The Ericson 28+ (often referred to as the 28 Plus) represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Ericson Yachts line, marking a departure from the traditional 1970s designs toward the modern, performance-oriented cruisers of the 1980s. Designed by the legendary Bruce King and introduced around 1980, the 28+ was engineered to provide the interior volume of a 30-footer within a hull that remained nimble and competitive under PHRF ratings. Unlike the earlier Ericson 28, which featured a more pinched stern and narrower beam, the 28+ utilized a significantly wider 10' 6" beam and a modern underbody, incorporating King’s signature "Tri-axial Force Grid" (TAFG). This internal structural system, comprised of a molded fiberglass floor timber network, was bonded to the hull to distribute rigging and keel loads, a feature detailed in the original Ericson 28 Plus Brochure.
