NATALIA is one of the highly regarded S&S designed 38’ Yankee Sloops, which were the forerunner of the Swan 38’s. These vessels have breathtaking lines with handsome tumblehome, and have proven both to be superb family cruisers. They were heavily built hulls with longitudinal and athwartship stringers, a T-shaped cockpit with wheel steering, and an easily-handled rig. In 1980 Catalina Yachts saw the potential of this S&S design and purchased the molds and built 366 Catalina 38's over 14 years. NATALIA’S owner is her third and reports many happy cruising seasons on the Maine Coast with family. Please review all the upgrades which include new working sails, a Westerbeke diesel installed in 2021, a Simpson Lawrence anchor windlass, and more. Please come and inspect this 38’ S&S Sloop. We thank you for your interest.
