Ericson 30+
Description
The Ericson 30 is a classic cruiser-racer sailboat designed by Bruce King and built by Ericson Yachts (USA) between 1966 and 1970, with approximately 150 boats produced. Known for its attractive lines, solid construction, and balanced performance, it was one of the first models from Ericson Yachts, popular for coastal cruising and racing under the Cruising Club of America (CCA) rule. The Ericson 30 helped establish the company’s reputation in the 1960s. It was followed by updated models like the Ericson 30-1, 30-2, and 30+ in the 1970s–1980s, with the original design setting the standard for quality and performance. The + model first appeared in 1979.
