1980 RAVEN 1980 RAVEN 38

Step aboard this classic 1980 Raven 38, a finely crafted sailing yacht designed by acclaimed naval architect Owen Wolley and built with the enduring quality of kauri timber. Measuring 11.6 metres on a 3.1m beam with a 1.8m draft, this monohull strikes an impressive balance between offshore capability and elegant aesthetics. Powered by a reliable Yanmar 3GM auxiliary engine and carrying 120 litres of fuel, she's well-equipped for extended coastal and bluewater passages. Accommodation is generous for a 38-footer, with berths for six spread across well-appointed private cabins - a layout that speaks to her liveaboard-ready credentials. Below decks, rich timber joinery creates a warm, inviting ambience, complemented by a well-appointed galley, ample stowage, and a sociable saloon perfect for entertaining or unwinding after a day's sail. On deck, the ergonomic cockpit and balanced hull design ensure easy handling whether racing with a crew or short-handed passage making. Her sleek lines, responsive sail plan, and proven offshore pedigree make this Raven 38 a truly distinguished yacht. Currently located in Whangamata and offered at NZD $72,500, she represents exceptional character and value. Contact sole agent Paul Oldham on 0274 991 028 or paul.o@parkermarinegroup.co.nz.
