*[Very beautiful and rare fifty CARENA 38DS built in Holland by the renowned shipyard PORSIUS in 1989.

The hull and deck are made of steel. The draft is 1.80m.

The deck is covered with high-quality solid teak.

This CARENA 38DS features a large forward cabin, a heads compartment with a shower and marine toilet, a U-shaped galley with a 3-burner stove + oven in stainless steel, a refrigerator, and a stainless steel double sink.

The Deck Saloon offers a 360° view, and the saloon can be converted into a large double berth.

The CARENA 38DS has two steering stations: one inside the saloon and one outside.

The VOLVO 60hp engine is from 2022 and has only 250 hours. The gearbox is new, as is the 4-blade folding MAXPROP propeller. This engine replacement increased the cruising speed of the CARENA 38DS by 2 knots (7.50 knots at 2000 rpm).

For docking maneuvers, a powerful bow thruster greatly facilitates the boat’s handling.

The standing rigging, less than 10 years old, is made of DYFORM monotoron (a more performant cable). The mainsail and genoa are new (purchased in 2022 and used for the first time in 2024), and the spinnaker is in new condition. A removable stay allows the use of a storm jib. An automatic furler is installed.

The windlass is manual, but the electrical wiring is installed for an electric windlass.

The onboard energy and engine are powered by 4 batteries of 110 AH with slow discharge, the bow thruster has 2 OPTIMA batteries and 1 VICTRON battery charger. The main battery charger is a VICTRON with a 12v/220v converter. A VICTRON battery controller manages the entire battery bank.

The electronics are recent:

Outside steering station – GPS/CHARTPLOTTER RAYMARINE AXIOM 9 (2020) with AIS and forward-facing camera, multifunction display GARMIN for log/speedo-sounder-anemometer wind vane, and GARMIN display for the autopilot (hydraulic power unit).

Inside steering station – VHF ICOM ICM 506 AIS, GPS/CHARTPLOTTER GARMIN, and radio with interior and exterior speakers.

For comfort, this CARENA 38DS features an EBERSPACHER heater with 2 outlets, hot and cold pressurized water with a 250 L tank, and a rear platform allowing access to the dinghy WORLD TRAVEL 2.35 and YAMAHA F2.5 engine.
