Description

The Wauquiez Hood 38 is one of Ted Hoods best designs. Heavily built and very seaworthy without sacrificing speed, making them extremely comfortable boats to be in at sea. The quality of build throughout the whole boat is excellent. The Hood 38 has a centerboard keel with 4'6" draft, giving her easy access to shallow cruising grounds. With centerboard down, you almost have 11-foot draft which makes for an excellent pointing ability. The current owners have taken excellent care of Kimla.
