Alpa ALPA 38 used

Defined by the renowned naval architecture of Sparkman & Stephens, this 1978 Alpa 38 is a robust ketch sailboat built with a fiberglass hull. Measuring 11.5 meters in length with a 3.41-meter beam, this vessel provides a stable and reliable platform for cruising. The boat is currently priced at 50.000 EUR, with VAT paid status. Mechanical reliability is a primary highlight of this listing, featuring a Beta Marine 50 hp engine installed in 2017 with approximately 500 hours of operation. Recent maintenance further enhances the vessel's readiness, including standing rigging replaced in 2023, a new jib furler installed in 2024, and a life raft updated in 2022. The sail inventory is comprehensive, featuring a battened mainsail, light wind jibs, standard jibs, and a gennaker. This Alpa 38 offers a practical interior configuration with two cabins and two bathrooms, capable of accommodating up to 10 people. Having been under the care of the current owner for the past 25 years—the third owner in its history—the boat reflects a long-term commitment to maintenance. It is currently registered under a Polish flag. With the price recently reduced, this ketch represents a compelling opportunity for sailors seeking a proven design with modern engine and rigging upgrades.
