Wauquiez Hood 38 mk 2 used

XBOAT ref: 378.br / I am selling my 1984 WAUQUIEZ HOOD 38 sailboat; this is the second MK2 version.
It is a sloop rig, built from thick fiberglass—it’s a very sturdy boat!
I am the third owner; I am selling it reluctantly due to health reasons. I have enjoyed sailing for 14 years in the waters of Brittany and Gascony, with annual trips to Spain, Scotland, Ireland, and Cornwall...
It is very comfortable with its two cabins and a spacious living area in the saloon, whichThis area converts into a double berth; it features forced-air heating, pressurized hot water, two toilets (one equipped with a black water tank—never used), a full kitchen with a countertop, double sink, gas stove with oven, microwave, and a sound system with speakers inside and outside.
It is a sturdy, very comfortable boat. A total of 179 units were built between 1978 and 1989.
It is indeed not easy to combine often contradictory qualities such as comfort and performance, and to add aesthetics to the mix.
The Hood 38 is beautiful. Ted Hood, its designer, succeeded in giving it elegance and class. Because part of the pleasure of owning a boat is simply looking at it.
The Hood 38 is comfortable. Its interior volume is quiteêIt is the largest of all boats of this type, and the abundant use of teak lends the interior a refined luxury. It offers exceptional comfort for enjoyable cruising from cove to cove, thanks to the centerboard.
The Hood 38 is fast. Ted Hood is just like us: he loves boats that go! Thanks to his vast experience, the Hood 38 is a joy to helm. Comfortably seated behind the wheel, with 11.6 meters of deck in front of you, you can sail close-hauled in winds of less than 30° apparent wind. Downwind, with the centerboard up, you’ll achieve astonishing average speeds.
