Ready for some fun? This 38 foot beauty is!
Y’all this 1983 Ericson 38 is a cruiser but doesn’t lack performance either as she handles and maneuvers very respectably. Her deck is well laid out making her easy to move about on. Her rigging shroud placements allow for easy passage fore and aft.
The cockpit area is suitably sized with rear bench seating, GPS, and bimini to keep you out of the sun. There is also a swim ladder aft.
The Ericson’s interior features include a galley with sink, stovetop, oven, dinette table, cushioned bench seating, settee, a forward V-berth, aft berth and more.
She also has two house batteries, charger, inverter and one starter battery, bilge pumps and all the electronics needed for you to set sail.
The head compartment is roomy with a sink, toilet, all the expected amenities and separate shower.
This Ericson Sloop / Cruiser is powered by a 4 cylinder, 32 HP, freshwater cooled, Universal diesel with approximately 2100 hours on it providing plenty of horsepower for the 38’s 15000 lb displacement. The engine has been maintained, the owner confirms.
Y’all this is a great boat and ready for adventure. Get that offer in today!
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
DRAFT:
Wing Keel = 5’/1.52m
Shoal Draft = 4.92’/1.5m
Deep keel= 6.5’/1.98m
The ERICSON 38-200 was introduced in 1986? which shared the same hull but with new deck, coach roof and interior.
