The Ericson 29 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem; a raised counter, angled transom; an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 8,500 lb (3,856 kg) and carries 3,900 lb (1,769 kg) of ballast.

A tall rig with mast about 2.0 ft (0.61 m) higher was a factory option for areas with lighter winds.

The boat has a draft of 4.33 ft (1.32 m) with the standard keel.

The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 30 hp (22 kW) gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal).

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin along with a drop-leaf table and one quarter berth aft on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with an ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side.

The design has a hull speed of 6.29 kn (11.65 km/h).
