Ericson 27/28 Opinions?
Another boat you may look at is the Paceship 26 (PY26). They are
solidly built and while they have a cored deck, they have little to no delamination / rot issues that I know of. Check out paceship.org for more details.

I was looking at the Catalina 27, mainly because it's by far the the most common 27-footer around here, but... A poster on BCBoatnet (http://www.bcboatnet.org) suggested an Ericson, and I did a little looking. All of them are in the US, most East-coast (or at least not West Coast ), but some can be had for around $10K, and they look pretty good. I know the Ericson is better-built than the Catalina, and the poster says they're faster too (not sure about that...). So: opinions? stories? experiences? Noted a coincidence: I just looked at the thread here about the boat in the surf, and it sure looks like an Ericson 27/28! And I was impressed by it staying afloat and returning upright after the rollover. Tough boat! Oh: also, any idea how much it would cost to truck a 27ft sailboat from California to BC? druid |
