Selling my 1976 Ericson 23 swing keel w. dual-axle trailer, 8ft fiberglass dinghy, 8hp outboard and many additional parts and sails. Many of these parts and sails are not specifically for this boat but clearing out spares. Craigslist link...

How's this for finding a classic hiding in an old barn for 25 years... https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/boa/d/eastsound-30-ft-ericson-sailboat/6837423544.html A lot of work there, but one has to wonder why it was stored 25 years ago. If it was well kept for those first 27 years, it might be...

I'm reluctantly parting ways with my 1976 Ericson 27. She has much promise but I won't be able to put the appropriate amount of work in. I have several threads in this forum (old) on work I have done, including replacing steering cables and some of the thru-hull fittings. The Atomic-4 and the...

Hello all, I'm in the midst of replacing the sole on my '81 E28+. I had a few soft spots that weren't getting any harder, plus some water seepage from an unknown source appearing at the bast of the galley, so here we go: The floor came up in strips, chips, and fibers, much as has been...

Hi folks, I am in th process of installing my Espaar furnace in my E27. This has been a frustratingly long, on-going project. And there is a lot more to do, but as the project progresses I will post additional pictures. :egrin: Dave H Oops, I put the project under Community_Picture...

I have become 1/2 owner in a Ericson 33. I am looking for any type of documented blueprints of the boats structure, including but not limited to stringers, bulkheads, stiffeners, layup schedules, ect. I have the grand oppertunity to rebed or replace all of the hardware on the boat, the wooden...

http://www.plasticclassicforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=4431 Link to an extensive deck re-coring project on an early E-27. Made me tired just reading it! LB

Just to summarize a fun little project that I just finished on my E34: I tapped into the cold water feed going through the stb. lazarette. Note: there was a "T" that split the pump side into a hose to the water heater (which I had removed a while back) and one going to the head. The water...

Warbonnet is for sale... She has a storied past and a bright future if the right person looking for a project boat comes along. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1971/Ericson-Sloop-2085703/Scituate/MA/United-States I lack the skills and patience to redo her myself, and instead opted to...

Just realiized I probably put this in the wrong (for sale) post I'm trying to prepare my 1974 E25 CB for sale and I am waist deep in projects: I have the mast down to replace the standing rigging and I would like to fix a bend I put in it many years ago when I snapped a cap shroud in a blow...

I'm trying to prepare my 1974 E25 CB for sale and I am waist deep in projects: I have the mast down to replace the standing rigging and I would like to fix a bend I put in it many years ago when I snapped a cap shroud in a blow, its a minor bend (about 3" end to end unstayed) but it is too...

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...

Just came across a E29 with no reserve on Ebay, I thought I might be able to finally get some of my boats missing parts...no such luck, but figured I'd post it here in case someone was interested. Appears to have taken on quite a bit of water. Item #260385763340...

The bed is a little too short so I am adding 8 inches of length. As well a cabinet cavity which will give me the area to eventually install two 12" x 30" x 6" drawers. On the top I will have a 15" X 37" counter top. Also the 8" extension for the bed is removable giving some more storage...

This was done 2 seasons ago but with the wintery weather we have this weekend, it is a good time to catch up on my project descriptions. Here is a link to my projects website: http://www.tkronaboat.com/Projects/Ericson%2035%20Projects/Cabin%20Sole%20Replacement/index.html And a nice photo...

I finally finished the descriptions for all my interior refinish project photos from last winter. This is a great winter project because you can do most everything right up to applying the finish. But as everyone knows a sucessful job is 90% prep, right...

http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/boa/953696893.html They just keep posting em! For under 1000 dollars you can't go too horribly wrong. Lotta time and work to be had though.

:esad:I have a project E29 that is complete but needs to be restored. Anyone with a passion for these old classics would be overjoyed at this prospect. Our economy has devistated the industry in which I work and I have to say goodbye to this dream. She is sitting deep inland in Southwest Florida...

Hello VIkings A day of sanding with 80 to 100 then finally 220 grit.The wood is finally as smooth as it is going to get. I spoke with a buddy of mine ,who refinishes boats for a living, as to what to do with the various screw holes left from the PO. Simple answer: fix them!!5/16 bungs should...

Hello all vikings I thought I would share my cockpit side board refinishing project with the list. After not having an ongoing boat project for some time I decided to tackle the refinishing of cockpit boards project. #1 Remove the boards from the boat. I did not have the camera at the boat...

Hello All, Well, my E38 is on the hard and the keel bolt/keel rebedding project is underway. So far the 12 nuts and washers have been removed but the keel will not drop. The yard will try again on Thursday and I have asked that it sit over the weekend in the Travelift hoping gravity will do...

While walking through Jabins Yacht yard in Annapolis today, I came across "Un Viejo Amor," a 1984 Ericson 38. It's very run-down cosmetically but looks structurally sound. The yard manager told me that it belonged to a sailor who died several years ago and is being kept in storage by his...

Would anyone have a piece of old teak and holly sole leftover from a new sole project? I just need a piece to replace a bilge cover, and I'd like to get that weathered look, so it somewhat matchs the rest of my sole. I'm not sure of the exact measurments just yet, it's for a 1982 E-38, it's the...

This thing has been desperately needed as the 30 year old original had all but given up the ghost and was leaking at the joints. I finally got it finished and installed on our beater Ericson we're rehabbing before we got much rain. Here's a pic of the old factory part with the...

I am finally at the point of finishing the cabin sole in my basement and have a number of relatively large scraps of 3/4" teak and holly marine ply leftover from the job. I used 2 4X8 sheets for our E33 and the scraps now add up to most of one sheet. The biggest piece is about 1/3 of a full...

Boatworks bailout is doing over an e-34 full details will be in Boat Works spring of 2007 march 14th. The boats name is Castaway anyone know her?

Keywords: Water Heater; E34; Holding Tank; Wall; I am biting the bullet! After an oh-so-faint new odor from underneath the engine (the nasty kind) and some 'ponding' just behind the muffler I embarked on the project that many of the E34 crowd have discussed: the wall! My water heater...

We got the table almost done in time for the 4th. We didn't fill the screw holes yet, the varnishing is far from done, and one leg is about 1/8th too short, but it was done enough to take out. The pictures from the project are posted at...

We've posted some pictures from our galley project at http://homepage.mac.com/nancy_n_sven/PhotoAlbum12.html The cockpit/cabin folding table is next. -Sven

Hi first time sailboat owner! I would like to add an electric bilge to secure my peace of mind between outtings. However, when I look at the lookouts in the floor there's little room to slip a 3/4" hose along side the present manual 1 1/2" bilge hose. Then as I traced that line the route...

Check out the new project by our very own Capt. Ron: 'Ericson 38 Below-decks Autopilot Installation' Now located in the projects section. Thanks for the contribution! :egrin: //sse

I've just uploaded a new project to the Owner's Projects page - one from Chris Corcoran (submitted some time ago, I'm afraid) on the replacement of Lewmar Hatches. Great project - thanks for your contribution to EricsonYachts.org, Chris! :egrin: Also uploaded to the document server is...

Anyone have any experience replacing/rewiring their distribution panels? My Ericson29 has badly corroded panels and wiring in the port lazzarette. Going to have to replace the wiring and maybe the panel. Bought a couple books to help me through but more interested in hearing form real people...

I removed the holding tank and cleaned with bleach. I Eliminated the vented loop, Y valve direct discharge route all together. The head now runs direct to the tank and can be either pumped out through the deck fitting or through the manual whale pump. I replaced all of the hoses with sealand...

Hey from Texas, I am the new owner of a 1978 E 34T, "Endeavour" and have a list of projects to bring the boat back to pristine. I am interested in getting a bowsprit with anchor rollers (preferably stainless) and new opening ports for the four forward ports. Any suggestions? Also can any one...

I took out the cabin carpet of my E35-2 and found the fiberglass floor to be stained. Thinking about having a teak and holly floor to cover it. I'm not a carpenter, but can do some pretty basic woodworking. QUESTIONS: Is there an existing cabin sole template for E35-2's that I could use to...

Hi Sean, I have a couple of questions for you. Loved your project notes and pictures on the head replacement. I'm getting ready to do the same thing. I must have a 35-3. It was built in 1984 and has the specs of the 3. None of my paperwork states it though. Did your vent from the holding...

Well not only is this my first project boat, this is the first boat Ive owned. Now Im worried that Ive gotten in over my head. Now for my experience Ive helped friends of mine for a good 15 years helping them with general maint. on there boats ( both power and sail) and Ive done some building...

I am looking to replace an Ericson 37 that I lost a few years back. If you have a vessel in need of a refit and don't want the project, I may be interested.

After owning this boat for 21 years, it's time to apply some major TLC and this is such a wonderful place to learn from your experiences. I'd appreciate any comments and advise you all may offer. My boat is the 31st hull built in May of 1981. She has been sailed in the Great Lakes and the...
