Capt. JG....that's interesting...thanx for the info...i thought
ericsons were considered a bit on the overbuilt and heavy
side....not as light as, say cal's, catilinas, etc...

JG doesn't know what he's talking about. Ericson/Pacific Seacraft made
lots of boats that were quite suitable for crossing oceans and
circling the globe. Lots of them have done so.

Come on. They weren't associated with each other until the late 80s,
early 90s I believe.


And? Check your calendar.. It's now almost 2006! Many of the Ericsons
that bean counter might be consdoering WERE built by Pacific Seacraft


Take your advice from before... stop posting nonsense.

Jon,

You obviously don't know squat about Ericsons. Lots of them have been
sailed all over the world. They are fine for crossing oceans. You
talked to ONE timid sailing couple who felt that sailing in over 20
knots was scary FOR THEM.

Ah, don't know how to break the news to ya, read the fine print he

Now, maybe you can post a link to show us any Ericsons for sale that were
built between 1990-2006?

Sure!

That's just one of several 1989 and 1990 models I found in about 5 seconds
of
looking on one website.

And, meanwhile, there were also many Ericsons built before that which were
EXCELLENT ocean going yachts. PS bought Ericson specifically because they
were a
competitor in the offshore yacht market.

Never said they weren't offshore capable, only tried to point out that none
of the boats you're linking to were built by Pacific Seacraft. None.
1989 never even comes into the equation as PS, which is now privately owned
by the Japanese, didn't purchase the assets of the company until 1990.
