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

are you going to sail it there?
how old are you?
can you run four 10 minute miles?

can you do five pull ups?

Hey ClubCo:

What is so "hilarious" about being reasonably ambulatory for a world
cruise. As one earlier poster noted, ".... here we go again...!" I
agree, and also ask, why do people get soooooo argumentative when
fitness is considered as part of pre-cruise planning?

I may lie out of the 2nd SD but...................

Bob,
I dare to say that I was asking clearly about a particular boat and
personal experience with it. I just don't see how I could have asked
more clearly.

That may be the question asked, but once its out there on a public
forum, it belongs to everyone. And when you don't know the answer to
a question, its easier to just change the question!

And besides, we have an obligation to the thousands of lurkers out
there. If we simply answered the questions, that would imply tacit
approval for anyone to go cruising without passing our inspection.

There is an Islander 40, a similar size boat in my marina, in
Thailand. The couple sailed it from California and live on it about 6
months a year. No reason you can't do the same.

Hi Gordon:

Agreed...... lots of old feble, fat, fair, and over fifty people do
it. As I mentined even a blind pair went sailing past the west coast a
few months ago. But I gots to ask: If its such a good idea why does it
typically result in such a media splash? In other words, if its so
normal and common why such attention as if it is a news worth?????
