550 hp engine - WOT speed 17-18 knots
Located on Kent Island, Maryland, Chesapeake Bay
Unfortunately, due to the realities of aging and health issues that have developed since I ordered the boat, my long distance cruising days are now behind me. Reluctantly my new 2024 Helmsman 38 Sedan (the first one of this model) is for sale. This is the April calendar boat in the calendar created by Jill (Tom-Jill-Lilly).
This is the Sedan, distinguished from the 38E Pilothouse in having wide, covered, protected full walk-around side decks. The decks are protected by deep bulwarks and make access to any part of the boat safe and easy in all conditions. Placing fenders, docking, fending off, going through locks, are a breeze with every inch of the boat easily and safely accessible.
The Sedan also has a large, spacious, protected cockpit, fully covered by the hardtop, with plenty of room for several chairs and a table.
The forward stateroom, being a single cabin model, is very spacious. Plenty of walk-around space.
Separate head and shower compartments. The shower is particularly spacious, plenty of room for two people (if you're into that).
The flybridge/upper deck is massive, all one flat, continuous level. Plenty of space for up to a 13 ft dinghy and lots of seating. The flybridge even had protected side decks around it.
The engine room/machinery space is cavernous. Everything is easily accessible.

There are about 25 hours on the engine. This is an opportunity to save about $100,000 over a comparably equipped new boat, and save over a year of waiting. Dialed in, debugged, improved, commissioned, go cruising immediately.
I own the boat. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
