"RISK" is currently berthed at Bosuns Locker Brokerage, Southport Yacht Club Marina, Gold Coast. Contact Helen at Bosuns Locker Brokerage today to arrange an inspection.
"RISK" is a standout example of the iconic Sydney 38 One Design - a high-performance racer-cruiser with a strong pedigree in both competitive club racing and offshore events. Priced competitively by a motivated seller, she represents exceptional value for any sailor looking to step into a proven, competitive fleet at a fraction of the cost of other Sydney 38's on the market.
With a successful racing history, including a 4th place finish at the 2020 Sydney 38 OD Australian Championship, "RISK" is still race-ready, currently competing in club racing.
Key Features:
Updated Engine - New 2019 Yanmar (approx. 330 hours)
Rigging & Deck Gear Upgrades - Standing rigging replaced in 2017, major deck gear refit in 2016
Interior Refinished - Clean and functional, with varnish refinished in 2016
Optimised for Racing - Maintains minimum class weight, with a competitive sail wardrobe
Cruising-Ready Comfort - Practical interior layout allows for overnighting and casual sailing
Racing & Performance:
The Sydney 38 OD is renowned for its strict one-design rule, rewarding tactical sailing and crew performance. With a powerful sail plan, efficient hull form, and superb balance, it's equally suited to close-fleet inshore racing and offshore campaigns. "RISK" has been a consistent front-runner in both club and regatta-level racing and is ready to hit the water immediately.
Broker's Comment:
"Risk is a genuine opportunity to acquire a performance-proven Sydney 38 at a realistic price. Her recent upgrades and clean racing history make her ideal for anyone looking to compete in a strong one-design fleet or enjoy spirited twilight sailing with offshore potential. At $85,000, she's seriously good buying. "

Accommodation
Accomodation has clearly been designed to meet IMS and IRC requirements. There is a designated navigation area to port, just forward of the double owners' berth. A storage
area divides the two. Forward again to port is a spacious L shaped settee and then in the bow is the head and washbasin while the forepeak has been devoted solely to sail storage. On the starboard side of the Sydney 38 there is a galley and sink arrangement, more storage space and then a folding settee berth as well as a set of dual stacked bunks.
