Ericson Yachts was founded in
1964, and virtually all their yachts were designed by Bruce
King. There have been several versions of the Ericson 35 built
over the years between 1967 and 1990, with minor variations, but all have been in the same tradition of
speed, seaworthiness and quality interiors. The last of the line was called the Ericson 350. Build quality
is very good, and although built in California their
construction standards match that of many Scandinavian builders.
Ericson Yachts went out of business in 1990, and the construction of several Ericson models was taken over by Pacific Seacraft, also then based in California, who in turn became bankrupt in 2007. Pacific Seacraft was then re-established in North Carolina with new owners, but now only build a range of high quality yachts under their own name, mostly double-enders designed by Bill Crealock. |
