Hello all, I'm posting a quick introduction as a new Ericson owner in the region. I purchased a 1992 E34-II in December 2016 that I anticipate mooring at Monroe Harbor in Chicago (awaiting confirmation from Chicago Harbors). This is my first boat, presently known as "Lega-Sea" which will be...

OK, I'm not sailing "IN" Chicago but I did get an invitation to sail the lake the weekend of May 21st while I'm in town for a family event. I have a 32-3 that I sail on the Chesapeake but I can imagine that the weather conditions and temps are a bit different in Chicago then they are in...

I came across this ad while trolling Craiglist. No affiliation to the author. Ad says this was a ten year old project to build a boat from the last hull and deck made. History sounds like it could be pretty interesting. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/boa/2016589108.html Mark

Anyone going, perhaps hoist a cold beverage together. http://www.strictlysailchicago.com/showinfo.aspx ml

I notice a lot of discussion in the Great lakes forum regarding the E27. WHat a great boat. I just did a ton of work on my E27 ragamuffin.(see Photos) Love the boat sails great and now looks great. If your ever down in Chicago drop me a line. I am in Monroe harbor. With about 5 other e27's and a...

My father and I are getting ready to buy a sailboat and I could certainly use some advice. My father used to sail until family pressure convinced him to sell the sailboat for a ski boat. He is getting ready to retire now, and I am wanting to begin cruising and doing some racing. I have very...

Basically they now let the boats advertise and have added a Cruising division (for the non-hard core racers). More about it: CHICAGO (January 30, 2007) Recognizing that the world of competitive sailing is constantly evolving, The Chicago Yacht Club Mackinac Committee is introducing important...

I'm planning to be there both days this weekend, leaving plenty early to catch the Bears on Sunday. Anyone else going? Any interest in trying to meet up?

Can anyone recommend a good sailmaker in the Chicago area? I have an E28+ and I'd like to have someone who knows what they're looking at take a look at the main over the winter to make sure it's ok. (It needs new tell tales and slugs for sure.) The boat will be stored up in Waukegan at...

Seth; I am a new member of this group. I look forward to seeing you at the Chicago boat show in February and pick your brain concerning Ericson boats, specificially the 36C. Where will you be hanging out? Roy

I will most likely be at the show over the weekend-if any E-members are up for an informal get together please let me know! S

For anyone interested, I will be at the show for Saturday and Sunday. I will be spending most of my time with my good friends at the Quantum Sails booth, and also at the Beneteau Yachts booth (specifically with Karma Yachts-the Chicago Beneteau dealer). I would love to visit with any Ericson...

The festivities begin Thursday, February 3, 2005 and will not end until the final bell sounds on Sunday, February 6, 2005. This four-day show features the newest and best the sailing industry has to offer. Don't miss the latest boat designs, the newest sailing gear, accessories and most up to...
