The Ericson 30+ (often written as the 30 Plus) represents a refined era of Bruce King’s design philosophy, introduced in 1979 as a successor to the earlier Ericson 30-2. Produced in Santa Ana, California, until approximately 1986, the vessel was marketed as a high-quality performance cruiser that balanced the requirements of club racing with the creature comforts of coastal cruising. Unlike its predecessor, the 30+ was engineered with a more sophisticated internal structure and an updated hull form featuring a finer entry and a flatter run aft. This model remains a stalwart of the used boat market because it was built during a period when Ericson Yachts utilized the Tri-Axial Force Grid (TAFG), a massive fiberglass floor timber system that distributed rig and keel loads throughout the hull, a feature detailed in the Ericson 30+ Owner's Manual.
