Ericson

Ericson

In 2006 this Ericson won the sail Magazine contest for refit of the year.  Dozens of manufacturers donated equipment, and thousands of man hours during this refit. She was moved indoors at the renowned Wavelength facility in Portsmouth, RI where the work was performed.  This 1978 Ericson is in very good condition and with the refit it has the best equipment and is equal to that of a boat 30 years newer. 

There are a couple of things that need to be done: the hull has been scratched not gauged.  The anchor came loose and banged against the side for an extended length of time which resulted in the scratches.  There also should be an AC added for use in the southern states.  Other than that she has excellent electronics and equipment. 

This is a true performer and is very fast and comfortable!

Starting forward is the private double V-berth with storage underneath.  The private head is aft and to port with a manual marine toilet, wash basin, shower with a sump.  Head shower system (new 2011).  A large hanging locker is to starboard.  Next is the salon with L-shaped settee to port and a straight settee to starboard, a drop-leaf centerline table, pilot berths and plenty of storage.  All new headliner 2008.  The galley is L-shaped and is next aft and to starboard and features a deep sink with hot & cold pressure water and storage and working space.  The nav station is next aft and to port with a life-up table and plenty of room for navigation and communication equipment and charts.  Aft of the nav station is the double quarter berth.  Well finished teak interior, teak & holly sole-2008.
