This 1990 Catalina 38 is based on the Yankee 38 for good speed and great balance. This sloop is rigged for racing and cruising with lots of extras. In essence, what you get in the Catalina 38 is a fast performance boat whose interior was designed for cruising - the perfect combination.
The design of the Catalina 38 was originally developed by Catalina Yachts for a 1980 design competition sponsored by the Long Beach (New York) Yacht Club that was seeking a replacement for the aging Cal 40 for the one-design Congressional Cup Race. Beautiful and fast, the IOR influenced design of the Catalina 38 was selected.
Inside the Catalina 38, you have a forward v-berth cabin, an enclosed head, a dinette that converts to a berth, a settee, a nav station, a galley, and a quarter berth, which is plenty for a family or an offshore crew to sleep and eat comfortably.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
Hull: YANKEE 38 FG Fiberglass and resin Fin w/spa Based on an earlier S&S design; (YANKEE 38-S&S #2094). The molds were purchased from Yankee Yachts Shoal draft version: 4.90’/1.49m

The boat has Electric Harkin Wenches and Electric Autopilot.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Based on an earlier S&S design; (YANKEE 38-S&S #2094). The molds were purchased when Yankee Yachts went out of business. Among the modifications to the original design: new deck and coach roof, taller rig, and balanced spade rudder.
