I've been a LONG time admirer of Ericson boats, and am seriously thinking of FINALLY getting myself one.
Probably a 27'. We'll likely use it 95% of the time for day sailing, but would also like to take several overnight trips each season.
I'll probably keep her in Waukegan IL.
One trip I've dreamt of making is up to Door County (Ellison Bay) WI and back.
Seems like there are enough marina's along the way to seek harbor should weather change for the worse, etc.
Another trip I'd love to make is accross the Lake to Michigan. Mostly just to say I did it!
Can anyone here speak to an Ericson 27's seaworthyness on Lake Michigan? I know this great lake can dish out surprises that make my jaw drop sometimes, and imagining myself coming back to port with breaking 6' waves behind me would surely be a divine moment of sorts.
Thanks all.
