e34-2

Just starting to work through interior restoration items on my 1989 Ericson 34-2 refit. One area I’m trying to improve is the mast/compression post area where the mast meets the cabin sole. The original cover/trim piece appears to be missing and a previous owner installed a rough plywood cover...

This is a stark improvement to the Catalina 30 Galley. Can't wait to get cook'n!

We've got some woodworking to do... and some liner to replace... no biggie I hope...

First look of our E34-2. I think we can live on this!?!

For anyone interested, I met Darrell Nicholson, editor of Practical Sailor Magazine, last year when I sent the magazine a question related to one of their publications. Darrell and I corresponded, and I invited him to sail with me on NOMAD when he was visiting Chicago. He and his family took...
