The Ericson 38-200 represents the pinnacle of Bruce King’s design philosophy for the Santa Ana builder, evolving from the original 1980 Ericson 38 into a refined performance cruiser that dominated the mid-to-late 1980s market. While the original 38 was already a respected club racer and coastal cruiser, the "-200" designation marked a significant shift toward modern interior ergonomics and structural sophistication. This model is most famous for its integration of the Tri-axial Force Grid (TAFG), a massive fiberglass internal framing system bonded to the hull to distribute loads from the rig and keel, a feature Bruce King pioneered to ensure structural rigidity without the weight of traditional heavy scantlings.
