I don’t off hand, are you local?

I had a wood worker carve a brand new handrail for both sides but only replaced the leaking one on the starboard side so still have a brand new teak rail for port. It might be able to flipped for the other side but I think it’s tapered specifically for one side of the other. $50 pickup only...

I have a mainsail and 150 Genoa that are likely 10 years old but perfectly fine condition for cruising. I had replaced them before selling the boat and never got around to selling them. The Genoa is set up for roller furling (was on a harken furler) with a navy sunbrella cover. $250 a sail or...

Boy do I wish you posted this last year! She looks great

I’m having a new dodger made and am parting ways with he old frame if anyone wants to buy it. There’s no canvas but it’ll save you a few bucks if you have someone make you a cover. I live on Bainbridge Island.

Hey Geoff, I forgot to add if you don’t have a current atlas check out deepzoom.com which is free and shows the main currents. I’d still plan on picking one up though as there are a lot of odd currents in the islands that can’t be captured in the software.

Hey Geoff, Currents are your friend and I’ve made it from Pender Harbor (Gulf Islands) to Bainbridge in a day...a very long day though! Unless it’s going to be blowing like mad I always favor the straight shot across the Juan de Fuca. Here’s a tip if fireworks are your thing. Go to Pender...

Thanks Everyone, I’ll have to see if I can make the rendezvous. I had a great sail from Vancouver to Bainbridge Island last week but need to get to know the girl a bit more. I’ll post some pics of windlass mod soon!

After much haggling and to no avail... I took Christian’s advice and paid what she’s worth. It’s good to be a Viking again after a 2 year hiatus!

Not mine but cool old girl! https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/boa/d/seattle-ericson-37-cutter-thin-air/6839343216.html

If you have the cash the boat in Ladner is nice, I checked her out last week, the owner is a nice guy and while it isn’t posted it comes with free moorage for a while (I think it may be through dec but not sure!). I decided it was too small or would have taken it, now I’m going to check out...

I reached out to him and he’s non-negotiable on price. She looks nice but needs to come down a bit in my opinion!

Unfortunately not, I'm really looking for the two cabin layout so i can put my kids to bed and enjoy the cabin still!

Great Blog Thanks Bgary for the excellent write up. I have to say it almost makes me sick to think of doing it myself! One i'm not sure i have the time and two I can see my head exploding as i run around a foreign marina and town ripping the new to me boat to pieces! These are the two i'm...

Too bad Christian didn't sail her to Seattle from Hawaii! There are a couple options in LA and San Diego. Can i ask who you used to transport the boat and how the process went? [Edit] just saw your blog so let me do some reading before I ask you to retype the whole escapade!
