I would welcome any views on the suitability/performance of the Bruce King 41' design as translated into 'Unicorn' and 'Warm Rain', for blue water cruising including heavy weather. Cas (Australia):)

I just got a bruce anchor and wonder how well they work. Would love to hear you think about these strange looking anchors.

Hi all-- I am considering the purchasing an E-34 (1989 Bruce King design) but before making the plunge thought I would seek some advice from this group. I have a couple of concerns/questions: 1) Is the E-34 adequately powered with the Universal 24 HP diesel given its the 13,000 lb...

It was a great 2 weeks on the water. There was only one unpleasant event and in retrospect even that was worth going through since we came out alive at the other end :) We left Cat harbor on the Pacific side of Catalina Island to head down to one of our favorite destinations; Santa Barbara...

Not exactly a sailboat, but rather a 151 foot motor yacht Sycara IV. http://www.ybw.com/ibinews/newsdesk/20090721154638ibinews.html No mention of cost....but if you have to ask.......

Will a Claw or Bruce 33 lb anchor fit on the bow roller of an E-32-3 or PS/E-333?

Just saw the ad for a E-41 under for sale, very nice looking rig!! Reading the ad on the owners site, it made comment that " Designed by Bruce King -- Hinckly's lead designer -- and solidly built of fiberglass by Ericson Yachts." Bruce was Hinckley's lead designer? Didn't know that, but if...

We had cocktails and dinner with Bruce King and his family this weekend. It was very interesting speaking with him about his designs and his experiences with Ericson. We also sailed by his hand made boat "Frog Princess" in the Ericson regatta. It is a lovely wooden boat that I believe was...

The boat has a couple of undersized danforth-like anchors. I think they are 8 and 12 lbs and the 12 pounder has maybe 10 feet of chain. These two anchors may be fine for an afternoon but I wouldn't want to depend on them overnight. For Southern California conditions a Bruce appears to be the...

I have a 1978 ericson 34t. It is a Bruce King design, originally condeived as a 41 foot racer, and later market driven changes resulted in the 34' t (trunk cabin cruiser) and, I think, a 34' flush deck racer- so I've heard. Actual facts about this design have been difficult to find. I'm...

I've been looking at the Ericson 23 as a good starter boat for my small family. Primarily I've been looking at mid-seventy models but recently saw a 1969 that had design similarities to those mid-seventies by Bruce King. Does anyone know when he started designing the 23s and if he was not...
