$225,000

Bright Hope represents the best value of any True North on the market today. This very well maintained and significantly upgraded True North 38 includes a complete Yanmar repower in 2021 and updated Garmin Electronics Package. This particular T38 was built with the sought after solid aft bulkead option, not the clear vinyl enclosure which makes it a much more functional cruising vessel.

She's easy to see and conveniently located only fifteen minutes off Interstate 95 in Saint Simons Island, GA. Noteable features include;

Vessel Overview

The True North 38 was built by Pearson Yachts, a highly respected sailboat builder in New England. The single engine downeast design is an extremely economical vessel to operate and is equally functional as a couples cruising yacht or day boat. Electric Bow Thruster provides for easy maneauvering and docking. 

Cabin provides a bouble V-Berth for two and the the dinette converts to a berth for two additional guests. A summer galley on the helm deck keeps the cabin unclutterd and both the cabin and helm deck area are air conditioned. A modern VacuFlush Head System adds to cruising comfort. 

The famous "opening transom" allows easy storage and deployment of water toys like kayaks or a tender.
