed it folks....an unexpected family emergency came up on Friday that precluded my attendance :boohoo: Looks like ya'll had some good clean fun! I finally got out sailing on Sunday afternoon and saw quite a few Ericsons looking good on the bay. Please clue me in on the...

I will be there with bells on, so to speak. :D BTW: anyone participating in the Bay View Boat Club's vernerable Plastic Classic Regatta this weekend? It's a boatload of fun. :egrin:

Rendezvous AHOY Hullo fellow vikings! :egrin: I have not been checking in much over the winter due to my usual spate of boat project-mongering, but Greg / Pacifica did me the kindness of sending me an email about the conversation going on here about having a second Norcal Ericson...

Yes indeed a great time was had, and it was a pleasure meeting up with you all! Great pictures Greg! We had a terrific sail on Sunday afternoon....we were trying to follow Maverick, but got scraped off by the Bay Bridge when a container ship plowed through. Afterwords when we thought we...

:egrin: For anyone who is going to be there, I look forward to meeting you! :esad: For those who cannot, perhaps we can try again next year, and I hope to see you around the bay!

Traveler will be there! It is on! I will be emailing you the flyer/handout we spoke about sometime later today.
