1977 Ericson 5101
The Ericson 32 is a Bruce King design from the late 1960s through the late 70s, when 475 of these great fin keel, spade rudder, (double spreader mast) boats were built. They were quite popular and did well in racing circles; cruisers loved them for their comfort and fast passages.
Feothan is a two owner boat only and she has spent her entire life on Lake Michigan. This is a solid fiberglass hull with a cored deck. The hull and decks appear to be solid and do not have structural problems. She has no history of damage to the hull. The fore deck and starboard deck had some core replacement in 2012 by Torresen Marine, Inc. She is in heated storage and will soon be outside, with her mast stepped. The prop shaft and seal were repaired in 2012. The head, waste tank and all lines were replaced in 2012.
The depth sounder unit was replaced and a Garmin chart plotter were all added in 2013. New main and jib sheets were installed 2 years ago and new halyards are to be installed this summer. Lazy jacks were recently installed for the main. The sails are original and are in good to fair condition.
The interior cushions appear to be original, but are in good condition. The teak and holly cabin sole have minor cosmetic blemishes. There is a cold water manual pump in the galley and head compartments. There is an ice box that drains to the bilge.
The engine is the original Atomic Four - it has received frequent service throughout its life, including annual oil changes. The raw water pump impeller was recently replaced. The carburetor was serviced recently as well.
