Ericson 25
Description
The Ericson 25 (also known as the Ericson 25 Mark I) is a classic trailerable cruiser-racer designed by Bruce King and built by Ericson Yachts from 1973 to 1978. With around 200–300 hulls produced, it's a staple of the 1970s small-boat era, blending seaworthiness, simplicity, and family-friendly accommodations for coastal cruising or club racing (PHRF ~234). Featuring a masthead sloop rig, solid fiberglass construction, and options for fixed fin keel or keel/centerboard (for shallow drafts and easy trailering), it's forgiving for beginners yet capable in breezes up to 25 knots.
