Ericson 28 Mkii
Description
The Ericson 28-2 is a cruiser-racer sailboat designed by Bruce King and built by Ericson Yachts (USA) during 1984-1989, an evolution of the Ericson 28 series with refined features for coastal cruising and club racing. Known for its solid construction, balanced performance, and comfortable accommodations, it’s a popular choice among sailors seeking a versatile, compact vessel. The Ericson 28-2 is a refined version of the Ericson 28 series, introduced as the “plus” or “28-2” model with updates like the T-cockpit and improved interior layout. It was part of Ericson’s successful 1980s lineup, competing with boats like the Catalina 27 and Pearson 28.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
