1979 Ericson Independence cutter rig sail boat for sale. Bruce King designed for himself rare only 69 made.

Lots of new items too many to list, new electric panels, new alcohol Dometic gimbal stove, new Engel fridge/freezer, new never used composting toilet, bottom job done and sanded all ready for ablative paint.
Dependable 2QM 15hp Yanmar diesel runs nicely.
Ericson 31 is a very comfortable and safe blue water cruising sailboat with lots of character and she turns heads.
More than 6� headroom, good capable long-distance cruiser. Deck is solid. Chainplates solid. Wheel or tiller steering with custom built wind vane. Harken roller furler. New fuel tank. New through hulls. Plumbing is done and water tanks cleaned and empty.

Selling due to lack time to finish and distance away. She really needs to be out sailing.
