1989 Ericson 38-200 Sold Boat in Newport, RI US

The Ericson 38-200 is one of those vessels that will always turn up in far flung, not easily reached, cruising grounds. They enjoy a reputation for toughness and yet have an uncanny turn of speed, especially for a cruising boat designed for the 80's. None of these attributes come as a surprise to their owners, who tend to cherish these fine boats for many years and infrequently come on the market.

This particular one, ARETE, encountered the typical Ericson owner, full of enthusiasm and knowledge, not to only keep her in excellent shape, but progressively go through her older systems and refit them as needed, while simultaneously refreshing the interior.

ARETE, is the winged keel version of this boat, which allows her to get into most areas boats of her size would struggle to do. Additionally, with the unique internal tri axial grid structure these boats where built with, make this boat stiff enough to carry ample canvas and withstand a beating when sailing in tough weather.

ARETE is currently afloat for a short while longer, prior to being hauled for winter storage. Kindly contact the broker for further information and to schedule a viewing.
