Frers 38

Designed by renowned Argentine naval architect German Frers and built by Carroll Marine in the United States, this elegant 38-footer represents a sophisticated blend of performance and cruising capability. With only 18 hulls produced since 1988, the Frers 38 stands as an exclusive example of the designer's mastery in creating versatile sailing yachts. The yacht's moderate displacement of 14,500 pounds and substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio provide excellent stability for both coastal and offshore passages. Her fin keel and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling and good windward performance, while the masthead sloop rig with 727 square feet of sail area offers manageable power for a small crew. At 38.5 feet overall with a 30-foot waterline, this yacht strikes an ideal balance between interior space and sailing performance. The 7.5-foot draft provides good upwind ability while maintaining access to most harbors. With a comfort ratio of 23.16, she leans toward the performance end of the spectrum while retaining adequate interior volume for extended cruising. The Frers 38 suits sailors seeking a well-mannered yacht capable of serious coastal cruising with occasional offshore passages, combining German Frers' renowned design aesthetic with practical American construction quality.
