Down East 38 for sale in Greece

1978
38 ft
Greece, Ithaca

The 1978 Down East 38 is a robust, long-keeled, wheel-steered staysail schooner designed for versatility and adventure. With its two masts—an aluminum foremast deck-mounted and an aft mast keel-stepped—this boat is set up for both ocean crossings and canal cruising, thanks to its shallow 1.5-meter draft. The boat is crafted from fiberglass with a teak deck and spacious aft cockpit, offering both strength and elegance. Equipped with modern conveniences like a watermaker, autopilot, and wind instruments, the Down East 38 is designed for extended voyages. Its rigging system, featuring staysails on booms controlled from the cockpit, a furling Yankee jib, and a traveler for the main boom, provides excellent sail management, while the 402-hour Yanmar 3JH5E engine ensures reliable power when needed.

Inside, the teak interior offers accommodation for up to six people, though it is more comfortable for a crew of four. The saloon is airy and bright, with four large windows and a table that can seat up to eight. The forward cabin features a double vee berth, with a generous single cabin aft and additional sleeping spaces in the saloon. There’s full-standing headroom throughout, with 1.9 meters in the front cabin and 2.1 meters in the saloon. The yacht also boasts practical amenities like a gas cooker, large fridges, a sea toilet, and a shower. On deck, stainless steel davits hold solar panels, while the electric anchor windlass, bow thruster, and almost new dinghy with a Yamaha outboard enhance its functionality.
