The Sweet Ericson 28+ Sailboat! Welcome to Anchored! Sailors and Their Boats - a captivating and fun series that takes you on a journey through the lives of sailors and their beloved boats.
"Anchored" as a metaphor represents stability, security, and a firm foundation. It signifies being grounded, rooted, or tethered to something reliable or trustworthy.
Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of seafaring enthusiasts, explore their sailing experiences, and unravel the unique stories behind their vessels. Whether you're an avid sailor, an adventure seeker, or simply curious about the maritime lifestyle, this series will immerse you in the captivating world of sailors and their boats. Our goal: To Discover what aspects of a particular boat captivated the owner's affection. Was it the hull shape, the sheer line, the transom, the interior? Who knows? But we aim to find out.
In this episode, we meet Kevin who is 75 and just bought this beautiful 1982 Ericson 28+ for him and his wife to cruise the coast of Maine. It's a very slick boat and Kevin was a very gracious host - and willing to be our beta test! By the way, Ericson Sailboats have ties to Maine. In the 1970s, Ericson was sold to a company called CML, owned by Charles M. Leighton. Charles Leighton is credited with starting the sailing program at Bowdoin College. Pretty cool. So, Thank you, Kevin. We hope you enjoy the show!
