The Ericson 28, particularly the iterations produced during the 1980s under the design influence of Bruce King, represents a pivotal era in the evolution of the American performance cruiser. Produced by Ericson Yachts in Southern California, this model was designed to bridge the gap between a nimble club racer and a legitimate coastal cruiser. While several versions of the 28foot hull exist in the Ericson lineage—including the original 1970s "flushdeck" model—the most soughtafter variants are the Ericson 28+ (produced from 1980 to 1984) and the definitive Ericson 282 (produced from 1985 to 1990). These vessels were built during a period when Ericson was refining its "TriAxial Force Grid" (TAFG) system, a structural innovation that distributed rig and keel loads throughout the hull more efficiently than traditional stringer systems.
