For Sale 1986 Ericson 38’ Shoal Draft

(Planning to move to bigger sail boat, - a tough decision to sell. Nb. More than 10k spent over the last 2 years in upgrades)

VESSEL SUMMARY

Make: Model: Boat Name: Length: Year: Location:
Ericson 38-200, Merrimist 38’ (12m) 1986, Bermuda.

DESCRIPTION
Merrimist is an exceptionally well built suitably equipped performance cruising sailboat capable of fast safe offshore passages in a wide range of conditions. Her innovative cabin, layout, and systems are optimized for shorthanded offshore cruising in comfort and safety. Nearly every system has been replaced, installed new, or upgraded between 2016 and today making Merrimist one of the best value for money in her range.
Examples of Merrimist’s quality construction include a solid hull reinforced and strengthened by a “triaxial force grid”of stringers, a deck to hull joint that is completely bonded and glassed, and all bulkheads and cabinets are glassed to the hull. The deck is solid fiberglass in areas of high stress and the rest is balsa cored for light weight and durability. Ericson 38-200s were considered premium yachts in their day and it shows in the details of her construction and layout.
The mast and boom are constructed by LeFiell, a Southern California company with 20 years of experience constructing spars and close ties to the aerospace industry. The mast, a tapered aluminum section equipped with double spreaders, is coated with linear polyurethane paint, as are many spars today because of costly environmental restrictions on anodizing. The headstay is 5/16"; the upper shrouds and backstay are 9/32"; the lowers 1/4" and intermediate shrouds 7/32".
The J dimension measures a big 16.25', which reflects the anticipated use of overlapping jibs.
The mast is keel stepped on the Tri-Axial Force Grid (see “Construction”), and has internal main and jib halyards and spare sheaves for spinnaker halyards.
The aluminum boom is equipped with vang bales, and also has internal sheaves for two sets of reefing lines as well as an internal adjustment for the topping lift. The outhaul, also inside the boom, has a 4:1 purchase for easy adjustment.
The shrouds are connected to a Navtec chainplate system; a stainless steel mast collar provides leads for control lines led aft.

Merrimist’s engine and systems have been expertly maintained to professional standards by her current owner, Anthony, 30+years marine engineer and AYC sailing instructor.
Merrimist is “turnkey” ready to live aboard, day/weekends or sail with family/friends, both socially on a weekend for fun raft ups, Wed nights summer series racing round the cans, or sail off to further adventures Caribbean and/or round around the world.
Whatever your desire, Merrimist is capable and will not disappoint.
Merrimist was valued at $47,000 USD in her most recent survey prior to approx 10k in upgrades over the last 30 months.

NOTE: Merrimist is now Bermuda flagged vessel that has been “imported” into Bermuda meaning all import taxes have been paid and she can remain in the country indefinitely rather than having to leave every 3 months like visiting yachts! You can take your time exploring the many islands of Bermuda or continue exploring the Atlantic jewel - Bermuda, at your leisure, or much further afield if you choose.
