Boat Details
Description
Marketing Description
Unique opportunity to purchase a genuine ‘Blue Water’ cruiser/racer. The Ohlson 38 is an extremely capable vessel, renowned for her sea keeping characteristics, strong construction and sailing performance. Indeed, the particular yacht has circumnavigated the world already and is now looking for a new custodian to share further adventures. Her present custodian has spared no expense in getting her ready for her next chapter and she has all her big ticket items completed. These include a preventative epoxy treatment to the underwater areas, upgraded navigation suite including AIS, a reconditioned 38hp Beta marine diesel which has only completed 80 hours, inverter, new batteries, wind and solar charging, new standing rigging, bow thruster and full cockpit tent but to name a few.
Below decks is clean with new upholstery and cabin heating.
If you are looking for a boat to get away in and have a limited budget, then ‘Black Shadow’ ticks all the boxes.
