The Cabo Rico 38 is designed for cruising. It is designed for comfort in any seas. And they are designed for stories. Jeraja has many stories under her keel, and is looking for a new owner to create more.
Coming aboard and going forward, you will notice the cutter rig, the beautiful bowsprit, and the spacious foredeck area. The club for the staysail has been remove and a hank-on jib put in place - but the club is still available.
The cockpit is spacious and secure with brand new electronics and cockpit cover. A new autopilot is onboard, along with a brand new Monitor Windvane.
Going below you will see the expert design of Bill Crealock and the craftsmanship of Latin American wood workers. Looking to port is the secure galley with a Tasco 2 burner propane stove and oven. The owner has a brand new cold plate for the refrigerator that needs to be installed. There is ample storage throughout.
To the starboard is the fold-up navigator's station and generous quarter berth for underway. Access to the Westerbeke 46 HP engine is under the ladderway.
Going forward into the main cabin, there is seating and storage both to starboard and port. The dining table is fairly big, and folds up out of place.
Continuing forward, the head with a separate shower is on the starboard side with storage to port. The V-Berth/Owner's Cabin is also quite comfortable with plenty of light, air circulation, storage and sleeping room.
