I love my 1976 DE38 Ketch. Just sailed it from Sydney to Hobart in Australia and she loved every minute of it. A long way from Santa Anna on the other side of the world. The shower actually comes out of the middle of your taps (fawcet). You were looking at the water tank overflow/breather pipes. The second fridge you saw is actually just an icebox. Chainplate leaks can also find their way into that area under the butterfly hatch..Great story, thank you for sharing and if you want to know anything more about the DE38 just ask. Regards, Dave.

Downeasters are great boats , We just recently purchased one ourselves off the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia ! The headroom in both the galley & saloon is tremendous , approaching 7 ft ! ( I am 6 ' 2" myself ) so one of few boats in this size I do not feel claustrophobic – wide beam of nearly 12 " so VERY spacious !! There are several YouTube channels featuring , sailing a DE38 ( examples -Faith's Wind , Sailing Mundial ) – we are just beginning a refit ourselves for World Travels ! There is a FB Group for DownEaster Yacht owners as well . Chainplates – Mast compression posts – are just a couple of things that need addressed like on any older boat. Several DE38 have circumnavigated , there is one in the South Pacific adventuring currently –

T roof windows with bbq grills over them looked like t ones on Dave's new coral reef . Yeah, that was cold. T only 2 things missing...Hal's drawl and Bentleys fat head! WOOF!

It don't seem like a boat for you ! Its kinda vanilla ! You need more like a pirate ship type ! I'd pass on that one ! Just my opinion ! lol

Excellent vessel. I’ve had my 79 38 ft for 14 years now and I absolutely love it. I’ve had many boats throughout the years,many of which were larger and some that were smaller but I have to say for a boat of this this size ,it is a very comfortable sea kindly vessel especially in rough seas. Downeaster is not very well known but she will take you anywhere your heart desires and do it safely. A great blue water cruiser for the adventurous couple guaranteed!

i surmise that the rotten wood at the base of the mast is from a leaky mast step. We traditionally would see more damage around the butterfly hatch rim if it was only coming from there, not necessarily just on the floor.

Is this a for sale boat or just seeing what different boats are like? If it's for sale, what asking price? Are you looking to buy it? If so what more would you have to do beyond the current refit?
