1977 Ericson 36 C

This 1977 Ericson 36 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat with a 12-foot beam and a 35-horsepower Westerbeke diesel engine. The design is notable for its flush deck and spacious interior layout relative to the boat's size. The hull is known for handling qualities including responsive steering, a large stern-hung rudder, and a keeled design that enables tight turning and controlled prop-walk characteristics in reverse.

Below deck, the boat features an aft cabin with private head access and sleeping berths for two. The galley and head have been modified and updated. The interior includes custom cabinetry and new cushioning and foam bedding. The large cockpit serves as a primary living space and is fitted with an oversized dodger and full weather curtains. An offset companionway provides clear sightlines from the helm through the dodger opening.

The boat has been substantially upgraded and maintained over many years. A complete rewiring was performed with new panels, batteries, charger/inverter, and instruments installed throughout. The standing rigging has been replaced. Recent work includes engine maintenance, brightwork renewal, and bottom work. The deck is reported to have no soft spots. Deck fittings have been inspected and maintained. The 3-cylinder Westerbeke engine has full access and straightforward servicing. Additional systems include a water maker, solar panels, AIS, radar, wind instruments, and a fuel polishing system with dual filters. A custom davit system is mounted on deck. Ground tackle and fuel tanks have been updated, and the cockpit includes a shower and dedicated propane locker.
