Broker's Comments

This Swedish designed Ohlson 38 was built at Tyler's yard in 1982 and launched in May 1983. The Ohlson 38 is regarded as a blue-water yacht and offshore racer.

The current owner is a keen sailor and bought the boat as a project some 7 years ago. It had been on the hard for at least a decade before that.

Commissioned major works to the boat included new standard rigging, new chainplates, new seacocks and new roller furler. The boat has had full epoxy treatment and the owner considers it safe for long passages.

The original engine was replaced in 2005 by a 20hp Beta that started instantly and ran smoothly.

The exterior of the boat is generally very smart.

One practical project for less intrepid sailors is to lead the lines back to the cockpit.

The priority has been the structural integrity of the boat rather than internal cosmetic niceties, although the cooker looks unused as does the Jabsco head. The saloon upholstery has been replaced.

The interior of the boat has some cosmetic possibilities but seems dry and weatherproof.

This is all reflected in the price offered, as any comparison with similar boats will bear out.

With its lead ballasted keel, keel-stepped mast and a thousand square feet of mainsail and foresail, this boat is a speed machine even in light airs, with the potential to handle rough weather as well.
