About the EAGLE 38

The Eagle 38 is a modern cruising sloop designed by Hoek Design and built by Leonardo Yachts (NL), with production records indicating a build year of 2019. As a relatively new entry in the market with an unknown total hull count, it represents a contemporary approach to the 38-foot cruising segment.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize modern fractional sloop performance and manageable dimensions, with many owners adding bow thrusters and upgraded electronics for easier single-handed or short-handed handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 8378.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.68, the Eagle 38 offers moderate offshore stability, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is better suited for protected coastal waters than heavy ocean passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other modern European-built 38-foot fractional sloops from the late 2010s, such as the Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 or Dufour 385, which share similar beam widths and fractional rig configurations aimed at balanced performance and comfort.
