This 1984 Catalina 38 is a Sparkman & Stephens design—a classic performance cruiser built on the merits of a racing pedigree refined for comfortable cruising. Fewer than 400 of these hulls were produced, making them relatively scarce. The distinctive tumblehome design enhances both stability and strength, while the balanced helm, generous sail plan, and clean sheerline deliver responsive handling and visual appeal in equal measure.
The boat has operated exclusively in freshwater and has been maintained and updated throughout its life. Electronics and systems have been upgraded, and the yacht carries a full complement of cruising gear and comfort additions fitted during ownership.
Power comes from a single Universal diesel engine rated at 24 horsepower. The hull is fiberglass, measuring 38 feet in length with an 11.83-foot beam. The interior includes one head and accommodation for cruising or day sailing.
