PROVISION IT AND GO!! Not enough superlatives to describe this EXTRAORDINARY, ready to cross oceans, fin keel classic 1976 Ericson 36C. This vessel is ready for the mariner who wants to go exploring in a boat that needs nothing. Attention to detail and pride of ownership abound. 

About her..

This REMARKABLE, WORLD CLASS, GO ANYWHERE Ericson 36 C has a flush deck, fin keel, expansive cockpit and spacious interior that is encapsulated by the warmth of wood which is well known by the Ericson brand. This vessel underwent extensive refitting in 2020-2022 with safe and comfortable solo blue water sailing in mind. The exterior deck is open with plenty of room for the working crew or solo sailor. This model has the forward deck section that is designed for relaxation and safety. The top lifelines were replaced with a stainless steel 1” rail in 2021 for safety and new lifelines and gates were installed 7/22. The cockpit is deep and spacious and allows plenty of room to walk around with no issues of a boom overhead. There is a binnacle which has the compass, Raymarine Axiom Pro MFD with Navionics Chartplotting, Quantum 2 Radar, Auto pilot Control head and two (2) I-70 Raymarine instrument displays. It also has a charging station for the handheld Simrad VHF remote mic.

The helm is a direct drive system that has a new (7/22) autopilot drive. A solar tower with dinghy davits (installed with dinghy lifting blocks 7/22), also supports two (2) solar panels, a VHF antenna, GPS antenna and a cell booster.

The barndoor transom rudder was replaced with a custom-made rudder in 2021. There are three sails, the main and staysail are North and were new in 2019 and seldom used. There is a Jib in very good condition that had a new roller furling and forestay replaced in 2021. The mast was pulled in 2021 with new wiring, new lights (including spreader with both red/white lighting), new wind vane and new VHF antenna installed. All standing rigging was replaced in 2021 and chainplates inspected and rebedded. About 90 percent of the deck plates were removed and rebedded. All 8 Beautiful Barlow winches were removed, and assessed for need for new parts, cleaned or old lubricants, re-lubricated and reinstalled. A Lewmar H3Gypsy Drum Horizontal Windlass with both manual switching in the cockpit and a remote for working forward that was installed 2021. There is a dedicated Optima dry cell deep cycle battery and Pergo switching in a dedicated cabinet in the lounge for the windlass.   A Forespar Medium Yacht Rod boom vang was installed, and reefing system installed 7/22. Lazy Jacks were installed 2021.

The spacious companionway invites you to enter the beautiful, spacious living area with a galley and lounge (starboard), the settee and dining table and entrance to full head with shower with double access doors (port side). A double butterfly hatch makes for nice ventilation and natural interior light. The headliner (except rear berth) was installed in 2021. Each headliner panel is removable making access to any deck plates, wiring or future needs accessible. The underdeck was insulated with 3/8” insulation board glued to the under hull. Each panel was custom built using 4 ml marine plywood and has a glued/stapled pure white vinyl/ foam backing material from Sailrite. This was a 500 hour project and sets the interior apart from any other Ericson out there. You enter the rear berth, quarter birth and chartroom just port of the steps from the companionway through another door. The V-Berth is forward with closing door, appointed with memory foam mattresses and a filler to make it a double bed. A hanging locker is in the V berth as well as access to the anchor chain locker and under bed storage are in the v-berth.. Three additional reading lights and a 12 volt fan (installed 2021) make for a comfortable sleeping area with the forward hatch just above your head. 

The galley has a very functional refrigeration/freezer, LP gas stove/oven and a microwave. There is a 2 gallon LP tank in the LP storage locker in the cockpit.

The head has new sanitation hoses (2021) with an additional 16 gallon holding tank installed. A Y valve, a Whaler Sanitation manual pump, and macerator allow for transfer for either overboard or deck waste removal.

The Electrical system had major refitting to accommodate all new navigational equipment (12/20). Over $60,000 is documented for the work that was done. Every electrical component is new including the new circuit panel, new A/C power inlet with Smart Cord, battery charging, solar control, galvanic isolators and so much more.

The chartroom includes a nav station, Red/White chart light, table, hanging locker, electronic modules for the navigational equipment all in an enclosed cabinet. Dual chart plotters with Axiom Pro MFD are connected for both interior/exterior usage. A Simrad VHF Radio with AIS (2020) was installed. There is a dedicated deep cycle sealed engine starting battery with dedicated circuit switches in the rear berth.

Epirb and liferaft included.

The low hour Yanmar 3GM30F diesel engine is a 1991 and clean as can be.
