The Ericson 34, specifically the model introduced in 1987, stands as a quintessential example of Bruce King’s ability to blend contemporary performance with traditional maritime aesthetics. Following the success of the Ericson 323 and the Ericson 38, the 34 was designed to provide a midsized alternative that captured the sailing characteristics of a racing hull while offering the amenities required for extended coastal cruising. The boat's pedigree is further bolstered by its transition in the early 1990s; when Ericson Yachts ceased operations, the 34 was one of the select few designs acquired and produced by Pacific Seacraft, a builder renowned for worldclass offshore construction standards. This transition ensured that the 34 remained in production through 1996, cementing its status as a soughtafter vessel on the brokerage market for those seeking a balance of speed and durability.
