Broker's Comments1977 Down East Cutter with Tender
What a fabulous boat!
As you can see by the list of work over the years, this boat has been extremely well taken care of by her owner.
The wood work in the cabin is fabulous. She is very roomy and would make for a great live aboard! She reminds me a bit of a pirate cutter and has a noticeable presentation! The cockpit is wide and roomy for entertaining or just cruising in comfort. The air conditioning and heat make her a four season boat!. If you are looking for a sailboat in the 38 foot range with a lot of comfort, then you need to see this one. Call for an appointment and we will be happy to show her off! There is a 2019 survey available and a complete inventory list upon request.Contact InformationCaptain S. Lee Bowden

Home)Manufacturer's InformationThe Downeaster 38 was conceived by Bob Poole, a Maine sailor transplanted to the West Coast, as a "classic" cruising yacht utilizing modern materials and technology. He retained the traditional features of the fine early cruising yachts of Down East. He was experienced in fiberglass yacht construction as an executive of Columbia Yachts. Poole commissioned Henry Morschladt, a young California naval architect, who specializes in cruising sailboats, to come up with a suitable design. The result is a straightforward, common-sense boat that will evoke a nostalgic twinge in those who remember what sailboats used to look like.DisclaimerThe Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
