1976 Ericson 27 that I have under contract and want input on

[sallyjane823]

I am a prospective buyer of a 1976 Ericson 27 that has reportedly been maintained very well, at least in the last two years. Here is a link to the listing. It was suggested on this website that I post the listing to get commentary from other Ericson owners. http://www.yachtworld.com/core/rend...stokes&boatId=3035160&officeId=112305&isPLS=0

This seems to be the main listing url. Very clean boat with a lot of gear. Survey will tell the whole story, of course.
I personally like the idea of a small-enough-to-be-easily handled boat, but well-equipped.
If there is "enough" room inside for cruising, a boat this size will genreally fit into less expensive docks and smaller anchorages.

The E-27 is a roomy boat for its length and it also sails well. This is a combo that has pretty much disappeared from the current market. There are lots of happy owners of sister ships checking in here, and they will have comments and check lists for you to ponder.

Welcome to the site!

Looks nice and clean.


... and with a dodger like that, who needs a mainsail?

I love my E27 . . . that looks like a very nice one . . .

I owned a 1973 E27 for the past 7yrs and what a great boat it is! Fun sailing and easy to handle. Great boat! Looks like its in ready to go shape which is a plus.
