2018 Maine Cat 38

This 2018 Maine Cat 38 is a fiberglass catamaran built for sailing with modern electric propulsion. The 38-foot hull spans a 21-foot beam, providing the stability and interior volume characteristic of the Maine Cat design. The boat is fitted with an OceanVolt electric propulsion system and carries lithium batteries for power storage, supported by solar generation and an automatic backup generator to extend range and reduce fuel consumption.

The layout includes two cabins and two heads, offering comfortable accommodation for cruising. The catamaran is equipped with daggerboards to enhance upwind sailing performance, a key feature of the Maine Cat 38 model that allows the boat to point higher and sail more efficiently to windward.

The hybrid propulsion setup combines silent electric motors with a backup generator, making the boat suitable for both ocean passages and quiet anchorages. This combination of solar power, battery storage, and generator support creates flexibility for extended cruising while minimizing noise and emissions during normal operation.
