Ericson 27's in Buffalo, 3 of you...

[eMKay]

At the same dock in the Small Boat Harbor, it's a boat I'm interested in looking at, seeing if I like it. PM me, reply here, or just come on down to J712 if you see me at my boat (grey and red O'day 192 2nd from the end of J dock).

I was going out for a sail this evening and saw one docked, then when we came back and walked down to have a look I see 3 of them! :egrin:

There's going to be one more, but up at EBM by end of week.............mine! Just have to move it from Erie this wk!:egrin:

Well then invite me out for a sail and I'll bring some beer, or whatever you want to drink. The Ericson 27 is the leading candidate to be my 3rd (or 5th if you count my other 2 dinghys) boat, I would love to see how she sails the lake. My O'day does fine but is too small to entertain on.

Hey, did you buy the one at RCR in Erie? I was seriously eyeballing that boat, and now it's listed as sold...you bastard.

j/k :egrin:

You snooze you lose! There is lots of 27's out there, you will find the right one!

That one was too rich for my budget anyway, at least right now. It's either buy a fixer-upper for half that one (listed at $12,500 IIRC) or buy a nice one and not have to do so much work, if I do that latter I'm going to wait until we pay off something first, like our garage.

So, is that a yes? And did you make it back from Erie ok? :egrin: I just love that viking smilie, if I get an Ericsom I'm putting it on the main, or on a burgee, hell I think I'll put it on my O'day :egrin:

If you ever get up to Chicago drop me an email. I will take you out on mine. I just did a lot of renovation work and might consider selling it next season. Take a look.

Beautiful.

Ragamuffin, very nice! Where did you get the Jolly Roger? and, what yr is the boat?

[TRMN8R]

Ok, I see it now (1974).......like the renovation images. Especially like locating the traveler across the companionway. I have a wheel so the traveler is on the molded rise where the pedestal sits. I plan to relocate it (if I have room)...........I have 8 lines running aft through clutches, 4 port, 4 starboard...........so not much room left on the deck house! Question: what product did you use on the teak work? Thx!

[ragamuffin]

I used Epifanes gloss clear varnish on teak Epifanes yacht enamel on mast and interlux brightside on top side.

[TRMN8R]

How about the 'jolly roger' with the Ericson? Have it made?
