Ericson Yachts 41

1970 Ericson Yachts 41 She is a 1970 Bruce King design hull # 37 Here is what "Cruising World" says about her: "This popular mid-1960s Bruce King design features long ends, low wetted surface, a short waterline and an impressive stability index. The sloop is lean by modern standards, but her easily driven hull shape needn't be put on its ear to sail efficiently - as did a whole generation of thin-waisted racers and cruisers built to the CCA rule. The split-molded hull with an integral keel and encapsulated ballast shows good attention to glasswork detail. The thickness of the laminate and the resin/fiber ratio are more than adequate. Most of the deck is a plywood/glass sandwich. Under sail the Ericson 41 is pure delight. Her ability in 12 knots or less of breeze is significant, and I have found this relatively benign-sounding attribute to be a huge advantage both inshore and offshore. In a blow she behaves well with two reefs and an inner forestaysail. When things get even worse a storm trysail and storm jib are true value added. In such conditions, the boat's unique ability to remain under control, even when roller-coastering down the face of steep waves, is most appreciated.
