Aragosa 38
Description
Overview of the Aragosa 38 Sailboat The Aragosa 38 is a classic blue water cruising sailboat designed by renowned naval architect Ted Brewer (design #198). It was built by Aragosa Yachts Inc., originally based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (with a former address at 20 Alden Rd, Markham, ON). Production appears to have been limited, with examples dating back to at least 1990. The boat is constructed primarily in steel for durability in long-distance voyages, though some references suggest aluminum variants in related designs (like the similar Aragosa 35). It's a modern sloop with a tall masthead rig, emphasizing performance, stability, and ease of handling. The design prioritizes blue water capability, making it suitable for offshore cruising, with a low wetted surface for efficient sailing in light winds.
