Hello all and Merry Christmas! I was just sitting here, smelling the cookies my wife is making and thinking about our Ericson 32 which is now out of the water and on the hard for the winter. I was wondering how well our Ericson 32, or any other Ericson for that matter, handles in the open ocean. We sail out of Annapolis and I've only be sailing for about 6 years and so far never in the ocean. We were hoping to make it down to Norfolk next year and take out boat out into the ocean for a short distance.
Now I know that it's not going to be like a "passage" to someplace and we'd probably not do it if the conditions were not safe. But I'd like to try it and am curious how the boat would handle. I know ocean conditions can vary greatly and so I'm asking, of you Ericson owners who have ocean sailed with your boat (especially a 32), how do they handle?
