The Helmsman Trawlers 38 Sedan is a modern interpretation of the traditional European sedan trawler, built on a fiberglass hull powered by a single Cummins diesel engine rated at 380 horsepower. The 40-foot design carries a 14-foot beam that supports a notably spacious interior while maintaining safe side walk-arounds for deck access.
The accommodation plan includes two staterooms—a full owners' stateroom and a guest cabin that functions equally well as an office or workstation. The main salon stretches over two feet longer than the earlier 37 Sedan model, allowing for an expanded galley and dining settee. The space is naturally lit and ventilated, serving as comfortable living quarters whether anchored or underway. The flybridge offers seating for six and has space allocated for dinghy stowage.
The design emphasizes efficient, economical cruising. Hull and mechanical systems are engineered for long-range passage-making with attention to stable performance and fuel efficiency. Construction throughout uses quality materials and components, with carefully finished nautical interiors. The diesel propulsion and sturdy build minimize exterior maintenance demands, allowing more time on the water.
