1971 Ericson 39 Flush Deck

San Diego, California

$79,500

39' Ericson 39 Flush Deck '71 "Traveler"

The Ericson 39, designed by Bruce King was a very successful IOR racer in its day but built stiff and strong by Ericson Yachts with a nicely finished mahogany interior to appeal to the serious racer-cruiser.

The current owner of 22 years has meticulously upgraded her and turned her into an ideal performance cruiser for short-handed sailing.

The attention to detail is superb and can only be appreciated by a personal inspection.
