Hi! After trolling this board for a year or so, I made the move to Ericson land by purchasing a "new to me" 1986 E28. We sailed it down to Mission Bay from Oceanside on Wednesday. I had some trouble with the tabernacle rig. All the pieces weren't there. I finally got that squared away...

Just wanted to share a good experience I had/am having with some folks in the S.D. area. I recently, as of this week, purchased a 1984 E38 and Yachtfinders/Windseekers was the broker I worked with. Steve "Rock" Rogers was my broker and he was really great to work with. He has bent over backwards...

Does anyone know of a reasonable Atomic 4 mechanic in the San Diego Bay area? I've gotten tired of working on this engine more than sailing the boat. The last mechanic I contacted wants $90.00 per hour to change valve springs. Is that a reasonable rate? Thanks, Charles

Hi, new member here. A newbie in more ways than one. (You can view how much so in my thread at: Design & Function > Newbie Seeking Help/Info on Buying a 1976 E23 Wondering if there are gatherings or events (Ericson related) in the San Diego area... Thanks! Marshall

All, After a few years of working WAY WAY too much, I found my way back to ErisonYachts.org. WOW..... what a really nice site. The wealth and breadth of knowledge as well as members is amazing. I still have me ol' 1972 E- 35 MKII now located here in San Diego (South Bay). Sad to say, I work...

This is my buddies boat- he's getting married so in addition to no longer racing motorcycle with me, he's selling his boat. Tragic. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/boa/1019613091.html

We just spent a tiring but very good day with a surveyor down in San Diego. The surveyor's name is Mike Herlihy's and his address is maxiboat at aol.com Mike does both standing rigging and hull/systems surveys. His survey was both thorough and detailed but not focused at finding faults...

Hi, Rod in san diego, looking for an E29. I have a slip, and I am ready to buy. No motor is Ok. Tiller steering is a MUST. :egrin: Rod

Hi, I'm considering buying a boat in San Diego on craisgslist that is being offered with a transfer of mooring at Shelter Island. I'm actually interested in the mooring rather than the boat? I was wondering if anybody had any experience with such a transaction, especially in San Diego Harbor...

I came across a low priced e38, 1981 on the san fran craigs list....she looks like she is stored down in san diego......ad is running in the bay area craigs list...i have no interest in the sale.....

Got a reverse 911 warning notice from the Carlsbad Police Dept. asking all residents in my area to evacuate due the impending wildfires. Packed up what I could in a short time (including my Amazon parrot ROJO). Took an hour to travel 13 miles to my E29 CAPRICIOUS moored in the Oceanside...

All, I'll be in San Diego poking around at marinas this weekend (11/26-27). So, I guess while I am thinking about it, are there any decent boat yards in San Diego? It looks like I may be trucking my boat down due to time constraints. As a result, I will need the services of a decent yard...

Fellow Southern Vikings, I have taken a new job in San Diego with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). I'll be transfering down in mid-December and will be looking for a spot for my 35' Ericson (1972). Not sure when I'll get the boat down, but maybe in January 2007? A couple questions...

I am looking for a boatyard that provides good work and good customer service. I want my E28's bottom painted and an estimate on some other hull work. I called one yard and it took over a week to get an estimate. I called the yard that painted it last time, and they never even returned my...

Have any of the San Diego based Ericson owners seen the E46 listed on ebay in the 'for sale and wanted'? How does she look? The boat has caught my eye, as my E35 is going to be years in rebuild, and I will need a place to live when the navy call me back. However, it seems a bit suspicious...

Here is a real cool link to a web site that has a lot of good info about sailing inside San Diego Bay. Click on, surf around, and then tell me what you think of it. I would like others in different Southern California Harbors to post similar web sites for their respective bays and harbors, so...

I am curious as to the route people take when sailing from San Diego to Catalina. Direct seems a bit far for a lazy sailor like me. Up the coast to some convenient spot and then across seems a logical course, but I am interested in how those who have done it did it. Any lessons learned or...

There was an Ericson 32 for sale in San Diego which has been withdrawn from the market. I am interested to contact the owners with an offer. Any one happen to know who owns the boat? Thanks. Bud Thompson.
