The E+A 40, shorthand for Ericson & Associates 40, is a quintessential example of the "Performance Cruiser" philosophy that dominated the early 1970s. Designed by the prolific Bruce King, the vessel was conceived as a premium, semi-custom evolution of the highly successful Ericson 39 hull. While the standard Ericson 39 featured a traditional trunk cabin, the E+A 40 was distinguished by its striking flush deck profile and an interior finished to a significantly higher standard, often intended for owners who split their time between the racecourse and long-distance coastal cruising. Today, it remains a "cult classic" among offshore enthusiasts who value the structural integrity and aesthetic purity of Bruce King’s early IOR-influenced designs.
