I am going to look at a couple of Ericson 27's a 26, and a Catalina
27. The Ericson's are 1978 or so. The Catalina 1984. Some with inboard
gas, inboard diesel and outboard power. Standing headroom, head, simple
galley, berths for 4.
I think we can afford the purchase price, upkeep and slip fees at a
minimal marina. I don't want to trailer a larger boat. I want to learn to
sail, have some coastal fishing trips, take the family to Catalina a couple
of times per year. We'll figure out some other way to make an expedition to
Bahia de Los Angeles.
The biggest question is should I do this or wait and save money
until I can afford a Westsail 32 or similar?
I subscribed to the digest version of this list. It only arrives
once every couple of weeks.
Thanks for your comments.
