Designed by the legendary Bruce King and introduced in 1980, the Ericson 38 is widely regarded as one of the finest balances of performance and cruising comfort from the golden era of Southern California fiberglass boatbuilding. Over its nearly two-decade production run, the model evolved through several significant iterations—including the 381, the 38-200, and the later Pacific Seacraft 380—while maintaining the elegant, "pleasing to the eye" aesthetic that King was famous for. According to editorial reviews in SpinSheet Magazine, the boat remains popular decades after its launch because of its near-perfect proportions and a robust structural grid system that was ahead of its time.
