I have a friend who is very interested in a 1984, 38 foot Pan Oceanic
cutter, apparently designed by Ted Brewer. He says he hasn't had much
luck finding information out about the boat in general, like build
quality, comparable selling values, weak points, etc.

Hence this post. While I will dig the rest of the afternoon, I hope
someone out here might have a few tidbits to share?

He had been looking at boats like the Fischer Pilothouse 30, and the
Nauticat 33. Rightly or wrongly, I had been arguing that these boats
don't actually sail very well, and encouraged him to look at other boats
with hard dodgers or pilothouse configurations.

Any information shared would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Most definately a Ted Brewer design. I own a PO 43. Want to buy it?
Few 38s were made.

Check out the owner's group. Lots of info there although not alot about the
38 since there are very few.
