Hi,
we are considering Ericson 39 for extensive liveaboard/cruising,
mostly (sub-)tropics, SE Asia, mostly on anchor, low budget, couple.
What's your experience? How does it handle heavy weather? What are the
common problems with these boats?
Thanks a lot

They are well built, heavy boats that have a decent interior.

They are squirly off the wind in a blow, and would be a handful with two
people at just about any time. Big sails, heavy loads, big heavy
everything.

A very nice boat that was fun to race 20 years ago. I'd buy something
smaller.
