This sailboat is the much sought after classic Bruce King designed 1986 Ericson 35MK3 (hull #233). The Ericson 35Mk3 is known for windward speed, overall performance and comfort. The hull is of a very robust solid fiberglass construction with an integral supporting tri-axial force grid to provide stiffness and support to the hull, decking and rigging. The vessel is clean, dry, well equipped, fully operational and ready to leave the dock at any moment. We have been the same owners since 2004 and have enjoyed many cruises and adventures in the PNW. The boat has been raced locally in PHRF club series to gain sail and boat handling experience. This vessel exudes classic charm and now is the time to transfer it to new owners to continue the adventures. It needs to be seen to appreciate the condition and all the amenities.
The hull interior includes solid teak appointments throughout, a U-shaped galley, navigation station, sleeping berths for 6 persons, enclosed head with separate shower, ample storage capacity with a hanging locker in the forward cabin and main cabin access to the diesel engine. There are three stainless-steel water tanks with a total capacity of 100 gallons and a diesel tank with a capacity of 40 gallons. All the lines are led back to the cockpit for easy handling by a couple or short-handed crew.
A haul-out was just completed with bottom painting, hull and topside waxing, anodes replaced and the max-prop serviced. A survey was performed just over a year ago and the condition was determined to be “above average” by the surveyor. This survey is available to prospective buyers.
