After narrowing down my sailboat search for a more suitable sailboat for the Chesapeake Bay than my Southern Cross 31, I have purchased a 1988 Ericson 34-2. I have looked at many different sailboats that I thought was the ideal candidate but I kept coming back to a E 34-2 or E35-3 and decided to make an offer on a 88' 34-2, was accepted, surveyed and closed this past weekend. Unfortunately I need to have it on the hard until early spring until I sail her down to my homeport. Although she needs some things like replace the current older batteries, replace water pump impeller and so on (basic maintenance) but overall, very pleased with the sailboat with a 25XP engine with very low hours and cannot wait to start sailing her. This should give me time to sell my SC31 either this early winter or spring.
