Soverel 39
Description
The Soverel 39 is a high-performance racing yacht designed by Mark Soverel and built by Soverel Marine (USA) from 1984 to 1988. This 38.42-foot vessel represents the logical, scaled-up successor to the wildly successful Soverel 33, intended to provide a more robust offshore platform capable of competing in premier racing circuits of the mid-1980s, such as the Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC). The boat was produced in two distinct phases: an initial series of lightweight, minimalist hulls built by Soverel Marine in North Palm Beach, and a subsequent, more refined production run by Tartan Yachts after they acquired the tooling.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
