Cruiser-Racer

This Ericson 35 has the sought-after shoal draft keel. Performance is respectable in this cruiser/racer boat. She carries a PHRF handicap of 141 and a JAM handicap of 152. She has acquitted herself well in occasional club racing. She is a good-looking classic boat. The design has stood the test of time. She" can be single-handed. All six winches are self-tailing. The interior is reasonably roomy. This would be a good boat for a family seeking to cruise, day sail, or race in safety and comfort. Air conditioning and an upgraded galley with refrigeration and a newer stove/oven adds to her livability. When the wind dies, she is well powered with a 32 HP Universal diesel. This provides more power and speed than many Ericson 35s have.
