First off, I am very happy to have found such an informative site.
I am in the market for a family sailboat, and very impressed with what I have read about Ericson yachts. They appear well made and are certainly pretty to look at (important).
We are a novice sailing family of six, with four children ranging in age from 5 to 13. I am the only one with any sailing experience.
The size of our family necessitates a larger craft. I would appreciate any opinions on the 30+ or 32. I do not want to consider anything larger - I am nervous enough taking on a 30 footer (all my experience is with daysailers).
Again I would appreciate advice and opinions (suitability, sailing characteristics, etc.) from anyone experienced with these boats. Thank you.
