I will be taking out my brother in law and his girlfriend tomorrow around noon. Probably just cruising around the islands in Long Beach.
But first I am going to have them haul me up the mast in the morning. Attempted to change the mast head light and masthead fly last friday on my maiden...
Aloha,
Working on restoring an E23,E27 & E32 here on Maui. :esad:
Yeah Im an E addict! Anyone visiting Dan at the Sailboat Junkyard in Long Beach, CA 310-795-8978 . He has a number of critical items needed for restoration, but has been most difficult to deal with remotely. Need local liason...
The Admiral has given me the "all clear" to solo. Had an awesome time on my second solo trip around the Long Beach Basin. Didn't have to worry about my crew freaking out! I thought there was a decent amount of traffic including some catamarans racing. I am pretty sure I entered their race...
Where can find a place to tie up the boat for lunch in Long Beach or Alamitos Bay and I take my friend and his Family out for Father's day? All we got round LA Harbor is the Chowder Barge.

Hi guys - another very nice day of sailing yesterday and hanging out cleaning up the boat today.
Having actual wind is nice, which got me thinking so when is the best sailing season out of the greater Long Beach area?
Just some positive reinforcement for staying in when the weather gets too bad.

Does anyone recall a post about a boat junkyard in Long Beach, CA? I've been searching for it with no luck. I may be in Long Beach tomorrow and thought I would check it out.
Any help with an address and phone number would be appreciated.
Hi folks - I have a 25+ that I'm not using because I've found the wind in the Dana Point area where I keep her to be, lousy. Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm still a newbie, and my light air skills are probably marginal. That said every time I sailed with friends out of the Long Beach...
Good day all,
I need to do a haul out for bottom paint. Does anyone have experience with Marina Shipyard in Los Alamitos Bay?
Thanks for the help:egrin:

I found this place while searching Craig's List in LA. The place has no sign in front and you would never know it's there. I checked it out on Saturday and it's kind of like a Pick A Part for Sailboats. I think they are getting a lot of scrap hardware from...

Hey SoCal Vikings

I am interested to see who is going on the best trip to Ensenada in the spinnaker classes.
Let me know who is planning to go and if you may have room for a 8 year Ensenada veteran...
i just saw a nice price on a e 35 in long beach, ca...look
on los angeles section of craigs list and search on for
sale items "ericson"...$8k obo, i think it was a 1979, needs
some minor engine work.....looks to be in decent shape...esp
for that kind of $$......its a bit far for me, here in...
That e35 (1978...i think) is on e bay again...(for, like, the 3rd time)..This time w/no reserve..It needs a lot of work, "un finished"...I am not sure of the background on this hull, as the owner never responded to my e mail questions...The bidding is now only @ $1,500 or so...I am guessing it...
We need to replace all of the standing rigging on our boat and while we're at it we're going to internalize the halyards and update the outhaul and mainsail reefing. Also planning to paint the mast and boom.
I had been talking to Jib Kelly at Kelly Marine, but they seem to be too busy right...
I put down a small deposit on an E-23 which has been languishing at its mooring in Newport Beach for over a year. When I initially inspected the boat she was rough but dry. She was pumped out shortly before my inspection. The bottom is filthy. The varnish is just going. The instruments were...
I'm posting this in the Southern California forum as well. We try to be DIYers as much as possible, but I think it's time to admit defeat and hire an electrician to redo the wiring for our diesel repowering. Does anyone know of a good electrician in the San Pedro/Wilmington/Long Beach area...
Regalus needs a new bottom and has decided to start a mystery leak. See my post about the leak in the Maint. and Mech section. So it is probably time to haul her. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can any of you So Cal Ericson owners recommend a preferred sail maker in the San Pedro / Long Beach area? Specifically looking for new Main and 135 Genoa for my 1973 E-27. I know of Dare Sails in San Pedro and North Sails in Long Beach. Yes money is a factor, but I do want new and I would...
