1978 Colin Archer 38 | Tumbleweed

The Ingrid 38 is a heavy displacement blue water ketch designed by William Atkins and derived from Colin Archer's famous double ender designs, inspired by Viking boats renowned for their heavy weather characteristics. The ultimate classic cruising boat, she's sea-kindly and stable, the kind of boat that behaves herself in rough water and can be depended upon to sail herself. Comfortable ride, old world style, good looking, her seaworthiness is there to see in her full keel, heavy displacement and overbuilt construction. "The kind of boat that behaves herself in rough water and can be depended upon to sail herself"... the superb one-finger-on-tiller tracking and a comfortable ride.

Ingrid 38's retain their value as a result of superior building, a solid reputation, and a devoted owner base. The owner is a boat mechanic and Captain who has sailed her from Mexico to Panama, lived on her over 10 years and recently overhauled, refurbished and rebuilt many parts of the boat.

She got fresh paint, new cushions, new sailbags, the Volvo 25 hp engine is overhauled only 300 hours ago, a new fridge. She even has a 1500W electric windlass for the anchor. She is ready to sail an pristine sailing grounds, empty beaches, surf and snorkelling spots along the Pacific coast of Panama and Central America are within a day sail reach from her current location. Conveniently located just one hour from Panama City, she can be visited and test sailed any time. Fuel tanks are full, you just need to drop the dock lines and go!
