Broker's Comments

The First 38 S5 was introduced in 1990 and continued in production until 1995. The design resulted from the collaboration of designers Jean Berret, who was responsible for the hull and rig, and Philippe Starck, who designed the interior, resulting in a beautifully crafted yacht.
This example has undergone a substantial upgrade in 1998, when mast, boom, spars, running and standing rigging, sails, and winches were all replaced. She is a superb example of a competitive cruiser/racer, providing exhilarating performance and an exceptional degree of comfort.
