Hey everyone! I'm Chris. I picked up a beautiful 1969 41' recently refit yacht in FL back in August 22' for my wife, daughter and myself to explore the world.. a friend had bought it from some youtubers and didn't use it over the 1 year, plans changed, so he sold it to me. I did 1700nm of mind...

1983 Ericson 28+ "Ruckus" Hello all, It is a bittersweet moment, I will be parting with Ruckus as she is going up for sale. I am looking to move up into a larger boat. Most of my photo files were to large for this site but I have included links to ads that have more photos (of interior and...

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well! Ill cut right to the chase - not really loving my consumer lifestyle. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Looking to change a couple things up in my life and wanted to hear some stories of how others did it. Right now, I am thinking of sailing to Mexico and do some...

I am looking at purchasing an Ericson 36c. I am mostly interested in long distance cruising and Bluewater passages. I need a boat that can cruise the Caribbean, and possibly cross oceans, safely. I'm not looking for anything that is super fast, nor do I have much desire to race. It looks like a...

Hi everyone, I have just been offered a short term contract for the month of February from the 10th to the 28th and need somewhere to stay. My wife, 1 year old son, and 2 little dogs live on our boat year round in Toronto and I would prefer to rent a boat for the month than a hotel, or...

I am currently applying for an internship at tartan yachts for this summer and I need a place to stay. I have been wanting to seriously try the live aboard thing for a while now and I figured this summer would probably be a good time to start. Anyway, I was looking at a 1968 Ericson 30 in my...

I am moving out to Portland from the East Coast and am very seriously considering looking for a boat and living aboard. I know that some of you have--Loren, I'm pretty sure, has mentioned it--and I had a couple of questions. If you think you should mention something I haven't asked, please do...

I'm considering buying an Ericson 35 or 38 as a liveaboard, and I wondered if anyone who's owned or been in both boats for a few overnighters could help me. I know that bigger is always better if you're going to spend much of your time at the dock, but it seems to me that the 35 (Mark III--the...

Hello, I am new user without a boat :esad: We are currently researching our options and we find E39 very appealing. We still have cca 1-2 years before purchasing the boat (unless bargain pops up). I've asked at rec.boat.cruising about peoples experiences with E39 to get some impartial ;)...

We're not Ericson owners.....yet. Seriously considering a '72 35 for full live aboard. Questions: 1. Is any one living on a 35? If so what modifications/additions have you found most desireable. 2. I can't seem to find any specs other than the basics. How about rig measurements? Tankage...
