The name of that E-38 is "Bouys of Oz". Here's the listing. Too bad it has a wheel. Did E-38's ever come with tillers?

AFAIK all of the 80's Ericson 38 models had standard wheel steering with provision for emergency tiller. (You could convert to tiller but would need to remove all the wheel stuff and guard parts.)
Funny bit of trivia: there was a nice blog on the Catalina 42 site a few years ago about an owner that replaced the wheel with a custom ss tiller, and took off for an extended blue water cruise. He was a rigger and boat repair guy and the result looked really good, "like factory".
