A solid classic boat. Currently being sailed and raced in Buzzards bay. Comes with a fully battened main, spinnaker, and 3 front sails (95 with batons, 110 furler and Kevlar 150). spinnaker pole, Lazy jacks on main. roller furler on jib. Sleeps 6. 18HP Universal Diesel engine. Alcohol stove and ice box in galley. Comes with all lines and fenders needed to sail, 5' 11" delta keel for pointing high into the wind. I've spent many nights and weekends sleeping on the boat in the last 3 years. Only selling to upgrade to a larger boat.

Recent upgrades. Completely new head system with all new premium hoses, holding tank, and "comfort" toilet. Batteries are under 2 years old. New parallel battery selector switch, battery cables, Garmin GPS power cable run to pedestal guard, new marine stereo, new LED bathroom light with nightlight mode. In spring of 2021, hull was wet sanded, and machined buffed with compound and then wax. New Ericson Viking decals. All new engine gauges in 2020, new mast wire connectors at step.

Could use some cosmetic work, but fully ready to sail. Enjoy the rest of the season!

Wow, way to low on the $$ IMHO, you could get twice that easy. Of course I'm biased and trying to protect my own "investment". Do you have more pics you can share ?

Unless there are other significant problems with your boat I agree with Dave that the price is very low. Maybe you're just being very kind to a future A Ericson owner.

lol. of course you guys would feel that way, being fellow Ericson fans. I'm in that typically bought my new boat before selling my old boat situation. Plus, I need to get some more current photos of the cabin. I removed some of the vinyl ceiling and wall on the starboard side to track down some rain leaks. Which worked, the bilge has been completely dry ever since, but something needs to be put back. I just painted some epoxy bilge paint for the moment. As soon as I can get to the boat and take some more photos of the lesser appealing parts, I'll be sure to post them

Congratulations! Although it sounds like she will need some cosmetic work, these E30+ boats sail really well, both in light air and stronger breeze. It seems to me you got an exceptionally good deal!
Don't hesitate to ask for advice from members on this site - - there is lots of knowledge and experience, and people are generally very helpful.

Jacody, Discovery is a 1983 E030+, a sister ship to your new project and she is located in Portsmouth, R.I. If your interested, I'd like to make a visit to talk and share stories.

As for sailing in strong breezes, I can personally attest to the E-30+'s capability, having sailed Discovery during the early May No-Easter off Long Island this year.
