    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

    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.

      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...

    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.

    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

    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!

    Captain my captain. Thursday already and a classic Ericson. Lovely old girl. I will totally buy this when I win this week's Powerball now worth over 1.5 billion dollars. Heck I might even spring for dinner with Captain Q and Randay. Hot dogs ok with you guys? God bless and have a great weak.

    Only $25k for this beauty?! Why am I looking at more expensive boats? What a cockpit! A little work (lifelines, galley redesign, propane compartment, etc.) is all she needs to be absolutely perfect. I imagine you'd be the belle of the ball wherever you sailed. 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.

    OK, it wasn't at all evident in the video, and I can't imagine how this box has survived for 40ish years, but...... that shippy looking box housing the steering gear is identical to the one on the smaller sistership Independence 31. Way back in '77-'78, I chartered the 31 in Ft Lauderdale. We were supposed to go to Bimini overnight, but, it was blowing steady 25 from the NE. The square waves were too much, so, we decided to pull into Gummint Cut in Miami. Round about 2 AM, we turned west into the channel. Ya know, with the rock jetties on either side. Well, that steering equipment box decided it was time. It fell apart. The front vertical cover was fastened into the PLYWOOD sides with woodscrews INTO THE PLYS. I screamed at my brother to wake up and pull the sails down. I ran past the mast, blowing the halyards on the way. I grabbed the anchor chain, which, conveniently, had a nice knot just below the beautiful chromed hawsehole cover. That ripped out of the deck (picture Incredible Hulk) with chain and rode. First miracle: we stopped 30 feet from the south rock jetty. Called securitay, CG towed us in, left us at the Chalk's seaplane dock on the north side of the channel. Second miracle: the night watchman let me use the Chalks machine shop and supply room. I made aluminum corner brackets for the collapsed box. I repaired the box. We left at 7 AM before the Chalks people got in to work. We all lived happily ever after. Moral: Please don't ever fasten boxes together with wood screws into the edge of your plywood. Amen.

    Beautiful and very intriguing! I wonder how she handles; I want to sail her! She is very beamy for her length which is why I would love to take her for a sail just to experience her nature. Her owner should be applauded for her incredible condition. Great find and thank you for sharing!

  • @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.

    I bet this boat is already sold. It certainly looks like a great boat at a very reasonable price. I was quite surprised at size and comfort of the cockpit and belowdecks. If I was in the market, I would be all over this boat.
