Where do you liveaboard? I sail my new Catalina 30 out of Hewitt's Cove in Hingham.

Warbonnet is for sale... She has a storied past and a bright future if the right person looking for a project boat comes along. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1971/Ericson-Sloop-2085703/Scituate/MA/United-States I lack the skills and patience to redo her myself, and instead opted to...

My '71 E-35 cost my parents more in 1985 than it did the original owner in 1971, and that's after two Atlantic crossings and a trek all over the Med and Carribean... To my understanding, Ericsons were expensive for their time. After all, John Kerry's parents owned an E-35, and they had a good...

Jason, I'd be happy to take some pictures for you. I should be headed sailing tomorrow afternoon, so I'll try and remember to bring the camera. If you're interested, this is our project list - Install Holding Tank w/ Y valve D.C. Refrigeration System Replace CNG stove Steam clean...

Hello All, We've commissioned the local boatyard to give us an estimate on a ton of work to be done over the winter... It's going to be awesome when it's all done. I'm on an E-35 II, and would like to know if anyone else who owns one has installed a microwave, and if so, where? I'm...

My first overnight trip was from Boston to Rockland, ME... Glad you had fun!

I'm curious where everyone keeps their boat... I'm at a mooring, but I just read an article on Wikipedia about Marina del Rey, and was surprised to see a lot of docks and very few (if any) moorings in a picture... So where do you keep your boat?

I sailed a Hobie that we rented from the Bitter End about eight years ago and loved it. It was my first real exposure to a small boat. I love how you're still getting out there even though your Ericson can't go in. If you're ever in Massachusetts, there's a fellow teenage captain with an E-35...

This isn't much help at all, but I'm almost positive there is one in Rockland Harbor, Maine...

John Kerry - his father used to own our boat, Warbonnet. Not just a sailor, an Ericson sailor!

Firefox has a built in spell checker on the newest version. I'm not getting any underlines on Firefox right now, and I have the previous version... I have a feeling that Firefox users are seeing Firefox's spell checker, but then again, I'm no expert. As a fnial tets, does thsi cahge anyting...

Drove to check on the boat in this storm this morning... Listened to it all the way to the boat and halfway home. :egrin:

Would you be willing to make a note about pricing? If you're looking for offers, the purchase price may be nice to base it on... Chris

Sorry to hear about your boat. Glad to hear about your insurance. All of us here would be ecstatic to see you sign over that Boat US check to someone selling an Ericson.... We don't like seeing the boats perish, but it's even worse to lose a comrade. However, I am interested in your...

Mike, Did you read Webb's book about his sail on the E-37? It didn't sound very seaworthy to me... It started falling apart!
