[[SOLD as of 12/04/2024]] Ok, this is An INCREDIBLE Bluewater Sailboat AND this video is her debut listing! And while we don't typically review sailboats in this price range (a first at this level), we were contacted by the owner, Gary, who asked us to showcase her and announce her being for sale. We were honored and even more so when we saw this beautiful Cabo Rico 38. We had never been on one, though we heard they are nice. Guess what? They are WICKED nice and this one is off the charts. Gary bought her 3 years ago and has done a ton of work to her and made lots of upgrades (all of this is listed below). He found her in Marion, MA, sailed her up to Maine, did a ton of work, then sailed her to the Bahamas. Of note, this CR 38 has also sailed around the world. The proof of her seaworthiness is in the pudding, as they say. She has done it all and is now ready for more. Once you go through the list of what has been done, you'll see why. There is nothing left to do but replace the lifelines (as we note in the video) and go sailing - and not necessarily in that order.

Honestly, we loved this boat so much and we really hope we get a chance to go sailing on her.

She is located at Knight Marine, Rockland, ME, and her mast is being stepped in about a week or so (as of the premier of this video). As Canadian Ken mentions in the opener, we have NO financial interest in this boat whatsoever. We don't get paid by the seller for our services, either. This allows us to remain unbiased and to call it as we see it. If you feel like supporting us, you can at www.patreon.com/boatfoolssailing. You can sign up for free or for just a few bucks a month.

Many thanks for watching!

Get busy sailing or get busy tryin'!
