1972 Ericson 32 sailboat (sloop)

Discover the charm and performance of this classic 1972 Ericson 32, designed by Bruce King. “Zealous” is a very well-maintained 32-foot sloop featuring a solid fiberglass hull, spacious deck, and inviting interior with rich wood finishes. Below deck, enjoy a comfortable V-berth, a roomy main salon, a practical head compartment, an alcohol stove and ice box for beverages. Renowned for its sailing capabilities, Zealous comes with a reliable and economical diesel engine, and a full sail plan. Perfect for both day sails and extended cruising, Zealous offers a timeless sailing experience as she surges through the water with a hull speed of 7 knots, regardless of the waves height or direction. The perfect pocket cruiser with room to live a board. Set up for single handed sailing.
After purchasing this boat in 2010 as a retirement project, I spent the first two years meticulously restoring Zealous: Bottom paint, topside paint, interior paint and wood refinishing, new head, new stereo with bluetooth and speakers, removable cockpit table (see pics) perfect for party cruising, multiple seating cushions, pilots cushion allows sight over dodger, diode installation to protect alternator, cabin decor enhancements, diesel injection overhaul, water pump upgrade, “Boom Kicker” (eliminates topping lift,) new cockpit canvas, new dodger with perfect poly windows (no scratches or fogging), new mainsail stacker from Doyle Sails (mainsail up and down in seconds), new bottom paint and cutlass bearing Fall 2023.

Zealous is moored in Oakland at the North Marina in a downwind berth since 2010. Berth length is 28. Overhang is allowed. Saves in berth fees. I am pricing Zealous at the same price I paid for her in 2010 plus inflation and not including all upgrades. Low ballers don’t waste our time.
