Ericson

The classic Bruce King-designed Ericson 32 was originally launched in 1967, and the Owner's Group web site notes, "The boat sported many interesting innovations--for example, an internally-ballasted lead (not iron) keel which is an integral part of the hull. With a spade rudder, deck-mounted mast and a double-spreader rig, in many ways she was years ahead of her time, and even by today's standards, the 32 in any of her flavors is a nicely appointed and solidly built but reasonably nimble cruiser with handsome lines."
The next iteration in the boats design was launched in 1985 and incorporated Ericson's Tri-Axial Force Grid and a more traditional keel-stepped mast. They were also built with Ericson's typical attention to detail and nicely appointed, and this particular boat is a very nice two-owner example of the design. Never cruised and just detailed, Antares shows very nicely and is a must-see vessel for anyone in the market for a classic Ericson.
Bruce King is still actively designing yachts, by the way--not long ago, he designed a 154' sailboat which was the largest sailing yacht then under construction in the U.S., and may be the largest cold-molded boat ever built.
