sailondreams is on a distinguished road
Only young still

Our baby was 'born' in 1974, so she's not really a lovely vintage lady like some of the posts. She is an Ericson 39, originally registered in the US, sailed around the world twice by the original owners, then sold in Aus when health issues forced them to return to US. Their loss was our gain, and we love sailing her and living aboard.

Mostly still original inside, with the odd addition (a pantry and a small locker) and some white paint (lots of dark timber inside originally, and painted some bulkheads white to lighten her up)

Still have one sail with Ericson logo on it, even though we've owned her for 8 years now. Speaks volumes for finding a good sailmaker! Have some minor problems with US fittings/nuts & bolts in Aus and had to change 110V power to 240
