Capable Bruce King pocket cruiser with significant recent upgrades ready to enjoy this season.
The Ericson has been upgraded over the past few seasons by her owners, with many costly maintenance items already completed, including: Fresh bottom paint done by The BoatYard MDR (March 2026) New mainsail (2022) Running rigging replaced (20222023) Two new Lewmar self-tailing winches for jib sheets (2022) New house battery (2024) New engine starter battery (2024) Professionally refinished Ericson Yachts mainsail cover (2024) Professionally made custom companionway hatch and grabrail covers (2024) New tiller cover and Wavefront Tiller Clutch X (2024) New Jabsco marine toilet (2022)
The Ericson offers an inviting teak interior with comfortable accommodations (sleeps 4 and is beamy at 9.25').
Features include: 5 10 of standing headroom Forward V-berth Spacious main saloon with port and starboard settees (starboard settee expands into a double berth) and a stowable 4-top table Starboard quarter berth Enclosed marine head with sink Functional galley with sink and icebox Ample storage throughout Excellent natural light and ventilation AC shore power electrical system with battery charger
Ericson is a pleasure to sail in light air and more lively breezes (mainsail is rigged with two reefpoints and genoa headsail has roller furling). I found her easy to handle alone and sailed her solo on many occasions. All lines lead back to the cockpit.
Unlike many boats in this price range, this Ericson has already received many of the upgrades buyers typically budget for immediately after buying an older boat to improve their sailing experience.
The boat is for sale now because we have purchased a bigger boat.
