About the Cc 38 3 Sailboat

Built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding, this classic motorsailer represents the yard's commitment to traditional New England craftsmanship and seaworthy design. With limited specifications publicly available, the Cc 38 3 appears to be part of Cape Cod Shipbuilding's legacy fleet, likely developed during the company's focus on creating versatile vessels for Northeast coastal waters. The design philosophy behind this model emphasizes the dual-purpose nature that made Cape Cod's boats popular among sailors who wanted both sailing performance and reliable auxiliary power. These characteristics make it well-suited for coastal cruising and extended passages along the Eastern Seaboard, where weather conditions can change rapidly and having substantial engine power proves invaluable. Cape Cod Shipbuilding earned recognition for producing robust, well-built vessels that could handle the challenging waters off New England's coast. The construction typically featured solid fiberglass hulls with attention to structural integrity and long-term durability. While detailed specifications remain elusive, the boat's lineage suggests it would appeal to sailors seeking a traditional cruising experience with the security of proven construction methods and the versatility to handle various sailing conditions from protected harbors to open ocean passages.
