Ericson 32 Scorpion

Built during a brief two-year production run from 1966 to 1967, this rare Ericson model represents only 24 hulls ever constructed, making it a unique find in today's market. The Scorpion showcases classic mid-1960s design philosophy with its moderate proportions and traditional fractional sloop rig configuration. At 32.25 feet overall with a waterline length of 22.58 feet, the boat offers a comfortable balance between performance and practicality. The fin keel design with 4.25 feet of draft provides good upwind ability while maintaining reasonable shoal water access for coastal cruising. With 2,600 pounds of ballast in a 4,600-pound displacement, the Scorpion achieves a healthy stability ratio that inspires confidence in varying conditions. The boat's 315 square feet of sail area and SA/Displacement ratio of 18.27 suggest spirited performance in moderate conditions, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and club racing. The comfort ratio of 24.22 indicates a relatively quick motion that favors performance over ultimate comfort, while the capsize screening value of 1.51 falls within acceptable ranges for coastal sailing. This fiberglass construction classic appeals to sailors seeking a distinctive vintage boat with proven seaworthiness and engaging sailing characteristics.
