Manufacturer's Information

The Downeaster 38 was conceived by Bob Poole, a Maine sailor transplanted to the West Coast, as a "classic" cruising yacht utilizing modern materials and technology. He retained the traditional features of the fine early cruising yachts of Down East. He was experienced in fiberglass yacht construction as an executive of Columbia Yachts. Poole commissioned Henry Morschladt, a young California naval architect, who specializes in cruising sailboats, to come up with a suitable design. The result is a straightforward, common-sense boat that will evoke a nostalgic twinge in those who remember what sailboats used to look like.
