ERICA racing on Eggemoggin Reach

It is with sadness that I report the passing of Doug Thompson.  He built ERICA in 2005. Doug was never happier than when he was aboard his beloved ERICA. He was one of the kindest clients we ever dealt with, and I will remember him with great fondness.

“Dear Chuck,

What a wonderful article in Yachting.

I just read your introduction in Yachting and both cried and laughed. Can’t wait for the book.  Some years back, my wife and I talked with you about Meridian.   We have always loved your designs.”
