Seller's Description
Blue water Cruiser racer Ericson 39 restored, refitted for cruising, FAST blue water sailboat ! …here is a short review by Sailing magazine:
Designed by Bruce King, and introduced in 1970, the 39 was a serious racer-cruiser in its day. With its flush deck, powerful sloop rig and nicely finished mahogany interior, it was sexy and expensive. Ericson was on top of its game in the 1970s. Today, the Ericson 39 may not be perceived as sexy, but it can certainly still be a serious boat and it is anything but expensive. A quick glance at the seven boats listed online shows prices ranging from a high of $74,000 for a fully restored Ericson 39, to $24,900 for a 1973 version in need of upgrading….pl google for full reviews !!
The boat has been entirely redone !! …New Westerbeek 35HP diesel engine, new shaft and prop , newer sails , interior , rigging, anchors, electronics , 3 water tanks , new head, Solar and Wind Power , HART inverttor/charger , autopilot , radar , chart plotter , full cabin like dodger/cockpit roof for excellent protection, bulletproof hull , refrigeration, stove , ..so on ..and above all FAST, STABLE and SAFE !!!…
Hard Bottom Hypalon Dinghy and, INCLUDED!…Of course with dinghy davits installed!!…electric Windlass with new 4G High Tensile 3/8 chain, several Anchors …Brand new as we speak Interlux Micron SC ($250/gal) bottom paint and 4 new gel batteries for solar power, 400 Amps! This beauty is on the hard ready for inspection in Riverside marina, Fort Pierce!!
Also very low price due to major change of planes …for sale by owner !!…asking $28,000 / OBO, which is less than we spent to refit only!
Please only serious buyers with cash ready Calls only, 8five8 951-5941
Thank You!!

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
7.6 kn
Classic: 7.34 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.6
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
50.0
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
314.6
300-400: heavy
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
35.2
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.7
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
A more cruising oriented version with a trunk cabin was called the ERICSON 39 B.
Shorter rig:
I(IG): 50.00’ / 15.24m
J: 16.50’ / 5.03m
P: 44.00’ / 13.41m
E: 14.00’ / 4.27m
