1975 Anacapri Erika 24 Restoration
03/24/13 - At the power tool lot ready for cabin deck re-core.
I have never attempted anything like this before, but I like projects and I found this one of a kind unique boat. It may be the last one still around. It has some problems, but it is very solidly built and of a design that appeals to me so I decided to go for it!
Here is the short list:
- The cabin roof core is shot - rotted away due to water intrusion from screws by previous owner(s) that were not bedded in several locations.
- Encapsulated swing keel has split in one area at leading edge
- Window gaskets have failed
- Home-built forward hatch that just sits there with no operating hardware or means to secure.
- Trailer general wear (already replaced tires) and welding attention needed. It is however serviceable for the present.
- Paint - lots and lots of paint
Hey Bill. I found your threads on sailnet and that led me to your blog which I'm really enjoying. I was looking for info because I was thinking about buying this.

I think it may be the last one in existence.
I wish I had bought it
ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteMy parents have an Erica in Virginia. They got it at a church auction 10 years ago for $700. The hull is painted orange and we just like putting it in the water in front of the house to look at. It has nice lines. I will send you a picture.

Just saw your comment. These are really rare! I wish I never sold it, but it went to a good home!

The kids are gone and I want to upgrade. It is a sweetheart, needs a little work but is pretty and solid. Let me know if you know of a good home.
