Broker's Comments
A fast/cruiser racer for all types of sailing. The Sigma 38 speaks for itself given the numbers built, distances covered cruising, and the amount of races won. Very few boats can claim to have been such a success and great all-rounder.
This was the last one made by Marine Projects in Plymouth and has had one owner since new.
This particular example is currently undergoing a refit which will include a replacement engine. The seller of this vessel would also be happy to sell her as she is for a new owner to complete the works.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
