1988 Custom Steel Cruising Sailboat & PT11 Dinghy

Custom Built Steel Cruising Sailboat, 38 ft in excellent condition. This boat was designed by Marcel Subrero for the previous owner. Marcel Subrero is well know for his steel cruising boat designs. The hull was welded at the famous Plataret ship yard in France, then the boat was finished in Geneva, Switzerland by some extremely talented craftsmen and engineers. The boat is excellently constructed. It was launched in 1988 in the French Mediterranean and cruised the world for 30 years before we bought it in Port Townsend, Washington in 2020.

We are in the final stages of a very extensive refit and for personal life reasons need to sell the boat. We are currently still painting and installing the last bits of interior. More photos of the interior will be following soon as we finish repainting/revarnishing the interior.
