Northshore 38 Just Listed

1988 Northshore 38 - Iconic Australian Performance Cruiser

The Northshore 38 is one of Australia's most respected and best-known cruiser-racers, and this 1988 example represents a brilliant opportunity to secure a proven design with an outstanding reputation for performance, balance, and seaworthiness. Designed by Hank Kaufman and built by Northshore Yachts (Sydney), the Northshore 38 is renowned for its easily-driven hull, responsive sailing manners, and practical cruising layout--making it equally at home as a fast weekender, club racer, or capable coastal cruiser.

With its fractional sloop rig, fin keel, and skeg-hung rudder, the Northshore 38 delivers confident tracking and handling while still offering the "alive" performance feel these yachts are famous for. Measuring approximately 11.58m LOA, 3.35m beam, and 1.78m draft, the design hits the sweet spot of speed and stability, supported by a displacement of around 5.2T with a substantial ballast ratio--ideal for Australian conditions and varied sailing plans.

Down below, the Northshore 38 offers a functional and comfortable interior suited to extended cruising, with a traditional, well-proportioned layout that provides excellent use of space for a yacht of this size. It's no surprise these yachts remain highly sought after--strong, timeless, and backed by a loyal owner community, the Northshore 38 continues to stand out as one of the great Australian production yachts of its era.

A true Aussie classic with real pedigree--fast, capable, and built to be sailed.
