In the mid1960s, the fiberglass boatbuilding revolution was sweeping across Southern California, fueled by a competitive spirit and a desire to democratize highperformance sailing. Amidst this backdrop, Ericson Yachts emerged in Costa Mesa, founded by former Columbia Yachts employees who utilized an eclectic approach to their early fleet. The company's very first 32foot model—often referred to today as the Ericson 32I or the Scorpion 32—was introduced in 1966. It was a direct sibling of the Columbia Sabre, molded from a wood 5.5 Meter class design. With only about two dozen units built between 1966 and 1967 before being replaced by more conventional, widebeamed cruisers, the original Ericson 32 Scorpion stands as a rare, ultrasleek artifact of Olympicpedigree sailing history.
