***SALE PENDING*** Esteemed Bruce King designed, this 1983 Ericson 35-3 is a classic example of 80's yacht craftmanship, known for speed and performance. New upgrades!
Introducing the 1983 Ericson 35-3, a captivating sailboat with a storied legacy and a penchant for swift sailing. Designed by the esteemed Bruce King, this classic vessel is a testament to 1980s yacht craftsmanship, known for its impressive speed to windward. This particular model stands out with a consistently maintained and upgraded profile, making it an ideal choice for sailors seeking both performance and comfort.
Step aboard and experience the thrill of sailing with a carefully curated sail inventory, featuring two jibs, including a 120 Genoa, and an additional mainsail, providing versatility in various sailing conditions. Beyond its exceptional sailing capabilities, She boasts a sturdy construction, with a robust fiberglass hull and a mast securely fastened directly to the keel, making it well-suited for blue water travel.
Inside, the cabin exudes timeless charm with its solid teak appointments, while the thoughtful layout includes a separate shower in the head and a fully equipped galley featuring a 3-burner "Force 10" gimballed stove.
The accommodations are designed for comfort, with the V-berth offering spacious sleeping quarters and a solid teak door ensuring privacy from the main cabin. Though technically capable of sleeping six with the settee table lowered, She is better suited for two couples or a small family.
Recent upgrades and improvements enhance the overall appeal of this vessel.

Additional enhancements in subsequent years include new Plexiglass in portlights and hatches and state-of-the-art Navionics installed in 2021, ensuring She is equipped with the latest technology for seamless navigation.
A new stainless steel Navionics tower, B&G Vulcan chart plotter, Bluetooth wind package, Triton integrated display, radar dish, and Raymarine P90 wheel pilot further exemplify the commitment to modern functionality.
The sailboat received a cooling system upgrade with a Westerbeke freshwater pump, a new Wi-Fi receiver for high-speed internet access, and plumbing improvements, including a rebuilt emergency manual bilge pump and a new galley faucet. In July 2023, a thorough inspection, new bottom paint, and a three-battery system completed the package, ensuring She is not only seaworthy but ready for new horizons.
