New Home for Twisted Logic My 23' MkII c/b found a new home in Vero Beach, Florida. The new owner is Travis. He is fairly new to sailing, but has already found this web site and has talked to Bob Boe (master of all things E23), so he is well on his way to enjoying his Ericson. I'll check back...

I am very happy with the Petit Trinidad on my hull in SW Florida. The water temp is currently 87. Stuff does attach but it brushes right off.

23 Mark II in Florida If you want to drive across the state, my 23 mkII c/b is in the water, fully rigged and ready to be inspected and measured to your hearts content. I also have the rating sheets :) Venice, FL

In Florida, no motor = no required registration. ps: titles are not needed for small vessels in Florida.

I suspect that the two cheek blocks are for reefing, not for an outhaul. I think you are missing a small block with a becket attached to the clew and a small block attached to the small hole in the top of the aft boom casting. Your outhaul line would be secured to the becket, run aft to the...

Price Reduction $4,999 This is a really great boat for the price. Needs nothing and is ready to go.

Youth Sailing If I may add my 2 cents worth... If you are interested in the future of boating, get involved or support a youth boating program! The little Florida town I live in has a very active youth boating program and introduces dozens of kids to sailing every year. The kids start out in...

I can recommend the Tampa/St Pete area and points south. Tampa's Davis Island Sailing club is a wonderful setting at the south tip of Davis Island directly south of downtown Tampa. I have attended several regattas there. It is not a country club, it is for sailing. St Pete has a wonderful...

Hate to lose it, but life has changed. My crew all grew up and moved out! This is a really sweet boat and is still turning heads. Hull refinished with Imron "Cardinal Red" in 2007. Mast, spreaders & boom refinished with Imron white in 2007. Bottom ground to gelcoat and repainted with...

I replied via e-mail.

If you don't mind slumming it on a 23 footer, its at the dock and ready to go. We are in Venice. SouthWest Florida between Sarasota and Ft Myers. No bridges and about 5 minutes to the Gulf of Mexico.

Wow! I was going to respond that you can still sail in "hot", but now that I know what "acceptable" fishing weather is....

This January 9th image is sent with "warm" wishes to all of our Northern friends. People who are lucky enough to live on the Gulf coast of Florida are lucky enough!

My 23 MkII c/b has a tandem axle trailer. "Twisted Logic" appears to be "Red Witch's" long lost sister ship.

On my boat, (1975 MkII Hull #220) the mast drops to the bow. The mast foot actually sweeps up in the front to allow clearance when the mast is raised/lowered. I do have a bow pulpit fitting with roller to hold the lowered mast at the bow, a bracket that bolts in the mast step to set the center...
