This classic 1985 Ericson 32-3 is part of the first robustly-built Ericson boats built in 1985 by Bruce King.
This Ericson 32-3 handles well in all types of weather and makes 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. The steering wheel comes with a cover.
Below deck, the layout is spacious and inviting. The teal 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 U-shaped galley is located to starboard and opposite is a forward-facing navigation table whose seat is the head of the quarter berth. Moving into the saloon with its 6' 2" of headroom, there is a teak table surrounded by large wraparound seats which folds down 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.
Reason for selling is no longer using.
