Via 38 built in aluminum by the Maritime shipyard of Paimpol and Fécamp in 1980, based on plans by the architect Jean-Louis NOIR.
Le Via 38 is a true cruising sloop, recognized for its robustness, safety, and excellent offshore sailing capabilities.
Thanks to its aluminum construction and shallow draft, this boat is particularly suitable for long-distance cruising, exploring shallow anchorages, and bluewater sailing.
