39' Ericson 39 Flush Deck '71 "Traveler"
TRAVELER is by far the most updated and beautifully maintained Ericson 39 to ever be available on the market. The Ericson 39 was designed by Bruce King and built stiff and strong with a nicely finished mahogany interior. She was a successful racer in her day and the current owner of 22 years has meticulously upgraded her into an ideal safe performance cruiser for the short-handed sailor. Topsides were sprayed with Awlgrip in 2016 and she still looks like she was just recently launched. The attention to detail is superb and will surpass the most critical inspections. A joy to both see and sail.
