ERICSON 32
HOMEPAGE

About This Site

This site is designed to be a source of information for Ericson 32 owners worldwide. It is not affiliated with Pacific Seacraft, the most recent manufacturers of the Ericson line of fine sailboats. In addition to being a repository of maintenance tips, sources of parts, and project ideas, this site is a continuously growing database of boats including such information as hull number, year built, marina and homeport, boat name, and owner. I estimate we've got about four percent of all Ericson 32 owners onboard, so keep spreading the word!

The site has been redesigned to allow simpler navigation. Let me know what you think!
It should also now be easier to update.

This site can most easily be accessed from:
http://geocities.com/tpe2/ericson.htm


Dead links tell no tales, and in any event are not very seamanlike.
If any of the links on the site are not functioning, please email me.


Are you a Meticulous Recordkeeper?

Do you have an advertisement, company literature, or magazine article about the 32 which does not appear here?
Do you have a photo of your boat--preferably taken under sail?
Send me a copy to me, electronic or otherwise, and I will place it on the site for all to see.
If you do not have access to a scanner, I would be happy to scan the material for you with meticulous care and return it at my expense.

 Frequently asked questions

Q: Why can't I read the files on this site?

Some of the graphics files available on this site, particularly those in black-and-white, differ from what you find on most of the Web. I received them from Meticulous Recordkeepers around the world as faxes--essentially multi-page images. They are like PDFs, but of graphics, not text, and they may require some tweaking of your computer.

Most of the computers I have used running Windows 95 or better have been able to read these TIFF (.tif) or XIFF (.xif) files automatically. But if you have difficulty, try downloading and installing Xerox's modest but capable freeware program Pagis Viewer. The plug-in at that site is optional. Use that program to read the files after you download them to your hard drive. If you click on a file but Pagis doesn't open to read it, run Pagis and look for the file in your c:\temp subdirectory, or wherever your computer saves temporary internet files (the cache). The file you want will probably be one of the most recent in the subdirectory.

If you have a Mac, you need only download GraphicConverter, a seriously versatile shareware graphics viewer and editor. QuickTime, for some reason, allows you only to see the first page.
