The Franchi 38 cruiser is a fast cruiser where comfort,
sail performance and style blend together in a perfect combination.
The 38 cruiser meets the need for a definitely original and
practical sailing yacht.
Stating-point for the design is a medium-light displacement and
sound construction. It is also important that the 38 cruiser is easy and safe to sail also with a small crew.
The sail plan with 9/10 rigging is simple to use without sacrificing performances.
The optimisation of keel, rudder and hull lines in the design, make the 38 cruiser easy to manage and manoeuvre at all speeds.
The interior design includes: two spacious double cabins, Saloon with dinette and folding table, nav station with large chart table, Galley with oven and cool box, Bathroom with shower and finally a large sail storage.
