DESCRIPTION:
Life happens and I need to sell my 1986 Ericson 381 sailboat. I purchased this boat to refit, upgrade, and make it into a well-equipped Westcoast sailer, but as stated, life happens.
It is a Bruce King designed racer/cruiser with a theoretical PHRF of ~100, a Comfort Ratio of ~25, has a typical layout for the Ericson 381, and is a Masthead Sloop with a performance fin keel and a spade rudder. The cockpit facilitates easy handling while under way and comfortably accommodating its crew.
BASIC SPECIFICATIONS:
• LOA 37.6’, Beam 12’, Draft 6.5’, Displacement 14,500 lbs, Ballast 6,300 lbs
• Fuel Capacity: 56 gls, Water Capacity: 85 gls, Waste Capacity 21 gls
The boat comes equipped with a Main Sail mounted on a Flying Dutchman system and a head sail (130% Genoa) mounted on a Harken furling system. It features a full dodger and new (2022) Bimini cockpit cover, making the area comfortable in rain/shine. The deck is in a fair to good condition with all fittings and equipment fully operational. There is a folding swim ladder attached to the stern.
The interior cabinetry, woodwork, cabin sole are in good condition overall, except there
is a bit of wood degradation in a few spots along the floorboards next to the head. All
interior cushions are new (2021). Some of the cushions have some minor stains that
will clean off easily. Whereas the boat does not have a cook top/oven, it does have the
attachments for such and is equipped with LPG tank, lines, and connectors. There is
also a 110V microwave oven. It also has a JABSCO pump-style head and holding tank
(~20 gallons). The pump was recently replaced, and the macerator pump was rebuilt in
2021. The boat has pressurized water as well as foot pumps, and the hot water heater
runs both electrically and by the engine heat exchanger.
The boat is equipped with a 4 cylinder 45 HP Perkins 4.107M Diesel engine in excellent
working order. Engine hours are unknown, but this engine has little to nw-by
indicating sound piston ring and valve condition. It starts right up even after sitting
dormant for several months. The alternator was rebuilt in 2021, and a new starter
motor was installed in 2024.
The boat is equipped with a fully functional CPT Autopilot system. Wiring continuity
interrupted during (2022) rudder repair and needs to be reconnected. During a haul-out
for rudder repair (2022) bottom was inspected (no blisters) and was repainted. Bottom
is cleaned and inspected monthly, and all zincs are replaced as required. Keel bolts
were retorqued (2021) and no hull/keel separation was observed during (2022) haul
out.
