Thierry from Boatshed Sudmed https://sudmed.boatshed.com
and Boatshed Midicanals is pleased to present for sale this Sigma 38, renowned as one of the most successful cruiser-racers of its generation: fast, seaworthy, balanced, and capable of both long-distance cruising and competitive club racing.
This example appears to have benefited from particularly thorough maintenance in recent years, with significant investments made to ensure reliability and modernize the boat.
Among the most notable recent works:
new Volvo engine installed in 2025, still under warranty (investment of approximately €20,000),
bare hull in 2024 with complete hull refinishing, repainting and antifouling,
new jib/genoa in 2025,
new storm jib in 2025,
interior improvements with custom storage solutions in the saloon as well as reupholstery of the settees.
Designed to sail fast, far, and long, the Sigma 38 remains today a benchmark among high-performance and versatile sailboats.
This example appears to combine the well-known marine qualities of the model with a level of preparation and investment rarely seen on the secondary market.
It is important to note that the berth seems to be transferable; for your information, the annual cost for this location near the amenities of the seaside resort is about €3,900.
"Are you looking for a Beneteau First 38S5, a Jeanneau Sun Fast 39, a Dehler 38, or an X-372? The Sigma 38 deserves your full attention. Designed by David Thomas and built by Marine Projects in the UK, it offers a remarkable compromise between performance, build quality, and offshore cruising capability. Still relatively unknown in France, it enjoys an excellent reputation among British sailors for its robustness, sea behavior, and enjoyable helm."
