38' Ericson 38

If you are looking for a cruise ready sailboat to head south that won't break you bank account this is the boat!

TALA has been extensively refitted of the last 5 years by a very knowledgeable boater then her current owner cruised with her for nearly two years making even further improvements. With over $65k spent overall on setting her up for extended cruising (see complete list of equipment)!

She sails fast and has a sea kindly motion and should provide many more years of enjoyable sailing and cruising.

This highly desirable Bruce King designed Ericson 38 features a gunk hole friendly 4'11" shoal draft keel. Designed as a high performance cruiser, the Ericson 38 radiates a feeling of sleek, graceful motion. The rig is tall, but is ICW friendly, for excellent speed in light to moderate winds. Areodynamically superior double spreaders also create a narrow shroud base which abets weatherly performance by favoring a tight sheeting angle . Mast, boom, winches, halyards systems and running rigging are configured for short handed sailing.

Unusually spacious layout for a 38 foot cruising boat of this era with exceptional galley size, separate aft quarter cabin and separate shower stall.
