rendezvous

Dinner Saturday night....note the serious head gear!

Never forget the grill. Never.

Shawn Wurzner on the right...

Yep...

More ericsons...

Every where you look!

Looking down the dock at the arrivals for the annual NWER - 2011. Spot the Canadians!

Reverse view from the other end of the dock.

Ericsons, Ericsons - as far as the eye can see! That year the Rendezvous was held at Point Hudson Marina, Port Townsend - an old WWI era military installation.

Being from the Pacific Northwest, and having been to that rendezvous more that a few times, I miss the fun and the camaraderie that happens up there. I have tried a few times in the past to get one going here in the Bay Area but it seems to have met with little interest. Does anyone have...

We should start to campagne now for the Pacific North West Ericson rendezvous for 2011. As it goes from Canada to USA year by year and this is the year for USA the possibilities are Port Townsend, Edmonds, Pulsbo, Lund to name just a few all within a two or three days sail of Vancouver...

Ok, after seeing 10 plus Ericsons on the Bay and in the Oakland estuary this weekend, I think that it is time that we had a rendezvous late this summer or this fall. What would people like a anchor out, or a marina style rendezvous? When would people like it? Once we get some ideas...

I think most of us made the right decision not to Rendezvous. Did you and Nancy go Sven? My brother and I went out for a day sail Saturday. 7-8 foot swells with white caps starting up around 11:00 am. We got about 2.5 miles past the Angeles Gate and I could see my Brother was not feeling...

Is it time to start planning it ? I'll Keep updating this sticky post as we start getting organized. Maybe a repeat of last year's arrangements ? Jeff, what say you ? :egrin: ============================================= The principal dates for the 2010 Ericson fleet gathering: --...

Hello Chas & Judi, Eden Lynn & Hilda Harris: White Rock would welcome an Ericson Revenous if we had room :- ( Fortunately Blaine Harbour Marina is close by which should be able to accommodate such an event. Semiahmoo Marina is a stones throw away from Blaine........as in meters, which you might...

Did anyone get pictures from the Port Townsend get-together? It would be great to see them. The employment situation has improved, I am starting a new job with King county/ Metro as soon as my drug test stuff comes through! Yahoo! Benefits again! Better Wages! Paid vacation! (read as...

If driving to the rendezvous, note that the Hood Cannel Bridge should, hopefully, be reopened by then. It was closed for upgrading and repairs starting May 1. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/News/2009/05/29_SR104HCB+_update.htm The alternative drive around and up the west side of the Cannel is scenic...

Attention on Deck / Now Hear This : :) Since we are down to the final weeks before this year's Ericson/Olson Rendezvous, it seemed apropriate to just start a new thread on this subject. June 12- 14, 2009. Port Townsend, Washington, at their Pt Hudson Marina. :nerd: I have a confirming letter...

If we are planning an event for 2009, it is time to start thinking about the logistics of where and collecting dues to reserve slips. Most of the marina's are charging reservation fees that are not applied to the actual moorage fees. I would encourage the list to get active on talking about...

Could we use this thread to get a count of the number of boats/owners who will be attending the Pacific Northwest Ericson Rendezvous 2008? Other stuff that needs looking after: Where will it be? :confused: Victoria is the answer I keep getting but we appear to have no consolidated...

Anybody interested in doing another rendezvous this year like we did last year? We'd be up for another fun race to a destination (emphasis being on fun:egrin:). Maybe we could feature another model other than the 38's? We had a BLAST with this last year! Chris

For those hardy individuals that want to make the trip to Portland, Maine, this January19, 2008, MEOA is having its winter rendezvous at the Holiday Inn by the Bay. contact barrisdr@yahoo.com for more info. we usually have a celebrity designer present.

What would the possibility be that us Lake Erie sailors could have a Lake Erie get together in 2008?:thinker: During the Great Lakes "Hot Stove League (re winter)" yacht club bar meetings, this topic is always discussed by other owners. I believe there are enough owners and families that this...

Hello all you E boaters, hope you all had a good summer . We were just talking about the 07 rendezvous, and wondered if anyone has compiled a picture album from Port Townsend. It would be fun to visit again, even if it was vicariously. Finally got the hard dodger completed, but haven't had time...

Once again, I'm the jumping the gun here... It was good fun seeing everyone in Port Townsend, and the Canadians were represented by a beautiful E41... When ready, we have lots to discuss - where the next one will be - if smaller regional (read - north/south of the border) meets are held in...

Just signed up for the summer get together for the weekend of 7/13-7/15. Anyone else on the board going? Chris?

How about a Chesapeake Bay Ericson Rendezvous on June 30th at Shaw Bay on the Wye River? Some of us will be having an informal race to get there (see: http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=3737&page=3). Maybe you'll want to join in on the race. All are welcome to join us...

Ok, so at the mid-summer rendezvous there was some talk of a boat show rendezvous. What logistics are we thinking for this one ? We always go to the show on Friday. Is that along the lines of the what others do ? We like to go on Fridays since the turnout on the weekend gets oppressive with...

Could someone who attended the 2006 NW Rendezvous this year please post a summary of the festivities...who attended?...how many boats were there?...who won the prizes?...anyone take any pics? I'm bummed that we couldn't attend, but would like to live vicariously through the memories of those...

Ok - I know I'm probably jumping the gun some here - but I wanted to create a space for discussion of the 2007 NW Ericson Rendezvous. Whenever you guys have gotten past the sunburn and sobered up, feel free to discuss... :egrin: Right now the location is TBA. //sse

We would like to organize a weekend rendezvous of Ericson 41s at the Isthmus in Catalina sometime this summer. We are in the process of a major refit of our 1971 E41, Sunshine, which we have owned since 1974, and would like to exchange ideas and sailing experiences with other owners. Let us...

Is there any interest from the mid Atlantic Ericson group to rendezvous some time during the summer (2006)? I would be happy to organize the weekend. We would decide on a convenient location based on the number of responses and your home ports.

* This is a copy of a post I just placed in the 'NWER06 Discussion' thread - just in case it's missed by non-subscribers.... Hey - I just updated the announcement for the 06 Rendezvous - and included some images from last year as well as some other (mildly) entertaining stuff. Check it...

I finally got around to loading the image from last year's NW Ericson Rendezvous (below) to the rotation on the front of the site... //sse

Please use this thread for continued discussion of the 2006 NW Ericson Rendezvous. Info on the event follows. Also see the 'Announcement' on the event I will be posting to the top of this forum (until after June 16-18, 2006 - then it will disappear!). Please note that as of January 8th...

Alright everyone - We need to do this. Let's get together and set up a rendezvous! I've seen SO many Ericsons in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and on Long Island... where are you all? I've seen very few in Massachusetts, but we still exist. Let's do it this year! Any ideas for a location...

Hi All, Does anyone know where & when next years Pacific Northwest Ericson rendezvous will be? Steve Gabbott E35/3 Silent Dancer Vancouver BC

Hi All, At long last, a plan has been made for the 2nd Annual Annapolis Sailboat Show/Ericson Rendezvous. This year's gathering will take place on Saturday, October 8th, 2005 at Jimmy Cantler's Riverside Inn. Starting time will be 4:30PM. Cantler's is a great casual place where you can...

Hi All, Just a heads up that plans are being made for the 2nd Annual Annapolis Sailboat Show/Ericson Rendezvous. The date for the event will be Saturday, October 9th. Further information on meeting place and time will be posted shortly on this site. Mark your calenders! This is a...

I would be interested in planning a fall sail-in for Ericson sailors on the Chesapeake Bay, perhaps somewhere mid-Bay where as many as possible could make it. Are there any others who would be interested in such an event? Please respond with ideas as to dates, locations, activities, etc. I...

Remote Oil Filter Mount includes everything pictured plus a nifty cardboard box. The hoses leak at bit at the clamps. I've changed the oil on the Project with and without the remote. I prefer to put stray waste oil under the engine rather than under the galley sink. $25.00 The Boatenna (for...

Ok - these are the tee shirts for the 2005 NW Ericson Rendezvous; however they are generic (they don't say 'NW') - so they could be used for the other rendezvous I see you guys setting up across the country.... To see the shirts, Click Here! //sse ps: If you guys set up site-specific...

Are in the planning stages for two ports to visit on the West Coast of Michigan, St Joe and further north. If you can please indicate your available times for a June or July trip, and whether you'd prefer going during the week or over a weekend. (crowds) Thanks Rich McN Neegee E-23

Vote and choose a place to go - so some reservations can be locked down. The Pt. Hudson Marina is pretty nice - nice exit to the water - and right in town - very walkable. It's not a 'Poet's Cove' - it's totally urban - but there are lots of restaurants, sites, the fort, blah, blah, blah...

Are there any New England Vikings interested in a rendezvous? I know we don't have quite as many of the pretty girls on this coast as there are on the left coast, but still, I imagine there are a few of you out there that would like to meet up? Maybe Isle of Shoals? Boston Harbor Islands? Maybe...

:egrin: Hi All It is that time of year when I start thinking of next summers sailing, and most importantly, the next Gathering of the Vikings! I hope some of you saw the write up in Pacific Yachting December issue of the 2004 rendezvous. Last year while at Poets Cove we booked 30 slips for...

This Rendezous was listed on Sailnet Ericson-List. Though I would past the information along here. La Mer 2004 Notice of Rendezvous La Mer, the Lake Michigan Ericson Rendezvous will be held August 6th to August 8th, 2004 in St. Joseph Michigan. Weekend activities planned include a...
