Hello, It is still available. Please let me know if you’re interested. Mike

Great! The damage is contained to what’s on the photo. Sails are in good shape, here’s some additional photos. My uncle is the best contact to arrange a time to see the boat. Here is his contact info: Matt captsiegle@gmail.com +1 (484) 447-6226

Hello, yes still available if you are interested.

Friends, My lovely Ericson 23 broke off its mooring during a storm surge and ended up on some rough rocks. I was able to get it back on the trailer without issue but the hull sustained some damage. Scrapes in the fiberglass, but everything else remains in good condition. I am located in the...

Thanks, it’s a bummer. I’ve learned a lot from this group of ericson owners and figure someone out there would have interest in this boat.

Great point. I’ll check the larger mainsail again. The one I use currently has the E23, but if the larger one says 23 I will be confused!

I am the new owner of a 1975 E 23. It came with two mainsails. One featured in the original manual and another much larger one (with another larger boom). Does anyone know if the E-23 can be sailed with or even needs a larger mainsail? I can’t seem to find anything out there beside the standard...

North East River

I came into owning a beautiful E23 this year and while I loved sailing it for a season I think it’s too big of a commitment right now. Does anyone have a sense of market value in the northern Chesapeake Bay area? Most posts I see out there are at least a decade old. I’d appreciate your thoughts...

I don’t have a good photo yet. It’s similar to this, though the edges that go into the mast are only about 1 inch tall.

I am the new owner of a 1975 E23. I noticed the mast heel has a hinge and pin, but the mast does not connect to the heel. Any suggestions on how to safely step the mast? The boat came with a gin pole. I’ll probably replace it longer term, just hoping to get it on the water this season! Any...

Thanks. The boat is still on the trailer so we tugged on the mast from the port side and noticed some flexing. No access ports so we are going to cut it open and hopefully is not a major structural issue. Wondering if others have experienced this issue.

I'm a new owner of a 1975 E-23 that needs some work. I discovered an issue with the shroud below deck on the starboard side. The fiberglass has cracked, and I am not sure what structure behind the fiberglass the shroud is or should be connected to. We are going to open it up and take a look, but...
