322

Looks like I may have found a boat for the Admiral and me. It's an 89 322 and appears to be in pretty good shape. Haven't had her surveyed yet. The seller will take $23k. Is this a good model? Are there any known isues we should look out for? We intend to cruise the ICW, bays and coast...

There is a 32-II for sale down the dock from me. Don't know the boat or owner other than looking at her (the boat) as I've walked by. Seems reasonably well found from the exterior. If I might help in finding a loving home .. I'd be happy to :egrin: Regards, Greg $15,000. Hull number 221...

My Ericson 32-2, 1972, #250; in S.F. Bay, Ca. I would love to link with fellow Ericson owners in this area. Thanks nmvrdgig@comcast.net :egrin:

Thinking about replacing my leaking portlights with Beckson Model 512's. Seems to be a cheap way of fixing a perpetual problem .....$110 each.Anyone used Beckson before? Please advise!:egrin:

If anyone has a pair of small fixed portlights for the 1970s Ericsons sitting around in decent shape (overall size 14"x6") please let me know. I just rebuilt the sliders and they still leak. The closest size I can currently find is the Lewmar size 1 which will require me to enlarge the holes...

I have recently purchased a Ericson 32-2 in November, and an item that I need cleared up is that the keel has a deep sump behind the ballast. This seems to be part of the design configuratiion. Is there access from the bilge to this area as I cannot see, because of where the cabin sole access...

Have any of you had sucess with a nasty looking stuffing box ? I'm afraid I'm going to be snapping the heads off and re-drilling. Is there anything special about this eybolt ? Regards, Greg

Nice photo--I like that split backstay: http://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/lectronicday.lasso?date=2008-06-16&dayid=129

Can anyone recommend a specific brand of portlights to replace the OEMs on 1970 era Ericsons? The two small sliders on my boat are toast--the frames are decaying, and both leak when collecting spray under sail. I'm planning to tackle this one in June when school lets out, and I'd like to get a...

Today I took the boat out of the slip for the first time in a while (to pumpout the tank ) and I broke the gear lever. This is a stainless steel rod, 1/2" diameter, about a foot long with a little knob on top. There are two beveled areas, one at the bottom, and the other halfway up. Any...

Peeww! Old hoses, and old recirculating tank, and an old leaky Groco HC head all require serious attention. The current configuration is a head to holding tank with a Y valve between the two for overboard discharge, but I need a pumpout station to empty the tank. So I was thinking of going to...

Ok... so I've been racing my S2 7.9 and the ericson has many sails just sitting in the basement- so it is time to reduce inventory a bit. The I=38, J=13, P=31.5, E=13 Here is what I've got and what I think they are worth- Hood Mainsail, Dacron, 1998 Sail. It is tripple stiched with UV...

Can any 32-2 owners offer advice on repacking the rudder stuffing box? Will I have to remove the quadrant?

Hello Ericson Sailors-- I just got my asymmetrical spinnaker, and plan on flying it this weekend. I want to add a pair of cars and blocks on the tracks that run along the toe rails on both sides of the boat. Anyone know the track widths? Also, how far back should I position the sheet blocks?

I just recently became an owner of a 1975 32-2. Does anyone know how I can tell if she is a tall rig versus a standard rig? Also, is there a source for this type of information? Thanks

Hello All-- I'm going to replace a corroded A-4 waterlift muffler. Right now, I've got an original "can style" above the waterline design. According to the Moyer Manual, if I want to buy an off the shelf muffler, I'll put a below the waterline system with an anti-siphon hose. My question...

This is a great boat that hasn't had a lot of messing with ...she was a family boat. I have complete records from the beginning, to include an original Palmer manual...which will go nicely with the low hour, fresh water run P60 identical replacement that I found for her. I'm only selling...

Hello Ericson Sailors-- We just surveyed a boat today, and it came back great--except that the surveyor's moisture meter sensed moisture underneath the mast step. There's also a crack in the headliner between the salon and the passageway going forward. Is this a deal breaker? There's no...

Tally II 1976 Ericson 32-2 A classic Bruce King sloop which was one of his most outstanding designs. Equally at home racing as she is cruising. Meticulously maintained, may very well be the best example of a 32-2 anywhere. She is a well thought out interior with best possible use of space...

Good morning to all. We have just received preliminary approval to race our little 1970 E-32 in the Marina del Rey - Puerto Vallarta race in February, 2007. For those not familiar with the topography of the west coast, this is a race of approximately 1175 NM. This gives us almost 14...

Hi all, I am about to have a dodger made for my 32-2. I would welcome any advice from anyone who has been through this before...how high?..how far into the cockpit....keeping it clear of the winches.... anything. Cheers Michael White Ilkara

Hello all, I and my friends are recent purchasers of a 1970 32-2. After 6 weeks of boat rehab (rebuilding the A-4, cleaning and fixin') we've gotten her out sailing. Last night we raced in the first of many tuesday night races and were generally pleased with her performance (Please...

The boats is showing it age ( 1973 I think) and little corrective maintenance had been done by prior owners. Some areas around the lower chainplates ( appx 1ft w x 3ft.L)and close to several stanchions are exhibiting some minor softness. In addition, some stanchions are just leaky.. I am...

OK, I just bought a 1973 32-2 with an Atomic 4 that was rebuilt in 2000. Also new sails then. I am new to Great Lakes sailing and have been spoiled by East Coast sailing with inlets every 15 to 20 miles. Not so on lake Superior. What kind of range can I expect to have with the Atomic 4...

Can anyone tell me the mast height (from step and from water line) of the mast on a 1972 Ericson 32-2. I just bought it and can't find anything telling me the mast height.
