We've had many fun adventures on this sailboat throughout Florida and the Caribbean, but the time has come for our family to upgrade to a bigger boat, so we are offering for auction our beloved 1971 Ericson 29' sailboat. She is a classic 70's, well-built, solid thick fiberglass, Bruce King design, tough, sweet-sailing Ericson 29' Sloop. She is well maintained, fully equipped, interior restored, sleeps 5, and ready to set sail today! We are constantly getting compliments on this boat -- everyone knows that Ericson boats sail well and were built to last. Currently located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
