Hi all,

New to the forum and Ericson's. I do my sailing mostly in San Francisco Bay but also in the San Juan's through Club Natique and a charter company out of Bellingham.
I have been looking for a great bay boat and have looked at almost every make of boat. I have recently discovered Ericson's and after some good research looked at a 38-200 and a 35 Mk3. The 38 has good bones but has been neglected for the last couple of years and the 35 is exceptional. Both have fairly new engines and standing rigging.

I have attached the links:

I prefer a 38 but after spending some time on both it appears to me the forward berth in the 35 is the same size or even a little larger as the 38. Is this my imagination or is this correct?

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
