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...

I thought this as well. I liked the look of his boat, and when I
approached him for more info (shopping for a similar size), that's
what he told me unprompted. He seemed to have a good deal of
experience with boats (on the bay at least), so I tend to believe what
he said. I've only sailed on one, and that was years ago, but it
seemed ok, although not spectacular.

I definitely like cals and, to a lessor degree, cats. The latter have
nice layouts, and I have a good friend who owned a 30 until
recently. He loved it, but sails in So. Cal., which has much lighter
wind.
