36' Ericson 36C

Beautifully maintained Bruce King-designed Ericson 36C. Although always in fresh water, this is a serious sailor's boat...super heavy construction designed for safe and comfortable blue water sailing.

Only three owners since new. Ready to sail today with extensive upgrades, including a new mainsail, and new galley. In addition, the boat comes with an autopilot and a dependable Westerbeke/Bukh diesel engine. She is in outstanding cosmetic and mechanical condition for her age.

Buccaneer is a distinctive cutter-rigged cruiser designed by renowned naval architect Bruce King. Built as Ericson's Bicentennial flagship, she is one of only about 65 ever produced, a rare opportunity to own arguably the finest yacht Ericson ever built. She represents the uncommon combination of classic beauty, exceptional sailing performance, and meticulous long-term ownership.

Although the hull is fiberglass, the yacht has the warmth and character of a traditional wooden boat. Exterior trim is teak, while the cabin features beautifully crafted, hand-laid mahogany throughout. The wide, uncluttered deck provides excellent space for entertaining and moving about safely. The spacious cockpit, enhanced by a Bimini top and newer cushions, offers the comfort and seating capacity normally found on much larger yachts.

Built to offshore standards, Buccaneer displaces over 19,000 pounds and was designed for safe, comfortable long-distance travel in a wide range of conditions. For the past 18 years, she has been carefully maintained by a USCG-licensed captain and ASA Certified Sailing Instructor who is now transitioning to a cruising trawler.
