Each morning at 6am I jog by a boat not far from my front door. I have been silently eyeballing it for four months now. It has no "Ericson" emblem just a name "Quartet" with "Vancouver" and a tiny "Marina Del Ray" under it. It's canvas is sun-bleached and tattered, the saltwater has aged the gelcoat and it's a 7 out of 10. It has many of the same windows, colors, curves and heavy rigging that I saw on a 32-2 that I inspected a few months ago, and the equipment and construction are very much the same. And I like this boat.
My failed attempts of walking by casually and praising Bruce King design to the owner (who never seems to be at the boat) have failed. No one is ever there. So I gave up and figured I'd snap a few photos and post them on here for clarity from the experts. At this point I'm thinking it certainly IS an Ericson 38. But can anyone tell me what year? If it is the one with the booth seating to starboard, I'm not a fan. But if it is the mid to late 80s model I might just send a paper airplane with my number on it sailing into the cockpit, asking the owner if he/she is interested in selling it to me. Can anyone enlighten me?
