Ericson 46
2 / 17 - score 55%
The Ericson 46 is a 45.83ft masthead sloop designed by Bruce King and built in fiberglass by Ericson Yachts (USA) between 1971 and 1974.
20 units have been built.
The Ericson 46 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
