ericson 38

Many of the original Ericson 38 layout boats seem to have a solid fuel stove on the forward starboard bulkhead. What are your experiences with these stoves? How well do they work? Thanks! Dave

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the Ericson 38 "Windfall" that is for sale in Rock Hall, MD. https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1984/ericson-38-3716800/ I am curious about the condition of the boat. I live 400 miles away and am curious if it is worth driving down to see...

Hi Forum, My name is Mike, and I’m new to the Ericson world. I have my eye on a local 1981 E38 that’s being offered for less than $18,000. I’m unsure of the structural integrity at this time, but am going to take a look at the vessel next week. I was was hoping to get your take on whether or...

Hello sailors, I am considering the purchase of an Ericson 38-200 contingent to a survey! Would you please either list here (or direct me to another forum post with) typical Ericson 38-200 (late 1980s vintage) maintenance issues. I'd like to be sure that the surveyor and I are looking in...

33 years ago, I purchased this boat new, with the color scheme of a Landfall 38 (sand colored hull, white cabin, burgundy cove and boot stripes) (Ericson demanded extra deposit for the colors, then used it in an ad, Ericson 38 vs. Landfall 38!). Alas, the yard in Westchester County, NY...

As new owners of and Ericson 38-200 we are planning to replace the existing bow 25 lb Danforth with a new bow anchor for our trips to the Channel Islands where we stay out for a week or more. The Danforth is rated ok for a 38 footer up to winds of 20 knots. Not enough. We have seen 45 knots out...
