Ericson Cruising 31

“Aurora” is a wholesome compromise of traditional hull with performance cruising under body and rig.  She will stand up to heavy weather with a minimum of fuss and will ghost along surprisingly well in lighter air.  The sails are new and the engine has been replaced.  She has been in the same family since new.  Seven months of every year have been spent inside a heated building.

•  With the abundance of oiled teak, a soft leatherette headliner, bronze opening ports, and teak and holly cabin sole, the interior of the Cruising 31 is a true work of the craftsman’s art.
•  Forward cabin has full size double berth with hanging locker, shelf w/fiddle rail, cabinets,  deck hatch, and bronze opening port w/curtain.
•  Head is to starboard with Jabsco manual head & holding tank , foot pump cold water, stainless steel sink, counter space w/fiddle rail, cabinet, storage shelves, and bronze opening port w/curtain.
•  The salon starboard settee slides out to form a comfortable double berth with storage underneath, behind and outboard. The port settee has a foot well into the hanging locker to convert it to a single berth with storage underneath, behind and outboard. The drop-leaf, teak dining table seats six. For ventilation there is a screened deck hatch, four bronze opening ports w/screens, and solid teak companionway drop boards. To oil lamps supplement the 12 volt lighting. The port and starboard overhead, teak handholds and cruising interior make movement below decks safe and secure in a seaway.
•  The L-shaped galley to port has storage galore – three galley-top drawers; a large staples locker with sliding-panel front; a molded teak dish rack; a 20” deep stainless steel sink with fresh water foot pump, a 5 cu. ft. insulated ice box with movable shelf, a main storage cabinet; a Galley Maid gimbaled, three-burner alcohol stove with oven.
• The slide-out, aft facing navigation station is to starboard at the end of the settee. A very large navigation stores locker is outboard to starboard.
