Ericson 35 1

Built during Ericson's heyday in the 1970s, this 35-footer represents the California builder's commitment to performance-oriented cruising sailboats that could handle both coastal adventures and competitive racing. Ericson established itself as a manufacturer that understood the desires of West Coast sailors who wanted boats capable of spirited sailing in challenging conditions. The Ericson 35 1 carries the design DNA typical of the era's successful mid-size sailboats, with a moderate displacement hull form that balances speed with seaworthiness. Her lines suggest capability for both weekend coastal cruising and longer offshore passages, making her appealing to sailors seeking versatility in their sailing program. Like other Ericson models from this period, the 35 1 likely features a well-proportioned sail plan and construction quality that has allowed many examples to remain active decades after launch. The boat's sizing places it in the sweet spot for couples or small families wanting adequate living space without the complexity and expense of larger vessels. For sailors researching classic fiberglass sailboats with proven track records, the Ericson 35 1 represents the solid craftsmanship and sailing characteristics that made the brand respected among serious sailors of the period.
