She's Been Sold Yes, Moonstruck has been sold.

Fin Keel Aloha Kevin, She has a fin keel and draws 6.2; fairly ideal for the SF Bay area.

Price Reduced! There is increased urgency in finding a new home for Moonstruck. She was listed for $52,900. The price is being lowered to $48,000/OBO. If you're even remotely interested in a late-model E34, this is a solid choice.

Unfortunately, my prized MOONSTRUCK has to be sold. She’s located in Benicia in the San Francisco Bay Area. We acquired her in 2003 from her second owner. She’s a documented vessel. She’s always been well-maintained. New standing rigging in 2003, New UK Main 2005, New Foresail Quantum 2006...

Thanks! Gene, Clearly, your proposed solution provides all concerned with what's needed. I wish you and the PSC team the best of luck in the future and I will continue to sing the praises of PSC yachts (I even have a cfew friends who own PSC yachts). I suspect your decision will foster the...

Blast from the past... Hi Gene, you may remember me from the mid to late 80s when I helped you create/produce the then-current manuals, some brochures, etc. (MacIntosh stuff?); or, you and Don may recall me as an owner of an '86 E28, '87 E38 and now an '87 E34. All that said, I've been a...

Legal Issues... Sean, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to address this question; however, here goes. At some point, you sold the website to PSC. What did you sell; content, URL, name? What are the legal issues surrounding this sale? Are you able to reclaim the URL; the name? Do...

Count me in! I'm constantly looking for other Ericson owners; I think a national owners club would be great, if for no other reason to help locate owners in your local area and owners of your model Ericson across the country. I'm not sure about the NEOA acronym; maybe we can work on it a...

It's saved my boat more than a few times! I love the website; it's user friendly and contains - virtually - the sum total of collective wisom regarding Ericson yachts. I've been able to save time, effort and $$ on a host of projects by simply tapping this collective wisdom. There are great...

This is the only place! Let's face it, our boats haven't been made since the mid '90s (a very few in the '90s). Where else can you find out how to rebuild your head in a 1985 E35? How about redoing a teak and holly sole; fitting an adjustable backstay on an '87 E34? All this information...

Well said! Well said, all! Ericson yachts are unique; they are graceful, elegant and as fast as any crew can sail 'em. Our 1987 E34 is the fourth Ericson I've owned -- including a 1986 E-28 (new), 1986 E-38 (new), a 1984 E-33 (Holland design) and our current E-34. Whenever I consider buying...

As the gears grind... Doug, Great bit of detective work. I had my jib sheet winches apart for check and relube 18 months ago and I don't recall the location of the gears. I'll go down this weekend and check the orientation of the small gear in relation to where the jib sheet first meets...

Rebuilding on a Budget Welcome to EY.c I think you'll find this to be the best all around source for info about Ericsons. Sounds like you're looking for a few ideas on how to save money while refurbishing your late 60s 26. I'm not sure where you live, however, there are usually a number of...

You are correct sir... Seth, et al, Thanks for the additional comments. You're 100% right about the backstay adjuster. I just installed a Sailtec and Bud was kind enough to supply photos of his Sailtec installation of a year earlier; I'm not sure if Doug has an adjuster. On our boat, the...

Excellent! So nice to know that we've chosen wisely! Congratulations; sounds like you're really having fun. We've been racing our E34 intermitently for the past few years in the north end of the San Francisco bay. We replaced the main and last year and installed a new Harken Big Boat...
