Ohlson 38 For Sale – $85,000 - Currently stored inside Lincolnville Maine

This boat does well whatever you want a sailboat to do. Spend the day sailing around with the family, race around the cans, or sail across the ocean, we have done them all aboard Iroquois. The problem is that we live 3 hours by car from the nearest Great Lake and 18 hours from the nearest ocean so that we are just not using the boat enough to justify keeping someone else from doing what this boat does best, GO SAILING.

The boat, as any Ohlson owner knows, sails. I cannot say how many times we have been the only boat on the water, not I hope because we are more foolish or braver than the next person, but with proper sail trim and selection (this is where the inner forestay shines) the boat and crew are just as happy at 25-30 knots as they are at 12. We have sailed all day at 5 knots and unfortunately half the night at more than 65.

I can honestly say the price is fair, the boat is great, and it has been both upgraded and maintained during the ten years that we have owned it. I think we have bought it twice.
