Step aboard this well-maintained 1981 Ericson 38 SL and experience the perfect blend of classic design, solid craftsmanship, and exhilarating sailing performance. Designed by Bruce King, the Ericson 38 SL is a rare gem--a true cruiser-racer that delivers comfort, speed, and enduring style in one finely balanced package.
This particular vessel is in good condition and ready to sail. At 38 feet in length with a 12-foot beam and a 60 shoal-draft keel, she offers a stable yet responsive ride, ideal for everything from weekend getaways to spirited club racing. Her graceful lines and strong fiberglass hull are complemented by a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spar and stainless standing rigging, giving her both the look and function of a capable offshore boat.
Below deck, the Ericson 38 SL offers a spacious and intelligently designed interior that makes extended cruising a pleasure. Forward is a private V-berth cabin with ample storage and ventilation. Just aft to port is a large head with marine toilet, sink, and shower, easily accessible both underway and at anchor. The main salon features a warm and welcoming layout with a U-shaped dinette to starboard that converts into a double berth, and a long settee to port that can also serve as a single berth. The salon is well-lit and ventilated, with classic teak joinery and soft cabin lighting creating a cozy atmosphere.
The galley is aft to starboard and fully equipped for serious cruising, featuring a gimbaled propane stove and oven, refrigeration, stainless steel sink, and generous storage in lockers and drawers. Opposite the galley, to port, is a dedicated nav station with seating, chart table, and space for instruments and communication equipment. A large quarter berth extends aft from the nav station, offering a secure and comfortable sleeping area while underway or at anchor.
With amenities including air conditioning, a watermaker, and 555 watts of solar power, this Ericson is comfortable as well as capable.
On deck, the cockpit is spacious and protected, with a sturdy dodger and bimini for comfort in all conditions. wheel steering provides excellent feedback under sail, while the deck layout ensures all lines are within easy reach for single-handed or short-handed sailing. The boat is equipped with a reliable inboard Universal model 5432 32HP diesel engine, which is well-maintained and ready for dependable motoring when needed.
This Ericson 38 SL has been lovingly cared for and regularly sailed. The hull is solid, the standing rigging was new in 20121, and the sails--mainsail, and furling jib--were new in 2018.
Additional features include a VHF radio, radar, multifunction display, GPS/Chartplotter, and autopilot.
If you're looking for a performance-oriented cruising sailboat with a classic pedigree and a layout that supports both comfort and capability, this Ericson 38 SL deserves your attention.
Sail away on a boat that still turns heads--this Ericson 38 SL is ready for her next adventure.
