Hi, just saw your post. I owned a C36 for about 18 years and regret letting go of it. My wife had some bad feelings for the
boat that related to a previous relationship with another woman! I would buy another C36, but she has a memory that just won't let go.
I bought the
boat in 1979 and she had just been returned from
Australia for the bank of america. Scoundrels had purchased the boat new and sailed for 2.5 years without making a payment. I have also considered this tactic over the years and can't necessarily say they were wrong. Especially in light of the recent attitude in real estate in the US where people just walk away when it isn't worth what you owe for it. I wander!
I sailed in the
SF Bay for 10 years, 5 years in S.
Cal, and then 5 years in
Puget Sound. I always felt the boat was very capable
offshore. Stable, stiff, and strong. I love the
cutter rig. I didn't have a
roller furling system and personally still prefer hanked on
sails. I had a couple of small
children eventually. The
weather in the NW generally meant that the
kids and dog were below, which meant my wife had to be below. and that left me standing out in the
wind, rain, snow or whatever for long stretches. We finally opted for a pilot house and
sold the
Ericson.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
