    E-38 Article in Blue Water Sailing Magazine

    There is an article in the Sept edition of BWS magazine by Taryn & Stephen Toman of the E38 Synchronicity. I tried to find an on line link but couldn't. It is an interesting article of their maiden trip from Baltimore to Bermuda. Stephen is an experienced blue water cruiser but this voyage...

    Blue Tooth Audio from the Cockpit

    Thought I would share a great gadget.... I picked up a BlueBridge mini jack Rx. The device enables me to stream music from my blue tooth enabled phone to the stereo receiver on the boat. I was tired of running back and forth to turn up/down the music while in the cockpit (stereo is mounted...

    Matching Ericson Blue with Interlux Polyurethane

    Has anyone tried to match the Ericson blue in the gelcoat boot stripe with Interlux Perfection or Brightsides polyurethane paints? We're using the two-part Interlux paint, Perfection, and Flag Blue is too dark. Has anyone found that Mauritius is closer? Then there's the Dark Blue in the...

    Another Blue whale sighting out of San Pedro

    Went for a day sail today with my sister and nieces who are visiting this week. Lots of wind, was a very lively sail and we thoroughly enjoyed it (but I really need a dodger, the spray drenched us a couple of times). We sailed down towards the oil platforms and as we approached, we sighted the...

    The boat BLUE HAWAII (Ericson 30+)

    After coming in from sailing yesterday I saw a new boat across from me. It was an Ericson 30+, same as mine. They just moved to my marina and I was wondering if anybody knows who they are? Would like to meet them. Boat name Blue Hawaii Looks like 1984-1985 Ericson 30+ Port is Ventura...

    Selling the Blue Heeler

    It seems like just yesterday that we got The Blue Heeler.......Hey wait! It was just yesterday!!! My wife and I have moved up our 5 year plan to NOW. We are waiting for the house, the harley and The Blue Heeler to sell. We are most likely going to end up in a Freedom 36 as our long term...

    Ericson Blue Water Capabilities

    As I have narrowed down my search for a new boat to the Ericson 34, I have noticed in all my lurking about that the Ericsons are not listed in anyon'e list of "blue water production boats". They are invariably complemented as great sailors and cruisers, but never recommended for the long haul...

    Red White and Blue !

    This was taken by a friend several weeks ago at the opening day boat parade here in Portland. What with today being Independence Day and the display of colors being perfect for the day... :cool: Note the Ericson 33/RH to the right of our O-34. I hope that you are all enjoying the summer! :cheers:

    anyone going to see the Blue Angels?

    Anyone planning to be on the water tomorrow (Wed.) to see the Blue Angels? We're undecided if we are going by land or by sea, but if by sea, we'll probably be north of the bridge.

    Ericson 36C 'Blue Jeans' Mast Corrosion

    The mast from 'Blue Jeans' has corrosion on the bottom. I am considering cutting about 1/4" to 3/8" off to remove it completely. Is this a reasonable fix? What will that do to the mast rigging? Bob McKee 'Blue Jeans" Seattle, WA

    E 35-3 cradle (blue print)

    I am looking for a blue print with all details to build a cradle for an E 35-3 1984 with a 4'11'' draft keel. Any informations would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Blue Wing

    This is a picture of my E27 a couple of years before I bought her. She was berthed on Lake Union in Seattle. Seems she has an entourage' :egrin:

    E25 for BLUE WATER???

    ok, i'm brand spankin' new to these boats- was actually in the market for a tartan 27- but came across a great little, well-maintained, '78 ericson 25 (NOT the 25+)- the price is (more or less) right.. so my question is, is this boat capable of taking on heavy seas/blue water cruising...

    Back from the Blue!

    To my friends in the E-gang: I am just back from the Newport-Beach to Cabo San Lucas Race-another 800+ offshore miles, good times and experiences. It is always great to get back offshore, and now back to the grind here in Chicago. Let the games begin anew!! Regards to all! Seth

    E29 For Blue Water

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone has made any signifigant "blue water" passages with an E29, and/or made modifications to do so. I guess what I am really asking, is what is the overall consideration of this boat for crossing oceans, and what "beefing" up would be necessary to this particular boat...

    Painting the Blue stripe

    What is recommended when painting the stripe on the hull, I'm interested in a self leveling paint so when it's applied with a brush it looks good.:egrin:
