Description:

\"QQQQ\" is an excellent example of the highly regarded Ericson 35 MK III sloop. The boat was designed by the famed Bruce King. \"QQQQ\" has the sought-after shoal draft keel. Performance is respectable in this cruiser/racer boat. She carries a PHRF handicap of 141 and a JAM handicap of 152. She has acquitted herself well in occasional club racing. \"QQQQ\" is a good-looking classic boat. The design has stood the test of time. \"QQQQ\" looks are enhanced by the shiny and impeccable white hull surface.

\"QQQQ\" can be singlehanded. All six winches are self-tailing. The boat has an autopilot. The interior is reasonably roomy. This would be a good boat for a family with two children seeking to cruise, day sail, or race in safety and comfort. Air conditioning and an upgraded galley with refrigeration and a newer stove/oven adds to her livability. When the wind dies, she is well powered with a 35 HP Universal diesel. This provides more power and speed than many Ericson 35s have.

She has been steadily and professionally upgraded and maintained by the current owners, who are knowledgeable and skilled sailors. The electronics, stereo, and drive train have received improvements over recent years.

\"QQQQ\" has proven herself on the Great Lakes. She would be at home in New England, the Chesapeake, Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Bahamas. This boat is well-loved and has been well cared for by the husband and wife who have sailed her for years. They have purchased a larger sailboat and reluctantly have decided sell \"QQQQ\". The boat is in her slip at Edgewater Yacht Club in Cleveland, Ohio. \"QQQQ\" is available for inspection and a test sail by serious potential buyers.
