Sigma 38

The Sigma 38 is well known in the UK and is recognised as an excellent all round boat - good for cruising, racing, teaching and importantly a very good sea boat.
Around 120 were built between 1987 and 1992 and most are still active. It is regularly the most numerous one-design class in the Fastnet Race and there are often over 20 in the Round the Island Race.
Sam of Hamble has completed the Fastnet on several occasions and has crossed the Atlantic 10 times.
