Hi fellow sailors!

I'm brand-new here. I just won a 1975 Ericson 27-2 in an eBay auction for $869 with supposedly a main and foresails in "excellent" condition and an 8.5hp Toshiba outboard.

With this kind of auction, the buyer cannot inspect the boat until winning it. It can be rejected then if the buyer chooses. Presumably, I will meet the prior owner, who donated it to the charity, at the same time.

I would appreciate any and all suggestions for what I should especially look for on this old girl. Perhaps someone local would be kind enough to accompany me on my inspection?

I have a modest amount of sailing experience but not much experience with maintenance and inspection.

I'm in southern California. My "new" Ericson is a slip in Long Beach

Thanks. Very good information. I would appreciate any information specific to this model or Ericsons of this vintage also.

Fair winds.
