My wife and I own a 1974, 29 foot Ericson in Oceanside. We purchased it sign unseen (except for pictures on the internet). We took it out for the first time back in mid July. I am in the Army and I was on r & r, meeting my family in San Diego.
It's a "first" boat for us and a dream come true. I am moving into the reserves and we are moving back to the SD area late this next Summer.
The boat is in good condition, but we need a dinghy, and/or a life raft. I would also like to get a heavier prop. We want to have the cushion's re-done, and we need to have the plumbing checked out. (All of that along with updating the electronics)
It's going to be a step by step process. In light of that can anyone recommend a used parts dealer?
We look forward to many adventures. We have a 16 year old a 6 year old. We plan on taking her (the Woodwind) to Catalina and all up and down the Southern, California coast.
We would love to connect with other sailing families in the SD area.
Thanks and Take Care,
Brian Hevrin
