This 2020 Dehler 38 is a sporty and comfortable sailboat with high-quality sailing equipment, extensive navigation electronics and several recent technical upgrades. In the summer of 2026, the boat successfully completed a solo passage from southern France to the Netherlands, including the Bay of Biscay.
This Dehler 38 offers an attractive opportunity for sailors looking for a modern, complete sailboat with many recent investments, suitable for both sporty sailing and longer offshore passages.
A boat with a special story
The boat was purchased new in 2020 by its first owners, a French couple, and has since been kept in a harbour near Nice. In June 2026, the boat was taken over by a Dutch entrepreneur who was not looking to own a sailboat, but rather the adventure of a solo sailing passage to the Netherlands.
Prior to this passage, various components were invested in for maintenance and renewal. In July and August 2026, the boat then made the passage from southern France to the Netherlands independently. The passage was successfully completed and the boat has been thoroughly tested at sea.
The combination of recent technical investments, high-quality equipment and actual use during a long sea voyage makes this Dehler 38 particularly interesting for a new owner who wants to enjoy sailing straight away.
All invoices for the work carried out are available.
Recent upgrades and maintenance
In 2026, the following work was carried out, among other things:
Underwater hull: new antifouling applied in June 2026. Propeller anodes have been renewed.
Service batteries: two new batteries of 160 Ah each installed in June 2026. Part of the wiring has also been renewed and neatly organised.

Sails: the sails are in good condition. The genoa was re-stitched in August 2026 after the passage across the Bay of Biscay. The UV protection of the headsail has also been renewed.
Electric toilet: pump and controls were renewed in June 2026.
Dinghy: a new dinghy has been acquired.
