The Ericson 31 Independence represents a distinct departure from the performanceoriented racercruisers that typically defined the collaboration between Ericson Yachts and naval architect Bruce King. Introduced in the late 1970s—a period when the "traditional" aesthetic popularized by the Westsail 32 was at its peak—the Independence 31 was designed as a dedicated cruising vessel. It eschews the flat shearlines and fin keels of its siblings in favor of a clipper bow, a decorative trailboard, and a substantial bowsprit. Despite its heavydisplacement appearance, the boat maintains the build integrity and thoughtful engineering that characterized the Santa Ana, California, shipyard during its prime.
