29' Ericson 29

1977 Ericson 29 "Finlandia"

This is a great sailboat, ready to sail. It is currently in the water and has a fairly clean bottom. I've owned this boat since April of this year, and I am in close contact with the previous owner. Recent major improvements include, all new shivs which allow smooth raising and lowering of the sails, pressure water system, icebox converted to fridge, an A/C panel with new wiring, and new exhaust. All of the woodwork is in good condition with most having new polyurethane. Included is 2 furling genoas, 1 main, and 1 spinnaker, all in good cruising condition.

This boat is ready to sail. The fridge is huge and ice cold. We have slept 5 on this boat, but it will sleep 6 comfortably. I'm including all of the equipment and extras that I have. This includes quite a lot of new West Marine parts that are uninstalled (hoses, city water connection, spreader boots, electrical kit and parts, tools, chemicals, cleaning supplies, flags, extra line). I have too many hobbies and the boat must go. Please make an offer.

Originally asking $11,000. Now asking $8,500

Things the boat needs:
2. The main sail cover is old and worn, I recommend replacing it, perhaps with a "lazy
jack" style cover.
3. The inverter needs better attachment
4.Sand and oil the external teak and buff the sides
5. Install cotter pins on rigging
6. Finish refurbishing teak companionway cover. (70% sanded needs polyurethane)
