I love this boat! First reef is needed at 15-16 knots windspeed, second above 18 knots. Nicely balanced helm, especially with the new set of sails made in Falmouth, Maine by sailmaker Richard Hallet. She is currently docked in Portsmouth New Hampshire.

Saw your boat on SL, and thought your boat is beautiful and perfect for me as I am looking hard to find an Ericson 32 to 35 range from Pittsburgh/Erie, PA. Unfortunately too far to travel just to take a look and also a little out of my price range. Good luck!

if it had been in Italy I would have made a thought. Either way nice boat. Regards. Xavier

Clean and well equipped. Built out by PSC. And, better yet and unlike the older PSC boats, engine is a Yanmar.

Yup. She’s a sweet boat. We’ve made a steady 7.2 knots with the spinnaker up!

The asking price is $65,000. Not sure how to add this to the original post. It was interesting that the weather-helm resolved when I purchased a new mainsail. Having the center of effort a few feet forward made a huge difference how she sailed. With the traveller to leeward and a tight leach she really moves nicely upwind, accelerating between waves.

I appreciate what you have done and what you have.
Your boat pix show a real "turn key boat" and are a delight!

For the asking price, even with shipping added in to the NW, I could have bought your boat a year ago rather than investing in a full refit in our boat. I love the result I have achieved - and luckily the Admiral is super pleased as well, but it would have been less expensive (!) to buy your Ericson.
We have a photo somewhere of our boat, headed up the WA coast with very similar jack line rigged and spare diesel lashed to the lifeline, same position. #6 is a great shot! Ericson's were built to go places!

I (and my budget) know personally that your price is waaaay more than fair, altho newbies to big-boat ownership will need some educating; often they have no idea what a good boat costs and even less of an idea what is required to maintain one.
(the whole topic/concept is a recurring theme on our Forums, as you may have noticed.)
Best Wishes in your next life phase.
