Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252385678849

Here is an Ericson 27 sans mast on EBay. It's near Clevland Oh. List at 1000 bucks. I just saw listing so I thought I would share it with you all.

Weird ad.
Misspelled Ericson name, I've never heard of a 'quad 4' engine, and it has a broken mast.
Wonder if the seller is the person that sailed it or owned it?
Perhaps it was tendered to pay off a bar tab!

I think I know right where these pictures were taken. It appears to be at Edgewater Marina in Cleveland. I drove past there this morning. I'm docked at the next marina east of there. I'll stop by one day this week and take a look - just out of curiosity.

Geeze, broken mast. That's some trick! I like the Monty Python "Run Away!"

The boat was just where I thought it was. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as most mastless $1,000 boats I've seen. Maybe it would make a good looper boat. Other than the mast deficiency, the rudder is in pretty nasty shape.

Now it's with Boat Angel

They're desperate now.

Apparently, they've found the mast. It's only missing a spreader.
