1985 Wauquiez – Hood 38 MKII

Renowned for their superior construction and joinery, yachts built by Henri Wauquiez have long garnered a strong reputation for exceeding the demands of ardent sailors worldwide.  The Hood 38, designed by Ted Hood, offers an exceptional opportunity to those seeking a fast shallow draft cruiser built to high custom standards.  The Mark II allows direct access to the companionway steps from the cockpit and a slightly different layout below than the MK I.  The solid FRP hull, thick gel coat, exceptional tabbing application and finish workmanship is considerably above average in this premier category yacht.  The tall powerful rig offers great light wind (and upwind) performance, yet she is stiff, well balanced, and equally comfortable in a strong blow.  These characteristics are all what combine to have highly accomplished and well known navel architect Robert Perry recently tell the owner that the Wauquiez Hood 38 MKII “is an exceptionally well built yacht, and (it) is his favorite sailing yacht in this class/(size)”.  After 1987, this exceptional design went on to be produced in the US as the Little Harbor 38, and the Bristol 38, but the Wauquiez 38 remains the only one designed to offer the private aft cabin arrangement below. With over $20000.00 in recent upgrades, this Wauquiez Hood 38 MK II is clean, offshore ready, outfitted for extended cruising, and in turn key condition – just bring your bags, provision and go!  She is a fast “go anywhere” shoal draft cruiser that has been well maintained, continually upgraded, and offers great sailing performance.  There is a full set of tools aboard, and the inventory includes many spare and replacement parts/essentials.  Located in the Lesser Antilles Caribbean islands, she is ideally located to start your cruising dreams.  All serious offers will be considered.  For full details, equipment list, and more photos, contact seller.
