The Ericson 36 C (the "C" standing for Cruising) represents a purposeful departure from the performance-first racing yachts that defined much of Bruce King’s early portfolio. Introduced in the mid-1970s, this model was designed as a heavy-displacement, full-keel offshore cruiser, intended for sailors prioritizing sea-kindliness and long-term liveability over regatta trophies. While many Ericson models of this era leaned toward the IOR (International Offshore Rule) racing aesthetic, the 36 C adopted a traditionalist profile, complete with a clipper bow, a substantial bowsprit, and a cutter rig. It was built during the peak of Ericson’s Santa Ana production period, benefiting from the robust fiberglass layups that have allowed many of these vessels to remain in active service today.
