New member and E-41 owner.

Hi Everyone, I just bought an E41 and I'm looking forward to learning more about this model. That way I don't have to learn everything the "hard way." ;o)

Welcome to the site!
As you might guess, there are not too many owners here with that model, and that's mostly due to a lower number produced, back in the day.

Here is one recent thread started by an owner, and if you click on his name there is a way to send him a private message.

Replacing Chainplates on a Ericson 41

I have been looking at Ericson 41s for a over a year and getting close to pulling the trigger on one. One of my concerns is replacing the chainplates which are fiberglassed into the hull. Has anyone done that job before? I have searched YouTube and the internet but nothing for the Ericson 41...

Given that the construction of that boat is generally similar to the other Ericson's of the era, many construction/engineering details will be the same.

Opinion: While it's true that Bruce King seldom drew a bad boat, the E-41 remains one of his best classic designs. We visited aboard one at a rendezvous a decade ago, and were hugely impressed. This was a dark green hull, visiting the Rendezvous at Port Townsend, WA.

Hi, which one did you buy? Do you have images? Welcome to the forum!

We have three E41 archived items for download here, including Ralph Naranjo's Wind Shadow, which circumnavigated.

Hull number 22. Magic. The only big project I have though is a holding tank and system. She was originally built to flush straight overboard and Puget Sound is no discharge. The pics are from the survey and water demo.

I agree. I was impressed during during the survey, I was sold by the water demo! I have run across an owner on the Ericson owners group on facebook. His in the middle of a serious refit on his.

Looks to be the one. I spent a little time last night thinking "what if ..." and saw the listing. Also came across:
leeyoungbloodphoto.com "Dan's Ericson 41 Flyby". Some nice shots under sail. Such a pretty boat.

That is her. She needs some cosmetic work and a holding tank. But the survey came up with no safety or structural issues and she's setup up very close to what I would have done if I were starting from scratch.
