Wonderful to see what you have done to update your Ericson 41. My family owned an Ericson 41 for 27 years out of Newport, California. It was 5 years old when my folks bought it and had 15 bags of sails on it, having already been on Transpac twice and raced to Tahiti once. Your video bought back fond memories for me. Thank you.

Sailing Alma it’s a 1977 Catalina 27. Not planning on any ocean crossings with it, just getting the family out on the water for weekend adventures locally here in SoCal. Not sure if you’ve got the footage or not, but I’d love to hear more about the process you went through painting your interior. I’m having a few issues with the original wood stain seeping through. Wondering if you had similar issues and what you did.

I have a suggestion about some things. Is there a way to capture rain water and have it flow into a barrel that you could use for things? Sorta like capturing rain off a house roof. Maybe a PVC hook up running straight to barrel. Also, you could use oversized PVC and make your own storage places around boat! You could cap the ends with solid cap on one end and a threaded end on front. Great for storage and lightweight as well. You could make shelves inside of your boat. You have to get a solar cooker for your food. Great out in all that sunshine you guys are in. Will save much of your gas. You'll love the taste of your food. Utilize as much of DIY technology as you can. All PVC pipe can be glued together eliminating need for special tools for shelves and other things. Use zip ties to put in place around boat. Hope this helps. Thank you for sharing your beautiful boat with us. Stay safe and enjoy life.
