The Ericson 27 stands as one of the most successful production sailboats of the 1970s, with over 1,200 hulls launched between 1971 and 1979. Designed by the prolific Bruce King, this vessel was a cornerstone of the Ericson Yachts lineup, positioned as a robust "pocket cruiser" that offered more interior volume and stability than many of its contemporaries. While many 27-footers of that era were designed with a primary focus on the International Offshore Rule (IOR) racing standards, King prioritized a balance of cruising comfort and predictable handling. The result was a boat that appealed to young families and coastal cruisers, characterized by its remarkably wide nine-foot beam and a sturdy displacement of approximately 6,600 pounds.
