    E32 Mainsheet Refit, 4:1 or 5:1? or...

    My 1985 Ericson 32-3 has a 3:1 mainsheet which runs under the boom and down/back through the deck organizer to a winch on the starboard cabintop -- pretty standard I think. I'm interested in converting this into a 4:1 or 5:1. Thanks to @gfilipi, who directed me to Harken's mainsheet system...

    Factory Document Harken Mk I, Unit 1 &1.5 Furling System Installation Manual 2020-02-16

    Unsure if standard equipment, but a common upgrade for 80s and 90s Sailboats. Mk 1 was the original offering from Harken. The earliest versions used roll pins to fasten the foils to each foil connector. These early versions are difficult to service and frequently destroyed when removed. This...

    E38 Traveler Replacement - Harken

    Ending my hijack of Mr. Bugner's Sea Hood thread I've put in about 6 hours of work trying to remove the 20+ screws in the old Schaefer traveler. I have just one more screw left in the starboard side of the seahood before I can remove the track and channel. That one is a bugger because the RT...

    E-34 Harken roller furling foil

    Well it finally happened this weekend. As I lowered my jib it hung-up a few feet from the top and I noticed the twin groove aluminum foil had seperated and would not allow the jib to lower. This foil has been beat up over the years and it's now time to replace it. Got a couple questions for the...
