The Ericson 39 stands as a definitive representation of the "Golden Age" of fiberglass boatbuilding, merging the aesthetic brilliance of naval architect Bruce King with the robust construction standards of the 1970s. Introduced in 1970, the vessel was designed during the height of the International Offshore Rule (IOR) era, yet it avoided many of the extreme distortions that plagued later IOR designs, resulting in a hull that remains both seaworthy and visually striking. The model was produced in two primary configurations: the original flushdeck version, which offered a sleek, raceoriented profile and a massive interior volume, and the Ericson 39B, which featured a traditional trunk cabin to provide better visibility and ventilation for dedicated cruisers.
