Sausalito is special .  A true yachtsman's express cruiser.  She is lovely with Flag blue Awl Grip and double boot stripes including a narrow white over wider red.  This late model, two owner True North 38 has the optional hull extension at the stern, teak decking in the cockpit and bridgedeck areas, elegantly appointed moveable cockpit seating plan, Ultraleather and Ultrasuede interior upholstery, and dual Raymarine chartplotters for the driver and the navigator. Equipment also includes Tracvision TV from KVH, aft facing docking camera, generator, dual reverse cycle AC/heat units, stainless fridge, microwave oven, electric anchor windlass and many more features.

This second knowledgeable owner has been a wonderful caretaker of this elegant yacht.  The True North 38 is known to have a distinct profile with her plumb bow, reverse transom, accentuated tumblehome aft, and the softest and most comfortable ride of any boat in this genre. Kayak tie down padeyes on the coach roof exemplify the active boating lifestyle True North owners experience.  The current owner's situation is changing and he is reluctantly offering up this beauty to you.    There are other True North 38's available, but none so nicely updated and in such nice condition.   Call today for a private viewing. 

BELOW DECKS is a large vee berth with insert cushion with Indigo Ultrasuede and Burgundy piping. The vee berth mattress is upgraded to Tempurpedic foam.  A curved varnished teak bulkhead, varnished teak hull ceiling strips, and teak drawer and locker faces add a nice touch of wood below. To starboard is a head with shower finished in Pebble Polystone. To port are drawers and a hanging locker. A flat screen TV connected to Tracvision satellite is mounted on a swivel to face the berth or to face out into the cabin.

Up three steps, the PILOTHOUSE area is exceptionally large for a boat of this size and includes a helm station to starboard with full size galley aft. To port there is a double companion bench with fold-down backrest and aft to port is a convertible dinette with benches that extend out to sit six for dinner and which becomes a double berth quickly. A dinette table is varnished teak and lowers electrically. The pilothouse and the fwd cabin are served by dual Reverse Cycle Air/Heat systems. The Pilothouse is beautifully finished in varnished teak and includes teak decking and gorgeous Cashmere Ultraleather upholstery with Admiral blue piping on the settee cushions. 

The GALLEY is up in the pilothouse with a full view of the surroundings and includes a three burner Princess propane stove cooktop with counter cover, stainless steel Frigiboat AC/DC under counter refrigerator with keel cooler, Tappan microwave oven, and double-basin, polished, stainless steel sink plus lots of storage.  The counter material is Pebble Polystone.

The very large COCKPIT is aft of the bridgedeck area. The cockpit is ideal for entertaining and fun on the water. Open both transom doors and pull your dinghy into the cockpit or simply enjoy your porch on the water.  The optional hull extension provides a great landing spot even when the transom doors are closed.  The optional moving cockpit seats provide flexible seating for a crowd.  These are stylishly upholstered in Regency Sand Sunbrella fabric and there are buff colored vinly covers when not in use.

Numerous drawers, lockers, and bins provide ample storage. Four opening ports, four deck hatches, an opening center windshield, and side windows allow wonderful air flow throughout. Lighting is with halogen lamps controlled by dimmers. There are also reading lights up and down, a reading light by the helm, and a light switch just inside the cockpit provides light in the galley even when all the lights are off. Low level courtesy lights are installed inside and direct and indirect lights around the cockpit give the boat a wonderful ambiance.
