1979 C&C 38-2

EXCALIBUR: The C&C 38-2 is both a performance yacht and a cruising yacht. And like all C&C yachts, she does both unusually well. The C&C 38-2 has brought added lustre to her owners’ racing reputations. But equally important, she’s brought many hours of comfortable, easy cruising to sailing families just like yours. She incorporates a number of innovative ideas to aid in competitive sailing. Her low profile deck provides an excellent working platform, and her inverted “T” shaped cockpit offers great room and efficiency. The unusually tall rig and light displacement make her a potential winner in any event. But, of course, the C&C 38-2 is also a cruising yacht. She is superbly appointed below decks and offers especially generous galley and navigational areas. C&C’s strict quality standards prevail throughout. EXCALIBUR has a 6” shorter keel than stock, for better access to shallow water areas.
