Prima 38
Description
The Prima 38 is a performance-oriented sailboat designed by Stephen Jones and built by Seaquest Yachts starting in 1998. Only 25 units were produced, making this a relatively rare and exclusive design in the modern sailing world. This contemporary yacht features advanced fiberglass construction with a fin keel and bulb configuration paired with a spade rudder, designed as a fractional sloop optimized for both performance sailing and comfortable cruising. The boat is noted for its generous sail plan that delivers excellent light-air performance, making it well-suited for a variety of sailing conditions.
