New (1977) Ericson in Newport

[mlaw]

Greetings, I just purchased a 1977 35-2, hull # 500 from the po in MDR. We are now in the Bayshore Marina on the main channel, and will have the boat renamed in the near future. If there are other Ericson owners in Newport (I have seen a couple in the harbor) we would welcome advice and/or hints at how to get our vessel in prime condition. This is our first boat, and we are novices. We do like our 'stuff' to be in 'bristol' condition.

This is a great blog, and is one of the major reasons we bought an Ericson!

Welcome!

While we're not in Newport, maybe you'll find our blog of interest. We purchased our 35 Mk II nearly two years ago and have worked at getting our boat in ship shape.

Anyhow, here's the link to our blog:

Thanks for your reply!

We too are looking to get our 35-2 ship-shape. It will be a project. I will keep an eye on your blog. You guys are making major progress. Thanks for the reply.
