[@gordonshaffer5560]

Perfect cockpit, beautiful saloon, cozy and effective owner stateroom, nice looking cabinetry, beautiful rigging, the only thing I can see wrong is the lifeline needing replacement. What a great boat for $25k. Old man envy in full swing here.

[@bravofighter]

Same!

[@hturner5427]

So far of all your videos, this is my favorite. What a boat, huge cockpit, flush deck and great interior layout. Wonderful lines, a true yacht if there ever was.

[@YachtHunters]

It’s right up there for us… wonderful condition too! Cheers

[@bmxerkrantz]

I haven't even seen the video yet, and I know I'm liking it. Might be a bit partial as an ericson owner. They sail great for cruising.

[@taterkaze9428]

For anyone as tall as CQ, or shorter, this boat is a no-brainer. Total gem. $25k is a steal.

[@YachtHunters]

Does seem like it! Cheers

[@thomasquinn284]

Oh Captain, my Captain! I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE with this beauty. If I were a younger man I would hop on it and buy it. But at 84 I will be captive by its beauty and charm and admire it afar from Ft. Lauderdale. So good to view Sea Dog with a home like this. Thank you for giving an old man such a sweet dream. You and Randy are The Best!

Cheers Thomas!! Happy to keep the dream alive!!

Thanks for sharing Thomas!!

[@brubak77]

I've had the pleasure of sailing on this boat. Let me tell you, it is ALL THAT! Her fine captain entertained many guests in that spacious and comfortable cockpit, gracing Narragansett Bay with her powerful cutter rig, The sheets are easy to handle, and the helm is light and responsive as she drives to windward. It is such a handsomely crafted vessel and so well cared for, I told the skipper it was a museum class boat, a description Cap'n Q used also.

[@YachtHunters]

lucky you... we would have loved to have taken her for a spin on the Narragansett. cheers

[@dicktilton6310]

I saw this boat (or one just like her...) tied up in Portsmouth, NH, back in the 80s. She has such a different - and very clean - look, that I couldn't work out what she was... In its own way, this boat is exotic. I was shocked to see here that she was an Ericson - not that Ericson doesn't build nice boats. She's just so not a part of a "line" of boats that share design and finish details...

[@AcornToArabella]

Louis Sullivan is my favorite architect. I'm glad to hear him referenced! He did a lot of beautiful things, and that quote was about trying to find an American style of architecture after so much echoed from other places in unimpressive and simply derivative ways. I'm a nerd. This boat has a lot of DNA relating it to Thomas Gillmer's Blue Moon... my cockpit is so so similar. Raised deck 'midships, but this lil guy has a sweep on that bulwarks like a Stone Horse. NOICE. It's got me! -Anne

[@YachtHunters]

Was that a three stooges “Noice”??

[@rickstevens1479]

25k for a ready to go little cruiser is amazing. Its like nobody has a good excuse not to get sailing today .add a small diesel stove and you could go off season New England sight seeing. Dreaming out loud.....another gem .

[@YachtHunters]

Or even a sea swing (see episode #7) to keep it simple

[@bmxerkrantz]

@@YachtHunters I'm off to check out that video! Ericson 28+ and a winter project is installing a sea swing for cooking on passages. Always better to run through all the ideas one can before drilling a hole in a boat.

Ahhhhh, it's Thursday night. Thanks for another episode Capt Q. And Rand-day, thanks for the videography and editing. It really is awesome.

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

What a stunning, exceptionally well kept little vessel with an amazing aft cabin that looks like something from a much larger than 36' yacht. I love everything about it but the galley but that wouldn't be to hard to redesign. The engine access is amazing albeit a little under powered for my liking but then again she is an extremely capable sailor from the look of things. If I had the 25k I'd already be in the process of making this my new cruising boat as I bet she'd be a dream to bomb around on in the Bahamas. Thanks for the tour as always and you gents always find the coolest yachts out there...

[@YachtHunters]

Cheers and another viewer commented that they had the same engine in a much heavier boat so you might be surprised how well she gets along with it… but each to their own. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

@@YachtHunters Yes I saw that comment so I'd be very comfortable taking her out. I just don't think I'd be willing to fight high currents but then again from what the other viewer said she may be just fine...

My new favorite. I just love that cockpit, heck, all of it!

[@YachtHunters]

sweet, no?

[@bradmorrison9027]

While I'm wishing for things, I wouldn't mind the boat being a bit longer, and having things for long distance cruising, like a water maker, etc., but that is only because, in virtually every way, shape, and form, this is my DREAM BOAT! So attractive, so well built, love the historic air about her, her lines, the set-in cabin access, aft cabin, staysail-ready, just Perfect!

[@dicktilton6310]

So... A couple would be just fine and comfy on long trips with this little gem, so... plenty of room for extras - like a water maker!

Now I just need to figure out how to steer it. :) Thank you both for opening my eyes and assuring me that owning a beautiful boat doesn't have to break the bank.

Talk about a great boat bruce king really made this boat wonderfull for the size and accommodation very much reminds me of a sam crocker alden stone horse of a newer age looks like I know where bruce and Erickson got their great idea from not only that I think they 1 upped it first it is built of fiberglass 2nd the whole offset companionway and bridgedeck also the fantail cockpit just made the boat and the way all the previous owners have taken care of this vessel shows it is great to see fiberglass boat owners with the same care that a wooden boat owner has very nice episode capt q and randeyyyyy

My dad had the exact same boat in San Diego down to the blue trim stripe. I sent a lot of time on it, the v berth was my home. The steering system was different in my dad's, the wheel was mounted on a pedestal in the center of the cockpit sole. I think the system here is better, more direct. I like the emergency tiller receptacle too. His head the Volvo 3cyl diesel I believe. The ceiling was teak stripping, not naugahyde. The V berth had the filler piece with a fitted cushion. It made the V berth gigantic. Really enjoyed this video!

[@ronaldsmith2343]

I have helmed the Fazisi (sometimes with 6 for more than a week) and no matter the weather, what I missed on many other boats, no matter the size, was mast - line of sight - LED displays. Usually mounted low just below my foremost bow deck line angle. (I see all there, for me) Or higher on the mast pointed down to lower on the helm than in my direct line of sight. Everything(!) in LARGE bright, straight-line, middle-of-line helm/wheel hub-centered projected displays. Never had to take my eyes away or blink at night for the change from the display lights to the next course adjustment - out there. Simplicity is everything on a 24-hour helm team - especially at night in steep rollers/storms. Watch way far out in a Maxi, you will be there before you think. And I love the need for speed - even at 2 up, 4 down, on a 4-hour rotation. Oh to be young again. but damn, windburn is a good thing

[@starcarrier1874]

you're right, it's a fantastic value... it's a super boat and for $25k you'll be hard pressed to find something better. I was looking for a little more of a project boat that I could learn more of the systems and modify it to a go-anywhere kind of boat.... this boat needs very little!! ;)

[@lancevanhillions5545]

I almost fell out of my seat when I saw this week’s episode. I just bought one of these beauties last winter and sailed her all season. She just got hauled out for the winter. I can confirm, they are a dream to sail. I have a lot of work to do to get mine in to this condition. Many have asked about steering and dealing with the throttle. By standing to the front or side of the helm you can steer, operate the main sheet and deal with dock lines without getting the knobs of the wheel hooked on your clothes or safety gear. “Why not just have a tiller?”, some have asked? It’s largely due to operational space. If you have company in the cockpit, you are going to be whacking people in the head when operating the barn-door sized rudder with a tiller. It is certainly an unconventional design. But, it it is quite practical. Originally, they came available with a little seat that sat on top of the box that contains the steering mechanism. I have only seen one 36C that still has that little seat.
