The Ericson 353, introduced in 1982, stands as one of the most successful realizations of Bruce King’s design philosophy: a marriage of performanceoriented hull lines with a refined, comfortable interior. Often referred to as the Ericson 35 Mark III to distinguish it from its CCAera predecessor, this model was produced during a pivotal era for Ericson Yachts as they moved toward more modern, Europeaninfluenced styling and sophisticated structural engineering. The 353 was a mainstay of the company’s lineup throughout the 1980s, eventually seeing continued limited production under Pacific Seacraft after they acquired the Ericson molds in 1990. It remains a benchmark for the "performance cruiser" category, prized by coastal sailors and offshore cruisers alike for its balanced temperament and enduring build quality.
