1986 Ericson 38-200
Hi All,
I found a 38-200 that I really like and am considering purchasing. My only hesitation is that it doesn't have a windlass. I live in Oxnard (the boat is now in San Diego) and would like to be able to anchor out at the islands but without the amount of chain that would generally require a windlass I'm not sure that anchoring is a practical possibility. I've read a couple of threads where people have built larger anchor lockers. I would rather not have to do any major modifications. Just wondering what other folks with Ericsons do in this area. Thanks!!
