If you are dreaming of taking a sailboat offshore or doing a circumnavigation the seller reports this Alajuela 38 is turn key ready. Extensive refit and equipment upgrades since 2013 are all noted in the listing details.
The Alajuela 38 is an excellent and proven bluewater cruiser, this one having spent most of the past 25 years in exotic places like Cartagena, Cuba and twice through the Panama Canal, Mexico, Hawaii and BC Canada. The interior feels large and has been used as a live aboard for a couple.
Similar in style to the Tayana 37 or the Union 36 this boat is about 5-6000 pounds heavier. Her underwater profile, canoe stern and kind motion in a seaway has kept her owner comfortable and safe through many thousands of miles of ocean travel.
Very reasonably priced current moorage in Port Orchard is transferable.

The galley is to starboard -- it’s modest but has everything you need: Alder-Barber refer, 2016 gimbaled Dickinson "Caribbean" 2 burner stove with oven and broiler, a big single basin sink and plenty of counter space. The full size nav table is to port and offers additional counter space while not underway. Two settees, one on either side, make up the salon with a decent sized pilot berth to port now being used as storage. The salon table folds out of the way. The headliner is clean and bright, with opening bronze portlights lining the cabin truck and an opening Lewmar hatch. Forward is an entry to a good sized master cabin with head that has its own door, a hanging locker, dressing seat, vanity and a large queen size berth with inner spring mattress. A large Lewmar hatch brings in light and air. Dickenson "Alaskan" cabin heat (2011) with 15 gallon diesel gravity feed fuel tank. Salon seating is bright, re-upholstered with Sunbrella material.
