For Sale: 1987 Ericson 38-200 Cruising Sailboat,
Designed by Bruce King as a Performance Cruiser
The boat has just undergone an extensive refit, but change in life plans force sale. You can either buy a similar classic boat and spend months and tens of thousands of dollars in a boatyard as we did, buy a newer but inferior boat for a lot more money, or buy this cruise-ready classic. I have receipts, pictures, and invoices for the work that has been completed!
