For Sale: 1986 Vagabond Westwind 38

[X Fernandez]

1986 Vagabond Westwind 38.
Annapolis, Maryland
$65,000

Ready to sail the Chesapeake this summer and head south this fall. Vagabond’s Westwind 38 has its larger cousins’ rugged construction and fine interior teak joinery throughout with a more modern look and more modern design. Vagabond built about three dozen of this model in the famed Taiwanese ship yards during the sweet spot of boat building: when boats were built heavier, but with foam core in the decks, not wood.

The Westwind 38 is cutter rigged with an integral fin keel, a full skeg rudder and a Max prop three bladed propellor. She has a Pullman style full-sized front berth and a full sized aft berth. She has a hard dodger with new polycarbonate windshield, a rugged solar arch with 690 watts of panels, a D400 wind generator, and dinghy davits.
