    CNG Tanks

    Hi folks. Have not been here for a while having sold my Ericson 38. Anyway I have just converted my new boat to propane from CNG and have 3 CNG tanks Im looking to find a home for. Im sure at least one is current with its certification as I got it on exchange this spring. The other two Im not...

    Upgraded Halyards

    Comments on Line: XLS Extra is okay but VPC is a lot better. XLS extra is a pain to splice because it has this bogus piece of tracer cloth inside. Oh yeah thats the part that makes it Extra as opposed to plain old XLS which I happen to like for most everything but halyards. VPC is a great...

    E38 Bow Light

    Go to Aqua signals website. They should have specs for the mounting. You most likely have the Series 25 Classic Bi color. But Steve makes a good point now would be the time to upgrade to series 40. http://www.aquasignal.info/aquasignal_us/files/content/series_25.pdf?id=183

    Mast Work on E38

    Okay my buddy made it to Bermuda and replied to my email about the leather for spreader boots. He bought it from a company in California called Siegel. https://www.siegelofca.com/default.asp But he does not recall what specific type he bought and these guys have tons of the stuff. Says...

    Mast Work on E38

    FWIW I only like to use wire on a boat to conduct electricity but I make an exception for shrouds.:egrin:

    Holy Batman......

    I love the questions! Especially the one about sailing it to Europe. I sold a boat on Ebay once. Its was a Columbia 28 that was in great shape for Bay sailing. Cant tell you how many morons I had to deal with who wanted to sail around the world and just needed me to allow a few months of storage...

    The time has come to part with our beloved Ericson

    Thanks Laura, probably keeping her at Chesapeake Harbor, beam is 13'8" so Hillsmere is out for sure. We'll keep our eye out for you though!

    The time has come to part with our beloved Ericson

    Closed on our new ride yesterday. She's gonna be a lot of work but I think will serve my family well. I plan to remain active on this board as I figure once a Viking always a Viking...

    Mast Work on E38

    I will do some digging and see what I can find on the spreader boots. A few years back I was running a rigging company in Annapolis with a gentleman named Brian Duff. He has since moved to the BVI and is a broker for BVI yacht sales but he was an extremely talented rigger and one of only a few i...

    Mast Work on E38

    Take a close look at the masthead sheaves too. If the boat ever had wire halyards the sheaves likely hvae suffered. There is a guy in Washington State named Ed Louchard. He runs a company called www.Zephyrwerks.com and can make new delrin sheaevs with bronze oilite bearings at a really...

    The time has come to part with our beloved Ericson

    The one that sold in BVI was Cali II. Her owner prepped her for blue water cruising but after sailing to BVI decided it was not for him. He sold in desperation and moved to Panama. My buddy was the broker on the sale. Its certainly a below aveage price but it is a comp none the less. Definatley...

    I looked at the listing for the one in Noank. Looked like a nice boat. For what its worth a friend of mine at BVI yacht sales in Tortola sold one of these boats last fall for 165. Good luck!

    The time has come to part with our beloved Ericson

    Well my budget would not permit an Outbound either. Very nice looking boats though. I especially liked the storage lockers. We are now the proud new owners of a Wauquiez 43 Amphitrite. She is in Rhode Island and I will be commuting there on weekends in May to prep for the delivery home to...

    The time has come to part with our beloved Ericson

    Tim the Stevens/Hylas 47 was at the top of our list for desireable cruising boats but we jsut could not get there on our budget. One caution with the newer Hylas boats is to avoid the Frers designed versions like the 49. The rudders are poorly designed and not supported fully. I have seen...
