32' 1987 Ericson MkIII

$32,000.00

Last Updated: 2025-04-29

ORION is a very nice example of this classic Bruce King design. She is well maintained with numerous upgrades and she is ready to enjoy immediately. She was hauled and painted recently and her engine was fully serviced. She is fresh and clean throughout.

Bruce King's considerable experience designing sailboats in the 30-foot range shows through in the sailing qualities, accommodations, and construction of the Ericson 32 MKIII.

A keel-stepped, black, anodized mast, tapered at the top to reduce weight and windage, supports the double-spreader masthead rig. The 207-square-foot mainsail drives the boat well in both cruising and racing modes. The boat is well balanced and sails both on and off the wind smartly under headsail only, making it easy to single hand, especially with her roller furling.

The Ericson 32 MkIII meets or exceeds the highest standards of construction, predictable handling, and sensible layout with which Ericson established its reputation. It ghosts along nicely in light breezes and, handles well. With prudent reefing, she will stand up to heavy weather.
