Hello all, This my first post after becoming the proud new owner of my 1971 Ericson 32-2 Hull #188! Of course, as with any new (to me) boat, there are so many projects that I have planned and even more waiting to show themselves in the future; but as my objective is to get cruising around the...

I am the new proud owner of an Ericson 35-3 and I knew I would have this problem sooner or later. I was hoping it would be later. Oh well. I need a new Genoa. It looks like the one that come with the boat is a 150. The Sail Loft is recommending a 135. But, this is not my question. What...

Am in San Diego. Looking for Ericson 35-2 in low price range. Will consider all west coast, but closer is better! Thanks for considering, Leander

I have two opinions that leakage around one or more intake valve guides is causing the white smoke and filmy sheen coming out my exhaust and that I'll need a rebuild. While I'd like to go with Moyer, the shipping costs are hefty. There's a guy named Terry Brown in Huntington Beach who sells...

I'd like to start looking at the daily wind and weather from San Diego to maybe 100 miles offshore and up to Santa Barbara Island as we get ready for the Berserker Viking Bash the week of 5-5. Since we might head straight out just to make it a bit of an off-shore cruise before heading north to...

All, E31 hull #29 is for sale in San Pedro. She's not had much TLC lately so is probably a bit ragged around the edges. That said, the E31 is a sturdy design and a real looker. For more information, contact me back channel at glynjudson@roadrunner.com. My job is to put sellers and buyers...

Time to repaint the bottom of Penguin. Wondering what my fellow southern california brethren suggest as paint? Seems that products change every few years I open to all suggestion? John

Great afternoon of sailing Wednesday afternoon. We got a few miles outside of the lighthouse off San Pedro and just played in the 15+ knots of breeze and 8 ft. rollers. It was my first time really getting this boat out in the open water and seeing what she could do. What a blast and a pure...

Fellow Ericson lovers, I live in Southern California (santa Barbara) and I am in the middle of a purchase of a 1976 Ericson 29 :egrin: from Longbeach, CA, and I urgently need a surveyor who understands this kind of boat and vintage, who will know what to look for (eg, rotten balsa-core decks...

Is anyone going sailing between Xmas and New Years? I plan to leave San Diego on Wednesday morning and head north. Not sure where I will go.... Catalina?... Newport?... Dana Point?... Oceanside?.... Mission Bay? I will just see where the wind is blowing, but looking to return to SD on Friday...

Hello: How many Ericson 46's are there in Sothern California? I know their is myself with Lady DI III and now Kevlarpirate in San Pedro. I know of another E46 in Alimitos Bay, Athena, are their any others out there? Thanks, Rick Barrionuevo Lady DI III, 1973 E46 #18...
