Peterson 38


The Peterson 38 is a 37.83ft masthead sloop designed by Doug Peterson and built in fiberglass by Plastrend / Composite Technologies since 1982.

8 units have been built.

The Peterson 38 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
