1985 Wauquiez Hood Mk Ii

Blend a design by the legendary naval architect Ted Hood with the renowned craftsmanship of northern France's Henri Wauquiez Boatyardand you get an unbeatable cruiser like the Hood 38! There are few equals in structural integrity and quality construction. An ocean crossing capable boat that is well respected by bluewater cruisers world wide.

The Wauquiez Hood 38 is a sistership to the Bristol 38.8 and Little Harbor Hood 38. MOONBOW is the popular Mk II version, and is powered with a Perkins 47-hp diesel. She features up to the minute maintenance and recent upgrades. In April 2009 she has freshly varnished bright work, new and tasteful upholstery and complete exterior wax and buff. She is ready for long distance adventures and needs no apologies.

Her 4'6" draft with centerboard up allows island cruising yet her 10' 8" centerboard draft allows for serious blue water crossings.

This is a Cutter rigged boat with inner baby stay. She comes with a jib, a staysail / storm staysail, main and multicolored cruising jenniker w/ sock.

The owner, an experienced sailor, reports that MOONBOWis an exceptionally solid boat, is a true joy to sail!
