Liberty 38 A True Bluewater Cruiser
The Liberty 38 is a full keel, canoe stern cruising yacht with moderate displacement, designed for serious offshore sailing. Unlike modern "racer/cruisers" focused on ratings and trends, the Liberty 38 emphasizes seakindliness, structural integrity, performance, and timeless beauty.
Her elegant, springy sheer and traditional lines reflect generations of seaworthy design. Built with hand-laid fiberglass and low-wax resins for optimal strength and bonding, the Libertys construction exceeds typical production standards. The heavier displacement ensures a smoother motion at sea, especially in head seas.
Decks are built strongready to withstand ocean conditions, not just light coastal sailing. Her cutter rig, ample sail area, and thoughtful deck layout offer performance and safety under sail. A mainsail furler makes singlehanding significantly easier, allowing for efficient reefing and sail handling from the cockpit.
About VOYAGER A Classic Liberty 38 with Proven Pedigree
VOYAGER, a Liberty 38, has been hauled out since 2010 but remains in remarkable condition, a testament to the boats robust construction and diligent maintenance. She needs only cosmetic work, mainly the nonskid, and some updated equipment to be fully cruising-ready once again.
