Hello! I am stringing up my mast. Its the first time since i have owned this boat. I purchased it in the fall of '08 and following a small number of projects I am now ready to step the mast. Can anyone give me some info on running back stays for a marconi rigged sloop. The mast is rather tall...

Hello to Everyone, I'm a new member to this site. I've been reading the postings here for sometime, and I like the help this site offers Ericson owners. I am looking forward to moving up from my Catalina 27. It has served me well for four years, but I want to do the more challenging...

Hey all - Just popping in to say hey, I (and three of my friends) own Wino Country Safari, an Ericson 27 moored in Seattle's Lake Union. It's a fantastic boat and we love it. Got it for a song and are now starting to figure out the things we want to do to maintain/update it. I've sailed a...

It looks like this site will hit its 2500th members sometime today or at least by the weekend. Hurrah!! The more E owners the merrier. Maybe we should have a recruitment push with a flyer or business card that can be downloaded with site information that can be left on Ericsons afloat at...

Hi. I'm 53 years old and have lived aboard the vast majority of my adult life. I have raced at various levels on many different boats. I live on the east coast. I will be living on the boat in New England in the summer and down to Florida, or abouts, in the winter. Intended usage --...

Just wanted to introduce myself since I just bought a 30+. My wife and I live in Tracy, keep the boat in Alameda @ Marina Village. I have a lot more sailing and general boating experience than computer knowledge so I just want to thank those who helped me figure out how to use this site and...

I just purchase an Ericson 23 (1975)....The Red Witch.....I didn't know anything about the boats, except I like the appearance (RED & SLEEK). It is the centerboard model. It has a beautiful spinaker, new mainsail (fully batten), a 150 & 110. I have never seen a boat of this age to look this...

I'm new to posting. I have a 29 Ericson; sail out of West Harbor on Lake Erie. I come to sailing later in life. Have had the Ericson about 6 years. Used to own power boats, but now it is all about the journey. I believe I have been very fortunate to own an Ericson. Have cruised a little w/...

Hi, Congratulations on a very good owners site - one of the best I've seen. I'm a middle aged kiwi, based in HK, with a nice, elderly but in good condition, kauri H-28 in NZ in the care of my extended family (I was back for a while and thought I'd stay but got a good offer to come back to HK...

Hi all, I'm dropping a note to introduce myself as a new forum member, and, as of last Saturday, a new E38 owner too! First of all, thank you all for sharing your knowledge and insight here - this forum is definitely a strong selling point for Ericson ownership. I'm pretty new to sailing...

I am just about to close the deal on "Whisper", my E34T sloop. She is slipped at Harbor Island West marina. Between the surveyor and myself I already have a growing todo list and I will invariably be asking a lot of questions here as this is my first boat. Mostly, I just wanted to introduce...
