Ericson 35's whats the difference

[sailinggiant]

35 vs mk 2, and i also believe thers a mark 3, whats the difference? looking to cruise and club race.

Three good choices...

Generally speaking...
There's the 60's version, the Mk 1.
The 70's brought an all new design, the Mk 2.
The 80's saw a whole new redesign, the Mk 3.

I did a very quick search here and one the web for photos.

Not a homely one in the lot!

I've always preferred the look of the stern of the 35-3 over the 35-2. Something about it looks more "classic" to me.

If I could afford to move up, I think I would go to the 35-3 or a 38...unless I could afford a Pacific Seacraft cutter or ketch...

From a performance standpoint, the speed of each boat increase with each new model. The Mk1(of Alberg design) was definitely more of a cruising boat. The MKII(Bruce King) was more of a racer-cruiser that is still successful matched up against newer designs. The MKIII(Bruce King) is the most modern of the three designs with a huge interior layout(for a 35) and a very fast under-body that goes to weather as good as any R/C boat.

Yes, but the E35II's derriere features an excellent wide aspect billboard for CinemaScope graphics.
