Beautiful, well cared for Ericson 30 Sloop, she is ready now for her next adventure.

This classic 1986 Ericson 30 is part of the first robustly-built Ericson boats built in 1985 by Bruce King.

This Ericson 30 handles well in weather and could make a comfortable liveaboard. The boat is well-balanced and sails both on and off the wind under headsail only, making it easy to sail single-handedly.

You'll love the large cockpit with its curved helmsman's perch to compensate for varying degrees of heel. The angled seatbacks make it comfortable for the crew.

Below deck, the layout is spacious and inviting. The dark blue cushions set off the teak used throughout the boat. The sole is teak and holly. If you're standing by the companionway ladder, the galley is located to port and opposite is a forward-facing navigation table whose seat is the head of the quarter berth. Moving into the salon, there is a teak table surrounded by large wraparound seats which convert to form a double berth, and a long settee to starboard. There is storage space under the seat.

The V-berth in the forward cabin contains lots of storage space under hatches and in drawers. There is a hanging locker for clothing. The head is aft of this cabin to port and contains a toilet, a sink, a shower, and storage space.

Remove the companionway ladder and you have excellent access to the engine.
