    PNW Rendezvous Summer 2024

    Hey everyone, @southofvictor we do still check in every now and then. Glad to see the rendezvous is back in Canada this year. If it ends up in maple bay we may crash ut as former ericson owners as it’s pretty close for us by water or land. I know the marina manager and he is lovely at maple bay...

    Help on boat curtains, please

    Ah you caught me. I’m a former Ericson owner. We had a sister ship to Frank. This is inside our Nordic 40. The headliner set up is amazing. So easy to remove and access. I can definitely take more pics as an example for you, but alas it isn’t an Ericson

    Hi Frank, we used to have the pull down accordion style blinds on our Ericson that worked well. No clashing. On our new boat we have snap on flat window covers that are brilliant and very easy to make and use. Plus they look great! I will get down to the boat and take a pic and post. Btw we...

    Waxing the hull while in the water

    I haven’t done this, but someone recently shared to tie your buffer to a halyard and it takes away the weight of the machine. It doesn’t solve the waterline issue but may help save a bit of strain

    Inflation? Wishful Thinking? Canadian Market? Two 30 footers @ $45-49K

    I totally agree on the reviews. It’s really hard when you have a boat that sails well and is good in light winds to go to something heavier. We love sailing so the biggest thing for us was finding something bigger that sails well and has more space for longer trips. The cockpit is surprising. It...

    It’s still pretty new to us, but so far we love everything about her. Great sailing in light winds yet incredible stable. What are you wanting to know?

    We imported our new boat from US… i don’t like to talk about it. The process wasn’t a bad, but I would far rather have the reversed exchange rate

    The E30 has been reduced and is definitely negotiable. She’s been a great boat for us and is fully outfitted. We have moved up to a Nordic 40. Still love our E30, but we are planning to cruise further and longer. https://thunderbirdmarine.com/yacht-sales/30-ericson-30/

    Rendezvous Summer 2023

    We have a bit of news. Eden will be on the market soon and we will no longer be Ericson owners :( We love the community and will definitely keep in touch and will share our new boat when everything is finalized (very soon). If you know anyone looking for a lovely Ericson 30+ who has been...
