Ericson 39B Owner

Sea Maid · 31-12-2007, 10:59

Hello all, I am looking to build a complete hard dodger for my Ericson 39B sailboat. I would be ever so greatful for some pictures of how some of you have done yours. My wife and I and our Newfoundland dog liveaboard in Brownsville, Wa. We have lived aboard for 3 years now. We have recently purchased the 39B. Before this boat we lived aboard a Ericson 32 for a year. Our very first sailboat was a Cal 25. Hope to hear from some of you. Mike.

Kind Regards,

Try EricsonYachts.org: The Starting Point on Ericson Yachts! if you haven't already. Ericson yachts have a very strong following and you will find tons of info on their site. Good luck.

Do a search for hard dodger and you'll get some interesting threads.

Sorry Mike. I just tried that and it didn't work for me. Too many hits. Go to CelestialSailor and check out his posts. He did one and posted lots of info.

Mike, we also have a 39-B with a hard dodger. Actually we are in the process of selling the boat, but that's another story. She was a great boat for us and I'm sure you'll get many years of enjoyment and great adventures with her.

On the page we are using to advertise her
( http://www.queserasailing.com/ericson39b.htm ) , there are a few photos showing the dodger. Also if you look through the general web site, you'll find a whole bunch of other photos that might give you more details.

Good Luck,
Greg

Greg thanks for the info. I have seen your site before and absolutely loved seeing your adventure that you went on. We also live with a dog. We have a Newfoundland. I made a special ramp for her to get in and out of the boat. It folds up out of the way and you never know its there. I see that you moved up a few feet in boat length, congrats! The shape of the entryway to the main cabin is quite unique on the 39B. It makes putting a dodger threre a tough challenge. Anyway thanks for posting a reply.
