1984 Nantucket Island Center Cockpit

"CHERI" is a Nantucket Island 38 center cockpit that is a very robustly built boat with a 2-cabin interior and remarkable amount of livable room and amazing storage volume below for her length. Like many Taiwanese-built boats, the interior of "CHERI" is  generally teak joinery work. The underbody is a modified fin/full keel with a skeg hung rudder offering a very good turn of speed yet a solid and stable platform. A new Yanmar 30hp diesel engine was installed in 2009, showing less than 500 hrs. Equipped with basic electronics, "CHERI" is priced such that the next owner may outfit her with the latest state-of -the-art equipment that he or she may desire. New to the market and offered for the first time by her original and only owner.

Beginning in the forward cabin is access to the chain locker, followed by the V-berth configured cabin, with drawer and locker storage. Aft to port is the enclosed head compartment with head, sink and vanity. Opposite to starboard is a large hanging locker. Next aft I s a straight bench settee and to port is a C-shaped settee and dinette. Outboard on both sides there is very generous storage capacities in the form of lockers and shelves, as well as additional storage below and outboard of the settees. Next aft to port is a large L-shaped galley, and opposite the galley is the forward facing chart table and electrical panel. Moving aft is a walk-thru into the aft cabin with a double hanging locker, and in the aft cabin there is a queen size Pullman-style berth offset to the port side and a settee to starboard. There is also a large hanging locker as well as numerous smaller lockers and shelves. The storage volume amazing. The interior is all teak, with a teak and holly cabin sole.

The Peter Cole designed Nantucket 38 features a solid FRP hull lamination with an internally ballasted modified fin keel with an aft cutaway, then a molded skeg and skeg hung rudder, affording excellent tracking in a seaway. Think feathers on an arrow. The prop is between the keel and rudder. The deck is done with teak over fiberglass, and the hull to deck marriage is an internal hull flange, slightly raised bulwarks and then sealed and thru-bolted, and finally covered with a teak cap rail.
