Alajuela 38
4 / 28 - score 56%
The Alajuela 38 is a 37.99ft cutter designed by William Atkin and built in fiberglass by Alajuela Yacht Corp. between 1977 and 1985.
72 units have been built.
It accomodates 4 people in 1 cabins plus salon.
The Alajuela 38 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
