“Allegro” is a 1988 Ericson 32-200, a capable Bruce King-designed performance cruiser with the balance of sailing ability, build quality, and interior comfort that has made Ericson's so well regarded among sailors. Located at Shilshole Bay Marina in Seattle, Allegro represents an approachable entry into Pacific Northwest cruising with a proven hull design, diesel inboard power, comfortable accommodations, and recent service already completed.

This is a well-kept boat that has not been heavily updated, and the price reflects that honestly. For the right buyer, she offers an excellent blank slate: a solid, capable platform ready to enjoy now, with room to personalize and upgrade over time according to your own priorities.

The previous owners sailed Allegro for 24 years before trading her in, a meaningful testament to the model’s long-term usability and appeal.

Design & Sailing Performance

The Ericson 32-200 is one of the later evolutions of Ericson’s 32-foot line, pairing a slippery, efficient hull form with a practical cruising layout. Designed by Bruce King, the 32-200 is known for being light on her feet, responsive under sail, and capable enough for spirited club racing or comfortable coastal cruising.

With a fin keel, spade rudder, keel-stepped mast, and a well-balanced sail plan, Allegro offers the kind of sailing performance that makes these boats enjoyable in Pacific Northwest conditions. The model has a strong reputation for performance among Ericson owners, and the 32-200 carries a favorable PHRF rating for sailors interested in casual racing or simply owning a boat that sails well.

Accommodations & Interior

One of the standout features of the Ericson 32-200 is its surprisingly spacious and modern interior layout. Allegro offers a forward V-berth cabin, private aft stateroom, full head, generous main salon, and functional galley, giving her the feel of a larger boat.

The interior is comfortable for weekend cruising, extended time aboard, or even simple liveaboard use for the right owner. The salon feels open and practical, with good usable space for a 32-foot boat. The upholstery foam and fabric appear to be in new condition, adding to the clean and inviting feel below.

Recent full detailing inside and out helps present the boat well and makes Allegro easier for the next owner to step aboard and begin using.
