Rare two-owner Nauticat 38, low-hour Ford Lehman diesel
Looking for a well-built coastal cruiser or motorsailer? Well this 1983 Nauticat 38 is worth a good look. Built in Finland at the renowned Siltala Yard, this rare boat has had just two owners since her original launch. Her current owner bought her in 1994.
Set up with dual helms with one inside the pilothouse, you are free to travel in the most inclement weather while enjoying the comfort and safety of the fully enclosed pilothouse.
Her high bulwarks, teak decks and rigid teak handrail around the deck provide great safety at sea in rough conditions.
This boat has been extensively upgraded by the current owner who is a furniture maker. She has newer dorade boxes, a custom table in the pilothouse, Corian countertops and stainless steel sinks throughout.
Other amenities include pressure water a rebuilt propane system with stainless steel 3 burner stove / oven.
The sails are all less than 8 years old, and she is equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker with sock and spinnaker pole along with a staysail and drogue. Southern sailors will appreciate the canvas shade cover that shades the entire boat.
Don't wait too long to arrange a showing or make an offer prior to traveling to see it. This unit in this condition will sell fast!
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
