...back to DI Race discussion ... back to the DI Race discussion. I got to meet two Ericson owners this weekend and they represented their ilk well. :egrin: Randy Rutledge of Rumkin took home a trophy and it was easy to spot them in the crowd proudly wearing their t-shirts with the giant...

At 17,600 lbs displacement, she is a bit heavier than her Ericson counterpart. She handled some very rough conditions on our Gulf crossing very well. Here she is anchored in Destin Harbor on our trip home last week.

After searching hard all over the Southeast for an Ericson 35 or38, my brother and I gave up on finding one in reasonable condition that fit our criteria. I sure like the design though. We found an Endeavour 38 in south Florida and she is here at home on Wolf Bay now and renamed Pandelirium. We...

E35-3 Nirvana Blues Interesting thought. We got to talk with the previous owner who had her for about 15 years before selling her to the current owner last year. We never thought to ask about the reason for the engine replacement. oops. But it was replaced relatively early in it's life in 1999...

Update The E35-3 Nirvana Blues in Charleston is in pretty-good shape. She is at the top of our list right now. We also looked at an E38 while there. However, it was clear she was used for nothing but racing...a nice set of sails, but she needed a whole lot of attention every where else...

Thanks again to all for your input. Closer inspection of the rig reveals it needs replacing, too. We have decided to continue looking for comparable boats. Since getting acquainted with the e35-3 I have become drawn to them. Found another on the market in Charleston that appears to be in better...

Congratulations Randy and a belated welcome to Mobile. Though it doesn't appear to be posted yet, this year's DI Race is scheduled for April 24 with the warm-up race the Saturday before on the 17th.

Yes. Interlude is white with red trim and has been on YW for a while. My brother remembers coming across her a couple of yeasrs ago when we first started talking about this nonsense! Thanks for the advice. I guess we all kind of do your "calculator" approach in our minds, but maybe not as...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I appreciate the information. We had the opportunity to take a look at her after a rainy day. The ports, windows and mast boot leak badly as the cushions on both sides of the main cabin and the v berth were soaked and the cabin sole is rotten around the mast...

Hello all e35-3 owners and other knowledgeable folks, I am new to this forum having found EY.o when researching info on E35-3s. I am in the market for a new boat and found a local e35-3 offered for sale that has a lot of design features that seem to fit what I am looking for. I will be going...

Hey. I'm new to this forum having found it the other day while researching a 35-3 that is for sale locally. So, I just came across this old post. I've done the DI race many times over the years. Like the above poster said, it can be a lot of fun whether the winds are favorable or not. Did you...
