Built by C & L Marine in Taiwan this boat was built in the same yard as the Ocean Alexander. Designed by Ed Monk Sr. only 9 of these Comfort 38s were built. They employ a heavy lay up of fiberglass, a long full keel with cut away forefoot and displace 32,000 lbs. As you walk around the boat it is apparent it was built as a heavy duty style of boat. Pulpits are robust, bulwarks give a sense of safety plus life lines are of upgraded sizes. Non-skid is molded into the decks and has a deep gripping texture.
Note -- Waterline Boats / Boatshed Seattle does not independently verify tankage capacity and dimensions. Buyers should employ a surveyor to assess important features.

Broker's Comments
This Comfort 38 Motor Sailor was built in the same yard that builds the Ocean Alexanders. Although only nine were ever built they are a great example of an Ed Monk Northwest design. She's able to sail or motor and the roomy trawler-like spaces and abundant storage make this boat a great live aboard and a comfortable cruiser with long-range capability. She is a very good looking pilothouse yacht and anyone with a nautical eye will readily spot her merits.
