About the Ericson 35 2 Sailboat

Originally launched in the early 1980s, this mid-sized cruiser represents Ericson Yachts' continued evolution of their popular 35-foot platform. Building on the success of the original Ericson 35, the "2" designation marked refinements to both the hull design and interior layout that addressed feedback from sailors and changing market preferences. The Ericson 35 2 maintains the builder's reputation for creating well-balanced boats that excel in coastal cruising while remaining capable enough for longer passages. Her moderate displacement and fin keel configuration provide a good blend of performance and comfort, making her equally at home on weekend getaways or extended voyages along the coast. Like other Ericson designs from this era, the 35 2 features quality fiberglass construction and thoughtful interior arrangements that maximize the use of space below decks. The cockpit design emphasizes both sailing efficiency and relaxation, with good sightlines and comfortable seating arrangements. While production numbers were relatively modest compared to some contemporary designs, the Ericson 35 2 has earned respect among sailors who appreciate a boat that combines cruising comfort with respectable sailing performance, particularly in the varied conditions found along North America's coastal waters.
