Wauquiez Hood 38

XBOAT ref:378.
I am selling my sailboat brand WAUQUIEZ HOOD 38 from 1984, it is the second MK2 version.
It features a sloop rig, built with thick polyester resin, making it a very solid boat!
I am the third owner, I am selling it with regret due to health reasons. I 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 has blown air heating, pressurized hot water, 2 toilets, one equipped with black water tank (never used), a full kitchen with worktop, double sink, gas stove with oven, microwave. There are speakers inside and outside.
It is a robust and very comfortable boat. Built between 1978 and 1989 with 179 units.
It’s not so easy to combine qualities often seen as contradictory such as comfort, performance, and aesthetics.
The Hood 38 is beautiful. Ted Hood, its designer, managed to give it elegance and character. Because 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 all boats of this type, and the profuse use of teak gives the arrangements a refined luxury. Perfect for happy cruising from cove to cove thanks to the lifting keel.
The Hood 38 is fast. Ted Hood, like us, loves fast boats! With his extensive experience, the Hood 38 provides great pleasure at the helm. Comfortably seated behind the steering wheel, with eleven meters sixty of deck in front of you, you can sail upwind at less than 30° apparent wind. In reaching sails, with the keel up, you can achieve remarkable averages.
