Registered User. Join Date: Jun 2015. Location: Monterey, California. Boat: Westsail 32. Posts: 842. Downeaster 38. I don't hear much talk of this particular yacht, and I'm not sure why. I've read that they have are tried and true offshore vessels, they have very heavy displacement and a DLR > 350, and they seem like they're wellish-built.
DE 38 Review « Downeaster Yachts.com
The Downeaster 38 is no greyhound of the sea, but in the long run a friendly shaggy dog makes the better companion for many of us, and for such people the 38 or something like it may very well be the right boat. The Downeaster 38 is a larger boat than its overall length would indicate since the waterline length is 29 feet and the beam is nearly ...

It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5

Re: Downeaster 38. I owned a 38' Downeaster cutter rigged sailboat for two years and used it for coastal sailing all through the Channel Islands of California. It is a good solid boat, well built (I think) in Costa Mesa California. I believe it would be a comfortable live aboard / cruising sailboat with enough TLC to the rigging, plumbing, and ...

Downeaster 38 , Fast Passage 39 , Valiant 40
Those three are in my first group at the larger end of what I'm considering. Others on the radar are the Baba 30, CT Cutter 34, Valiant 32, Alajuela 33/38, Tayana 37, Bristol 28 Cutter, Cabo Rico 38, Pretorien 35, and Pacific Seacraft 34. I think the Hans Christian 33 would be pushing the final budget.

Downeaster 38 , Fast Passage 39 , Valiant 40. Three bluewater boats at the upper size limit of what I'd be comfortable single-handing offshore. Budget under $85,000. Range - Pacific ocean. Am interested in your thoughts comparing/contrasting these three boats. Thank you.
Downeast 38
First boat - sub 30 foot - cheap learning. Second boat - big enough for multi day passages up to a week. Don't break the bank ~60-80k - 36-38 feet. Next boat - Liveaboard - possibly a cat, pilot house or motorsailer. This is the boat I will probably retire on. Why do you think selling a boat in Phuket is difficult.
Rambling notes on the DE38 by Greg Smith
The Downeaster 38 is a larger boat than its overall -length would indicate since the waterline length is 29 feet and the beam is nearly 12 feet. A ballast/displacement ratio of 41 percent, together with the large beam, means that the 38 will stay on her feet despite the shoal draft of just under five feet.

Ongoing maintenance requirements: DE32. going for a 32 to a 38 almost doubles the surface area and cubic volume of the hull. Everything takes more time and effort other than core systems such as engine, electrical, fridge, etc that are the same regardless of boat size. Ground tackle is much larger and more expensive.

Her 14-foot beam allows for some serious room below, while the 6-foot. draught gives her master plenty of cruising options. She's not for everybody, but for the sailor who's. looking for character and tradition in a well-equipped offshore yacht, Seafari IV is definitely in a class of her own. Asking price: $159,000.
