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 today and she made it under the low bridge and into my slip at the MBYC.
My last boat was a Cape Dory 25. I loved that boat. The online owner's group was fantastic. It looks like Ericson's have a pretty good following too. It's amazing how well this Ericson has aged. There is virtually no crazing. The gel coat is in fantastic shape. She will sparkle with a little elbow grease. I have some tuning and maintenance to do, but nothing overwhelming.
I look forward to participating here.
