Owner Experience Review
Owners use the 38 Aft CabinbySABREas a family-friendly coastal cruiser and weekend platform, often treating it as a “comfy floating summer home” for seasonal dockside living. Beyond leisure, many report club-level performance cruising, with one owner noting it “blew the doors off” comparable cruising boats and proved fast and weatherly for its class. Under sail, test sails and owner notes cite very good tracking on the wind around 12–15 knots apparent, responsive tacks, solid upwind manners, and respectable light-air speed on Mk II versions; off the wind it can ask for a bit more steering attention to stay straight.
Comfort is anchored by the enclosed, private aft cabin on Mk II layouts, paired with a spacious V-berth and quality teak joinery that create a bright, well-finished interior; the galley is serviceable but short on counter area and refrigeration. Typical for boats of this vintage, owners flag maintenance watch-items: re-bedding chainplates, portholes, and hatch seals; monitoring mast-step and cabin-sole moisture; addressing rudder-post wear or leaks (often more noticeable under power); and surveying for past hull blisters or any deck/core delamination. Taken together, the 38 Aft Cabinbalances comfortable accommodations with engaging performance for short coastal passages, overnighting, and club-race fun.
Pros and Cons
- Tracks very well upwind with responsive tacks and respectable light-air speed on Mk II.
- Private aft cabin, roomy V-berth, and quality teak joinery deliver comfort for cruising and dockside living.
- Capable coastal cruiser with decent tankage and a reputation for being fast and weatherly for its class.
- Requires more steering attention off the wind to hold a straight course.
- Galley works but is tight on counter space and refrigeration capacity.
- Age-related maintenance hotspots to inspect: chainplates/ports/hatches re-bedding, mast-step moisture, rudder-post leaks, and possible blisters or deck/core issues.
