Oh to be 10 years or so younger and in better health. I'd snap her up in a heart beat and go by the old survey when I did it. There's just so much there to work with and not a heck of a lot that'd need doing on the hard. Go through her top to bottom, engine, through wholes, wiring, fresh paint on the decks and on the bottom a few other bits and bobs and I'd splash her doing the rest of the work on the water. Thanks for showing her to us as I think she really will make someone younger and in better health one heck of a little yacht...

I just came into a 1968 North East 38 mk2 basically for free. The MK2 and MK3 were spade rudder configurations. I believe the MK1 (the one in this video) was a 5000lb ballast. The mk2/3 were upped to 6000lbs. Mine is in pretty rough condition. About 3-1/2 years ago she broke from her mooring in a storm and washed on some rocks. Put a hole in her side. She was towed back to the mooring left there for some time. The hole was above the water line, so would slowly take in water. The owner at the time repaired the hole, sanded the exterior (top and bottom) and put epoxy primer on the bottom. But he never finished the job. Unfortunately she sat for these last 3-1/2 years and collected water in the bilge. Since then the aft portion of the keel has crushed due to the long sit. It's going to take me a few years to get her going again, but I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing! It's awesome to see what my boat could become!

[@bendaves77]

Wow!!!! I see why Capt Q loved the pb after seeing this shorter version.. after you spent a weekend with a rag and 5 gallons of wood polish the inside of her would be breathtaking.. i just love the old traditional boats

[@Antipodean33]

She's a bargain, a 38 footer for $24,000 is very tempting for someone looking for a decent sized boat for a great price.. She's a proper boat and down here in Australia you couldn't buy a 38 footer of any make for that price in good nick. All the above taken into account, she is also pleasing to the eye, someone will do well here

[@YachtHunters]

we have a treat coming stay tuned

[@1991pony]

@@YachtHunters Thanks Captain. The 12 meter boats have always been, for me, the pinnacle of sail racing. The current Americas Cup boats hold no interest for me. I'm getting along in years so my sailing days are probably behind me, but several years ago, I was in St. Marten where they have former AC boats that tourists can crew on for a race around the bouys in the bay. I was the main sheet trimmer working in the cockpit and visiting with the professional skipper( Ernie from South Africa. Great guy.) When the race was over, he asked me if I'd like to drive the boat. He didn't have to ask twice. When I took hold of the helm, a thrill went through me that I will never forget. Anyway, the last boat I will probably ever sail was a 12 meter for about half an hour across a bay in St. Maarten. I'll spend the rest of my days being pretty OK with that.

Captain Q, In 1985 I bought a fully equipped Northeast 38; newly overhauled Volvo diesel engine / 8 bags of sails just back from being checked by a sailmaker / inflatable dinghy / galley with three burner stove & oven / pots / pans /plates /silverware / engine spare parts / boat spare parts / extra steering system cable / radio / depth sounder / log / etc. from a Hamburg Yacht Club. Since I was buying it unseen, I made an offer of DM 50K (DM 4.30 = $1.00) with a goodly allowance for the "unknowns". My wife and I picked up our new toy in Hamburg and spent 5 weeks sailing in Denmark to find out what kinds of problems I had bought. Mostly small stuff, except our final trip from Denmark, hard on the wind in heavy rain. It was a long cold, wet slog to windward to Kiel. When we tied up at the Olympic Harbor in Kiel I was coiling lines and clearing up the cockpit when my wife yelled something from down below. I asked, "what did you say...? and her answer was, "tonight we sleep in a hotel " She told me that our forward cabin mattresses were soaking wet with seawater from the leaking forward hatch. The main thing the boat lacked was TLC. Nobody (they went on 6 man cruises all summer long) had ever recaulked the railing stanchions, or the hatches, but aside from that, we had a great 5 weeks sailing and exploring the Danish Islands.

Tripp Sr. has to be one of the most influential and important yacht designers in history - up there with Alberg, Rhodes, Herreshoff, and Stephens - always loved his iconic designs - Block Island and Bermuda 40, Columbia 50, Coronados, Le Comtes, etc..

[@YachtHunters]

You are a person of impeccable insight. Sadly he lost his life on the Connecticut Expressway when another car crossed the lane and killed him in his Jaguar. He was perfect for the time and an experimenter who didn’t follow the flock of other designers rather put a unique spin of his own on his designs. The Pbu was a great find for me and I loved her dearly but when I was looking for I was actually trying to find a Columbia 50 which I had sailed on from Bermuda back to New England after the 66 race. I still think she is one of the prettiest boats that he designed or that anybody designed for production purposes. There is actually a telling me to 50 sitting on a steel cradle in Malaysia waiting to be bought and shipped to some lucky new owner. I’ve been watching her for a couple of years. I like the basic original layout of the 50s and some people have redesigned the interiors but anyway that’s a fine point. If you do win the lottery are granny leaves you something special on her mantle keep an eye out for 50 they are rarely on the market and if you find one I don’t want it please contact me lol CQ

[@ratandmonkey2982]

I don't quite get the "musher" concept. It seems it would uncomfortably slam into a wave with a wide bow rather than gently slicing through. What don't I understand?

[@jims5338]

As someone whose boat has a similar bow, with it having that angle downward towards the keel rather than an abrupt turn aft, the boat "settles" into the waves and mushes the water to either side rather that the abrupt pounding boats without it have. So you're a little slower with the shorter waterline, but improve the ride in the process.

The bow chocks imbedded in the toe rail and stainless port lights make my day every time. But yes, it is a shame the fireplace was removed. That refrigeration compressor would be taken off the engine and a 12V compressor installed because,,,,,,,well because I hate wasting engine hours on that sort of thing or for even charging the batteries. THAT is why God invented portable gasoline generators IMHO. The price is totally incredible though. I can just see myself on Boston Harbor anchored for the 4th of July fireworks after a day of spanking around the harbor. I loved that compass.

When I look at a boat. I put the condition of the bilge and engine high on the list. Both show how well a boat is cared for. That bilge needs some love and the engine? What happened to the engine here? ;)

[@YachtHunters]

Engine is fine. Tranny just rebuilt etc etc We were just asleep at the wheel

[@alanpettibone]

I actually think I enjoy the stories of the people behind the boats more than the boats themselves… not that I don’t enjoy the boat

[@YachtHunters]

oh thank you

[@danielclint1033]

The problem with deck drains is that often water intrudes and cause delimitation, otherwise and properly cared for, it is a good idea.
