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...

Well here goes. My much loved E 26 with deep fin keel (4'11") has to go. I have owned it since 2002 and have used it very little. I have yet to use it this season, as of july 20! My wife says sell! It had its bottom painted in May and is on a mooring ready to go. I will check to see if...

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. :esad:

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?

Any rough guesses on how long this will take? I was planning on leaving at dawn to take advantage of lower winds/seas? Want to start a betting pool on the actual travel time? LOL. She has a 9.9 outboard. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

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: Matt E35-3 Wind Chaser

I am looking for a used but decent condition long shaft 7.5 to 9.9hp outboard to re-power an E 25+. A 4 cycle would be ideal but a 2 cycle in good working condition is also a possibility. Phil

We own a 1974, 29 foot Ericson sloop. We are new to sailing and we are looking at Catalina as our first big trip. But I have big dreams, and ideas. Can you sail a 29 foot sloop to Hawaii? If so how do I start the preparation? Brian

If I install an outboard on my E27 ,is there one that would fit the picture and not come out of the water as others said might happen on chop. chuckA

Any suggestions on where to gat parts for Universal on Long Isalnd? Or diesel parts and service in general?

Sometimes, when I get inspired or my muse speaks to me (could be the rum though), I write articles. In the old days I would submit stuff like this to magazines to get money. Since they don't pay much if anything these days, EY.o can have them for free! Just beware that advice is worth about...

I'm looking for a used 150 furling genoa for an E32-200. Reported I and J dimensions for the boat are 42' and 13.8. Dimensions of the used sail I'm interested in (which is a long distance from here) are I 39'6" and J 21'4". What additional information do I need to get to figure out whether this...

Sailboat Junk Yard in Long Beach 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...

I'll be at the Long Beach Convention center from June 2 to June 5. Any Ericson owners in Long Beach needing crew for an evening sail let me know? G Kiba '73 E27, #406 Antioch, CA

Don't see a way to delete posts. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest in our boat. It now has a new owner. 1973 Ericson 35-2 No. 288 located in Long Beach, CA. * Wheel steering (also has tiller and tiller head assembly) * Navico autopilot * Atomic Four auxiliary * Pressure water system *...

The 9 feet is the longest oar what my local West Marine has. My A-4 is soon to be winterized but I plan to sail over the winter whenever weather permits.

If anyone here doesn't use there Bimini much, and would rather have cash in hand, let me know! My poor wife has had localized skin cancer, so I've got to keep her out of the sun (but in the fun;-) -Marcus

We are finally getting out ot the island!! We ( my new SAILING girlfriend) and I have been racing our butts off this summer and haven't had a decent weekend to get out there. The plan is to sail over to smugglers friday afternoon then figure out where we want to motor to. Frys might be a good...

My Atomic-4 is getting rebuilt. Can I put a long shaft o/b directly on the transom or I will have to put o/b mount?

I'm thinking of buying a Nissan extra long shaft (25") vs a long shaft(20") 6 hp outboard for my 23 M2. Is there anyone with an opinion one way or another? I figure deeper is better for those rough days, right?:confused:

I removed my water heater today, its a Safestor unit, 5 gallons I think, build date 2000. When I turned it over to drain it some REALLY nasty, rusty, black water dumped out. Lovely. Is this an issue? How long do marine water heaters last? This thing was a PITA to remove so if its nearing...

Project 1 in 288’s restoration. Any recommendations?

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...

. If you might be interested in crewing on a 39 foot sailboat from Oakland to San Pedro the first week of September, go to the "Looking for Offshore Passage Experience?" thread in the "Cruising and Racing" section.

Assuming the weather doesn't get really bad, we plan to head out somewhere on Friday and return back on Tuesday, taking one vacation day at each end of the 3-day weekend. We haven't yet decided where we're going, but it will probably either be the Isthmus or SBI, or both. Paul Spicer said...

Good morning to all. We have just received preliminary approval to race our little 1970 E-32 in the Marina del Rey - Puerto Vallarta race in February, 2007. For those not familiar with the topography of the west coast, this is a race of approximately 1175 NM. This gives us almost 14...

Our boats lexan windows are 'crazed' to the point you cannot see through them in bright light. I intend to take the windows out - they've been out to re-bed with fresh sealer before, so I know they will come out. Looking closely I think the outer aluminum is two pieces - a top and bottom half...

FYI their annual tent sale starts tomorrow AM, goes through sunday.

I would not have thought finding a suitable replacement for my E27's boom would be such a frustrating ordeal here in the Pacific Northwest. After researching this web site I called all of the manufacturers mentioned. Pacific Seacraft recommended LeFiel. LeFiel was surprised by this and said they...

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...

SURPRISE Deux, an Ericson 25 would not make sternway no matter what I tried. While looking though the manual I found out that the boat should be powered with an extra long shaft outboard. The previous owner had this sternway problem too, only his solution was to go with more power, a 15 hp...

As soon as I can round the buoy, I'd try this again. I recently, tried this sailing simulator, and almost became sea sick, you will too. If you want to challenge yourself a little over the winter, try the downloaded demo at http:www.virtualskipper2.com. The graphics are unreal!, the guys on the...

anyone out there did or is planning a long distance with an e 29..... as yes , what should i look for to replace or upgrade in the first place, ...... thanx tim
