1988 Ericson 38-200 for sale in Queensland, Australia
Start your cruise on the beautiful east coast of Australia. The third owners of this beautiful Ericson 38-200 have reluctantly concluded that it is time to end our sailing adventures for now. We have owned her since 2002, and have cruised her extensively in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Mexico, French Polynesia, Tonga, and Fiji. A few highlights of the work we have done along the way:
2014 - new standing rigging, Lofrans windlass completely overhauled
2013 – new Raritan PHII head
2012 - new Lewmar forward and main hatches, new lifelines and steering cables
2011 – full boat covers (extend to top lifeline), white Sunbrella
2010 – Honda EU-2000 portable 2kw generator.
2009 - Icom M802 SSB, Hydrovane self-steering system, 55-lb Rocna anchor, 200 feet of 5/16” high test chain, hard bimini topped with 130w of solar panels.
2008 - re-powered with a new Universal M35B and transmission in 2008 (now has about 1000 hours); 3-blade Max-Prop.
2007 – Avon Riblite dinghy, Yamaha 8hp outboard, standing rigging, masthead sheaves, halyards, mainsail, and dodger.
2003 – JRC color radar/chartplotter, ACR GPIRB (new battery in 2011), Viking 4-man double-floor liferaft (repacked 2009)
Previous owner also installed some very nice upgrades, such as a Lofrans windlass, and an electric halyard winch on the starboard cabin top. Other equipment includes Adler-Barbour 12v refrigeration (overhauled in 2012), pressure water, 3-burner propane stove with oven, VHF, two depthsounders, one with forward-scanning sonar. Full-batten double-reef main (Banks, 2007) is very good, 140% genoa (Halsey-Lidgard) is serviceable, 80% jib (Doyle) is like new, 1 oz cruising spinnaker (North) with sock is very good.
Two 65cf galvanized dive tanks included
55gal aluminum fuel tank (cleaned and spot welded in 2008); 80gal fresh water in 3 plastic tanks (bleached and rinsed at the end of every season).
