The Ericson 31 Independence represents a deliberate departure from the performanceoriented, finkeel cruisers that defined Bruce King’s prolific career with Ericson Yachts. Introduced in the late 1970s, the Independence 31 was designed for the traditionalist—a "character boat" that prioritized seaworthiness, heavyweather stability, and classic aesthetics over modern racing metrics. With its distinctive clipper bow, sweeping trailboards, and robust cutter rig, it evokes an era of bluewater voyaging that stands in stark contrast to the flatterbottomed Ericson 32s and 35s of the same period.
