The Ericson 30-2, frequently marketed as the Ericson 30 Plus, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the California-based builder. Launched in the late 1970s as a replacement for the aging 1960s-era Ericson 30, this Bruce King design was tasked with bridging the gap between a competitive club racer and a comfortable family cruiser. While many contemporary designs of the late 1970s prioritized the burgeoning IOR (International Offshore Rule) rating system—often resulting in "pinched" sterns and quirky handling—King opted for a more balanced, wholesome hull form. This decision ensured the 30-2 remained relevant long after the racing rules changed, cementing its status as a sought-after vessel on the secondary market. The model is distinct from the earlier "Classic 30" and the later Ericson 30-3 (or 31), characterized by its taller rig and the introduction of more sophisticated structural engineering.
