Manufacturer Provided Description



The Cabo Rico 38, designed by W.I.B. Crealock, has proven herself again and again on the oceans and seas of the world to be a classic in every sense of the word. Designed with a low profile to eliminate excessive freeboard, the 38 can make excellent headway in high wind conditions where reduced leeway is critical. Over the years, the design staff at Cabo Rico have developed a number of interiors to meet the demands of the sailing public.

Accommodations

The large V-berth forward has large lockers above, 3 drawers below as well as a cedar lined half closet and has been upgraded with central AC & Heat, LED reading lamps and a 12VDC/USB power outlet. The beautiful hatch with new Plexiglass  allows ample light and air. Two Caframo folding fans and two opening ports on the sides make the V berth super comfortable for two people.

The head is located just aft of the forward cabin behind louvered doors. There is a stainless steel sink and 2 mirrored medicine chests, upper and lower locker storage and an opening bronze porthole and dorade vent. The head is a manually operated Raritan PHII. Below  the sink there is a macerator and wash down pump.

Moving aft from the head one enters the spacious salon which is elegantly appointed with new cushions and custom upholstery. The starboard settee slides out to form a large double. The centerline table has drop leaves on both sides and when extended easily seats six for dinner. In addition to ample storage in drawers the salon table also securely houses a two level dry storage area. Above the centerline table is another beautiful teak, hatch with newly installed Plexiglass which provides excellent light and ventilation. The port lights are original high quality bronze by Perko with screens.

Aft and to starboard of the salon one finds a beautiful teak nav station with a fold down angled desk. Above the nav desk is a custom teak and starboard cabinet housing a Clarion radio and CD player with two nice speakers mounted in the salon as well as two brand new weather proof speakers mounted in the cockpit. Also mounted here is a Ray Marine multi function display linked to the chart plotter and sailing instruments in the cockpit. Next to that is an I –com VHF with Ram mike in cockpit. Aft of the nav desk is a full length hanging locker with louvered doors. You will also find a teak hatch with newly installed Plexiglass.

Aft of nav desk is the quarter berth with large drawer  underneath and a full length shelf. Mounted in the quarter berth are a 110 volt outlet, small 150watt inverter and LED reading light and fan.

Immediately across from the nav desk is the galley which is well designed for the sea-going chef. The double stainless sinks with new faucet and teak covers offers flexible counterspace for meal prep. The gimbaled two burner stove and oven sits between the sink and the very deep fridge/freezer. Ample storage is located behind the stove and fridge as well as a very deep locker just out board of the galley sinks. A custom dish rack is cleverly located just behind the galley sink. The U-shaped galley is designed with blue water passage making in mind, and allows one to cook safely while underway. The Seafrost refrigeration/freezer comes with a butcher block hinged lid  allowing complete access to the interior.

With its dedicated nav desk, pilot berth and traditional centerline table, the Cabo Rico A layout is by far the best offshore layout available on any of the CR38s. The centerline table combined with the teak handrails ensures crew safety while moving around below. Additionally, with the starboard settee extended to form a double berth the salon table serves as a lee board ensuring a comfortable and safe crew rest. The salon table has three ample drawers and a medium size locker. With the leaves extended one can easily seat six guests . Each settee has LED reading lights as well as a LED bar light centered above the respective lockers. Two large sized lockers are found above each settee with sliding louvered doors. Port locker contains a custom wine rack. Three very large lockers are found below each settee. There are two large bins located behind each settee. There is a 110VDC flat screen TV mounted on the forward bulkhead. The refurbished original bronze port lights allow for ample light and ventilation when open. The beautiful teak hatch is a work of functional art that brings light and fresh air into the cabin.
