The Yankee 38 is an American sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as racer-cruiser and first built in 1972.[1] [2]

The boat was Sparkman & Stephens design #2094-C2 and was built by Yankee Yachts in the United States. The company completed 30 examples of the type between 1972 and 1975, but it is now out of production.[1] [4]

It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed swept fin keel. It displaces 160000NaN0 and carries 73270NaN0 of lead ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 6.25feet with the standard keel fitted.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke 491 diesel engine of 300NaN0 for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1]
