Not mine, but I saw this on Cruisers Forum today. Thought I would pass it along.:egrin: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f64/3-almost-new-sails-from-my-ericson-28-a-129589.html

Here is an older thead. http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?11128-Bimini-dimensions-for-an-E-27&highlight=bimini

Thanks for the link. It was an interesting read. I think you may be right about this catamaran. While it did have a cabin, it was kneeling room only! so the reference to getting under the table seems spot on. :)

One Off Hobie Catamaran? A few months ago, I helped a friend deliver a catamaran from Oceanside to Long Beach. The owner said it was a one-off prototype built in the 60's by Hobie Alter. It is about 30', nothing like the beach cats. I told him he should try and get it authenticated. If it...

Just came across someone parting out an E-27 and a Catalina on Craigslist. No affiliation, just thought I would pass it on in case someone is looking for a stock piece. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/boa/4383883039.html

Somewhat of A Tangent Does anyone have a recommendation for Bifocal Sunglasses? I see there are fairly cheap ones with readers "applied" to the lense, while a little more expensive ones with the reader integral with the rest of the lense. Leaning toward the latter, since they are less...

Hell even after selling my Ericson, I still belong to both! Once a viking....:egrin:

Thanks for the play-by-play. Happy New Year.

Huh? A little more detail Geoff. Trying to figure out how you did that. I imagine the intrusion of water was just displaced by your bilge pump? A video would have been cool, but maybe you didn't want any documentation if things really went wrong! :egrin:

For the record, I paid $1400 to replace all of the standing rigging on my E-27, including turnbuckles, except for the backstay, which had previously been replaced for $400 6 months prior. Long Beach, CA

Engine Compartment is fine I had my Racor Filter installed in the engine compartment with my A4. Mine was located on the upper forward corner of the port bulkhead. I had the wheel steering, and I think there may be a little more room in that area as opposed to the tiller model. No longer...

Haul Out Time Anyway? Geoff, Isn't it time to haul out the boat for a bottom paint job? In the winter, Marina Shipyard usually runs a special with a free haul out when you have them paint the bottom. Give them a call and see when that is. They will let you change out the thru hull. Its...

In my best Al Pacino impression.... You talkin to me....you talkin to me? :confused: Not my boat and have no affiliation. Follow the link to the Cruisers Forum and contact the OP. Todd

Adorable Welcome to the twins club! My girls turned 10 in October. It is not as much work as everyone thinks, and no mom didn't do all the work! Except your 2 year old certainly adds some complexity! :egrin:

Btt A bump for a worthy cause!:egrin:
