Pacific Seacraft Ericson Looking for Her Sisters

[Peregrine]

I own PSC 380 Hull #16 and would love to find others that own a PSC Ericson. I have talked to Don Kohlman at Ericson and he said there were about 23 380's built and that most of them made it to the East Coast or Europe. I live in San Diego and would love to hear from any 380 owners.

For all the Ericson lovers, my boat, Peregrine Spirit, is the feature boat in the August issue of Latitudes & Attitudes.

Hope to hear from all you 380 owners.... any in SoCal?

Hull # 22 is "Wild Blue" Previously Itinerant and Bird Baby. Currently sailing the Chesapeake out of Annapolis. The previous owner told me that #22 was the last 380 built, but have recently learned of #24.

Since 22 came without a manual, I have many questions and would appreciate any information available, e.g.

1. Are the 3 water tanks interconnected?
2. How are the lines led aft? - - which sheet is run to which rope clutch or winch on the coach top. I have 1 Harken #16, 2 #32s, and 1 #43 winch mounted on the coach top.
3. Where is the best location to install A/C - - the Chesapeake in July in brutal.
4. Do all 380's list to port, or is it my imagination.

Vince,
Congrats on a nice boat!

I can help with at least 2 of your questions

1). Halyards led aft-the exact layout varied from boat to boat depending on what options were ordered. There is no specific "rule" about what goes where-and it depends to some degree on personal preference.

If you feel it is not right, if you can post a pic of the layout (aft end of cabin top) I might be able to offer some suggestions.

2). Yeah, they do list a bit.

2.5). Tanks-IIRC, on the Pre PSC boats, they were not interconnected and valves were used to select the tank in use. This may or may not have changed with PSC...

Hi Tony,
My hull number is PSE38024F797, which makes her hull 24....

She was commisioned to a client in the UK. after a few years sailing the Falmouth area, she sailed to the Scilly Isles, and then Northwest Spain, Portugal, Cape Verde, and then to the Caribbean- St. Vincent, and finally, Tortola, where I aquired her two months ago.

Our plans are to sail the Virgin Islands for the next two years....

Free Wind PSC E 38 #17 (shipped to Singapore in November 1994, commissioned January 1995) has been moved from Phuket to Ocean Marina near Pattaya 1.5 hours east of Bangkok. Enjoying a 0.944 IRC rating so the boys here have now for 2010 instituted a performance handcap system for the monthly race weekend. They also added more downwind legs to the courses. These Jeaneau and Beneteau guys will do anything to win a race!

I am still the original owner. Have just about replaced everything original but the water heater, winches, steering, gel coat, and Yanmar engine. The boat still looks great and is in good mechanical condition.

Any other PSC e38's out there?
