Ericson 34 Regatta 1997
A fine example of this lesser known brand of yacht. The American built Ericson yachts have quietly been part of the European sailing scene for many years and have a reputation for solid build and good quality fit out. This is a particularly nice yacht which has been lightly cruised and cared for, since new, by her current owner. Complimented by a good equipment specification, this package makes a fine family sailing yacht. Call our offices to arrange a viewing.
