Liberty 38
5 / 10 - score 59%
The Liberty 38 is a 38.0ft cutter designed by Joe Fennell and built in fiberglass between 1983 and 1985.
6 units have been built.
The Liberty 38 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
