The Ericson 380 is a performance-oriented bluewater cruiser designed by Bruce King and built by Pacific Seacraft from 1991 to 1998, after that company acquired the molds from the defunct Ericson Yachts. Pacific Seacraft produced 114 examples with their characteristic attention to quality and fit-out, upgrading the hull with a masthead sloop rig featuring aluminum spars and a fully battened mainsail. At 37.83 feet LOA with a beam of 12 feet, she is a lively performer with a sail area/displacement ratio of 18.25, suitable for both coastal cruising and offshore passages. The Ericson 380 is regarded as one of the better-finished mid-sized cruising sloops of the 1990s, combining an easily driven hull with a comfortable interior and robust construction.
