Dear Martin My guess is the build year is 1979. Why don't you ask the last owner because I suspect he had the boat from new? Devon boats paid up in this or the...
Dear Martin, The boat I sailed in the 1979 Mini Transat race was E-210 Smiling Tree. She was built in spring 1979 so I would guess, like Angus that E-206 was...
I need some advice in regards to the size of outboard for the E-boat. What is the range that is appropriate for the boat. What would the minimum and maximum...
When you did the Transat with Smiling Tree, what kind of speed over ground were you getting. and what, if any modifications did you do to the boat. I ask...

It depends verz much on the type of sailing you do. The simple test is to borrrow a 4 ' 10 hp mptor ant watch the wake in verfy calm water. You can then...
Mike, Smiling Tree was not a standard e-boat by any means. The hull was specially built with a slightly shorter bow to squeeeze into the 6.5m overall rule. She...
Yes, varies on the sailing you do, and where you do it. I sail in the Solent and only use my engine if I have to, preferring to sail to/from my mooring and...
Attached is a picture of my 'normal' tapered keel, awaiting shotblast & epoxy coat. (Epoxy coating now completed, refitted and sailing regularly) When I first...
John You say the bottom washboard in the hatch was replaced with a fixed fibreglass panel - did you find this useful or a pain - I'm considering bolting in a...

I'm in need of more mast bend to get my main to set correctly - I've noticed my spreaders are at less of an angle than other E-Boats I've seen. What angles...

Has anybody out there any idea where I can get hold of an alloy mast foot plug for the ss spars mast fitted to my e boat E300-SilkE? I belive this is the...
The 3rd Irish E Boat National Championships, this year sponsored by Chubb Ireland, will take place between 14th - 16th July in Clontarf. This year we expect a...
Is anyone interested in discussing E-Boat sail materials? Judging by the replies I've had since my last post here, there is almost total apathy! It seems all...
Adam, Please forget about drastic changes to the sail materials. Concentrate on getting 2 or more boats on the starting line for a race!!!!!!! We are in the...
... Concentrate on ... PS - To date, I've contacted over 35 E-Boat owners, mainly by 'snail mail' but also email, with regard to E-Boat 'get togethers'...
... Concentrate on ... Then you're very lucky, as almost none of the boats here on the south coast of England conform with the class rules. The most common...
I guess that answers the question from the Irish perspective. It is admirable that there is a solid group keeping the class going in its purest form, keep up...

I was recently chatting to an E-Boat owner who was `excavating' the bulges of the forestay fitting on the bow of his E-Boat. He was concerned at the bulging,...
Hi All, I understand that the `standard trailer' for the E-Boat may be the RM 2 wheel breakback trailer. Anyone aware of any other (cheaper but as sound)...
I bougt a second hand car transport trailer(1000 euro) and builded a trolley myself(approx 400 euro material). Altough I didn't drive long distances(max 100...
