Hi!
After trolling this board for a year or so, I made the move to Ericson land by purchasing a "new to me" 1986 E28. We sailed it down to Mission Bay from Oceanside on Wednesday. I had some trouble with the tabernacle rig. All the pieces weren't there. I finally got that squared away...
I'm an Olson 34 Owner (of Sapphire Star) in Singapore travelling to San Francisco for the first time ever in a couple of weeks and really would love the opportunity to have a sail in the harbour on Sunday June 5th. I know it's a long shot but it would truly be amazing and I'd naturally pitch up...
Just wanted to share a good experience I had/am having with some folks in the S.D. area. I recently, as of this week, purchased a 1984 E38 and Yachtfinders/Windseekers was the broker I worked with. Steve "Rock" Rogers was my broker and he was really great to work with. He has bent over backwards...

I can see no keel on this boat. (swing keel?) I think the first problem is Nine People on a 25' boat. :confused: I would never sail with that many onboard my 27'...
Hi,

Does anyone know of a reasonable Atomic 4 mechanic in the San Diego Bay area? I've gotten tired of working on this engine more than sailing the boat.
The last mechanic I contacted wants $90.00 per hour to change valve springs. Is that a reasonable rate?
Thanks,
Charles
Hi Folks,
I moved down here last month and my 38 is still up in Seattle. If anyone is interested in going out...I cover all responsibities reasonably well and having owned a 32 and 38, am familiar with the layout of the Ericson line up.
I am dying to go out sailing...Please Help...

Hey now, my name is Mark and I was wondering if there were any other e26 owners around the bay. I have a 1968 e26 and I would love to get some ideas/advice. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, new member here. A newbie in more ways than one. (You can view how much so in my thread at:

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...
This is my buddies boat- he's getting married so in addition to no longer racing motorcycle with me, he's selling his boat. Tragic.

We just spent a tiring but very good day with a surveyor down in San Diego.
The surveyor's name is Mike Herlihy's and his address is maxiboat at aol.com
Mike does both standing rigging and hull/systems surveys. His survey was both thorough and detailed but not focused at finding faults...
This Ericson 30+ is fully loaded. Race or Cruise. Loaded up with offshore equipment, including below-deck autopilot and windvane. This boat has been a great bay boat and competitive in PHRF and shorthanded racing. It has been optimized for singlehanded sailing and its a veteran of the 2004...
Went for a day sail today with my sister and nieces who are visiting this week. Lots of wind, was a very lively sail and we thoroughly enjoyed it (but I really need a dodger, the spray drenched us a couple of times).
We sailed down towards the oil platforms and as we approached, we sighted the...
Hi,
I'm considering buying a boat in San Diego on craisgslist that is being offered with a transfer of mooring at Shelter Island. I'm actually interested in the mooring rather than the boat? I was wondering if anybody had any experience with such a transaction, especially in San Diego Harbor...
I came across a low priced e38, 1981 on the san fran craigs list....she looks like she is stored down in san diego......ad is running in the bay area craigs list...i have no interest in the sale.....
Got a reverse 911 warning notice from the Carlsbad Police Dept. asking all residents in my area to evacuate due the impending wildfires. Packed up what I could in a short time (including my Amazon parrot ROJO). Took an hour to travel 13 miles to my E29 CAPRICIOUS moored in the Oceanside...
No personal or financial interest...

All,
I'll be in San Diego poking around at marinas this weekend (11/26-27). So, I guess while I am thinking about it, are there any decent boat yards in San Diego?
It looks like I may be trucking my boat down due to time constraints. As a result, I will need the services of a decent yard...
Fellow Southern Vikings,
I have taken a new job in San Diego with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). I'll be transfering down in mid-December and will be looking for a spot for my 35' Ericson (1972). Not sure when I'll get the boat down, but maybe in January 2007?
A couple questions...

We need to replace all of the standing rigging on our boat and while we're at it we're going to internalize the halyards and update the outhaul and mainsail reefing. Also planning to paint the mast and boom.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can recommend a good electrician in this area to properly rewire the diesel we are installing. Also, what should I expect for rates for this sort of work? Thanks!

Whoever owns the E-27 that we saw off San Pedro on Sunday really keeps a nice boat. We were sailing our E-30+ out and it took me a couple of minutes to realize that it was a fellow Ericson owner that we saw. It was a great day for sailing, unfortunately my daughter's friend got sea sick so we...

There use to be a website that gave you great information on various moorages in the San Juans and Gulf Islands, but I can't seem to locate it. I thought it was was www.nwboating.com, but that link is dead. Does anyone have a preferred link for researching various moorages in the Gulf Islands...
Regalus needs a new bottom and has decided to start a mystery leak. See my post about the leak in the Maint. and Mech section. So it is probably time to haul her. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have any of the San Diego based Ericson owners seen the E46 listed on ebay in the 'for sale and wanted'? How does she look?
The boat has caught my eye, as my E35 is going to be years in rebuild, and I will need a place to live when the navy call me back. However, it seems a bit suspicious...
