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:

Congrats!:egrin:
Just thought I'd bring about attention to this again - I haven't done a bunch with the group, but would still love it if people posted their pictures to the group.
I love seeing other people's ericsons and what they've done with them, so I've created a Flickr group (you can join for free), where you can post pictures of your ericson.
