Design

The Wilderness 38 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type/transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,000 lb (4,082 kg) and carries 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 6.50 ft (1.98 m) with the standard fin keel. [1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3GM30 diesel engine. [1]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin and two single berths aft. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin. [1]

The design has a hull speed of 7.34 kn (13.59 km/h). [4]
