XBOAT ref :378. I am selling my sailboat manufactured by WAUQUIEZ, model HOOD 38 from 1984, which is the second MK2 version. It is a sloop rig, built with thick polyester resin, making it a very solid boat! I am the third owner, selling it reluctantly due to health reasons. I have enjoyed sailing for 14 years in Breton waters, Gascogne, with annual trips to Spain, Scotland, Ireland, Cornouaille... It is very comfortable with 2 cabins, a large living space in the saloon, convertible into a double berth. It features forced air heating, pressurized hot water, 2 toilets, one equipped with a black water tank (never used), a fully equipped kitchen with countertop, double sink, gas cooker, microwave, and sound system with speakers inside and outside. It is a robust and very comfortable boat. Built between 1978 and 1989 in 179 units. It’s not easy to find a boat that combines comfort, performance, and aesthetics. The Hood 38 is beautiful. Ted Hood, its designer, managed to give it elegance and character. Part of the pleasure of owning a boat is simply looking at it. The Hood 38 is comfortable. Its interior volume is perhaps the largest of its kind, and the profuse use of teak gives the furnishings a refined luxury. Perfect for happy cruises from cove to cove thanks to the retractable keel. The Hood 38 is fast. Ted Hood, like us, loves boats that perform! With his vast experience, the Hood 38 provides great pleasure at the helm. Sitting comfortably behind the wheel, with eleven meters sixty of deck ahead, you can sail close-hauled at less than 30° apparent wind. On reach points, with the keel up, you can achieve astonishing averages.
