Sigma 38
The Sigma Yachts 38 is a well-established choice for those seeking a sailboat that combines sporting performance with comfort for long voyages. This model, built in 1989 by the prestigious shipyard Marine Projects in Plymouth, United Kingdom, was designed to satisfy both racing sailors and families fond of long passages. With a length of 11.6 meters and a beam of 3.12 meters, this pre-owned sailboat offers a remarkable balance between maneuverability and interior livability, making it a versatile choice for different sailing styles.
Currently located in Vigo, Pontevedra, this Sigma Yachts 38 has a sailing history that attests to its robustness and reliability. Its current owners acquired it in the Netherlands, and since then, it has navigated the waters of the North Sea, the Baltic, and the European Atlantic coast, demonstrating its ability to handle both coastal passages and long offshore stages. This type of sailboat is characterized by a performance-oriented hull and rig design, with outstanding maneuverability even in light winds and appreciable stability when conditions become challenging.
Regarding equipment, this pre-owned sailboat stands out for its updated technical features. The Nanni Diesel 3100 HE engine, installed in 2018 and with low usage (304 hours), ensures reliability and efficiency in consumption, while annual maintenance and the recent application of antifouling in 2025 enhance the peace of mind for the new owner. The onboard power system is bolstered by a Solara solar panel and an Airbreeze wind turbine, providing autonomy during extended stays away from the port. The three service batteries (new in 2024) and the engine battery complete an electrical system prepared to handle various sailing scenarios.
The navigation equipment includes elements from recognized brands, such as the Raymarine autopilot (new in 2024), Furuno radar, Raymarine Axiom chart system, and Cobra Marine VHF. The rigging includes Seldén equipment, renewed in 2025, and a complete set of sails, with a new mainsail for 2025, several genoas, jibs, as well as spinnakers for light and strong conditions. The eight Lewmar winches facilitate maneuver management, even with a reduced crew, and the arrangement of all lines towards the cockpit allows this sailboat to be handled solo.
The interior of the Sigma 38 meets the expectations of those seeking comfort during prolonged sailing. The layout offers three double cabins and four additional berths in the salon, totaling ten sleeping places, along with a bathroom with a gray water tank. The kitchen, equipped with a Dometic refrigerator (2025), two-burner stove, and oven, meets the needs of life on board. The height in the salon, at two meters, adds spaciousness to the living area, something highly valued in family cruises or outings with friends.
Its location in Vigo, within the province of Pontevedra, places this sailboat in one of the most appreciated areas of the peninsular Atlantic, with immediate access to navigable rias and routes towards northern Portugal or Galicia. An ideal spot for those seeking oceanic adventure as well as for those who prefer to discover coves and ports along the Atlantic coast. This Sigma Yachts 38 is perfect for experienced sailors or families who value safety, history, and the versatility of a sailboat with a recognized reputation.
