[[SOLD as of 12/04/2024]] Ok, this is An INCREDIBLE Bluewater Sailboat AND this video is her debut listing! And while we don't typically review sailboats in this price range (a first at this level), we were contacted by the owner, Gary, who asked us to showcase her and announce her being for sale. We were honored and even more so when we saw this beautiful Cabo Rico 38. We had never been on one, though we heard they are nice. Guess what? They are WICKED nice and this one is off the charts. Gary bought her 3 years ago and has done a ton of work to her and made lots of upgrades (all of this is listed below). He found her in Marion, MA, sailed her up to Maine, did a ton of work, then sailed her to the Bahamas. Of note, this CR 38 has also sailed around the world. The proof of her seaworthiness is in the pudding, as they say. She has done it all and is now ready for more. Once you go through the list of what has been done, you'll see why. There is nothing left to do but replace the lifelines (as we note in the video) and go sailing - and not necessarily in that order.

Honestly, we loved this boat so much and we really hope we get a chance to go sailing on her.

Many thanks for watching!

Get busy sailing or get busy tryin'!

Stunning boat ! for the prize ! worth every dollar !

Nigel is a true legend, he advised me on my boat systems, and they run absolutely perfect for the last 3 years. And what a wonderful mention of Capt. Q, I miss his tales of boats.

[SmilingGrizzlyBear-qkdd]

What a beautiful yacht it's really amazing

[_Briegel]

What a beauty, I spontaneously fell in love 😀

[danalloyd]

A truly beautiful boat! Props to the owner/s who kept it up. Love the enthusiasm from the both of you. Just found my new ‘dream’ boat. Great video, very informative on things I didn’t know before.😅 keep up the great videos!

[viewfromthehillswift]

Best boat I ever owned was a Cabo Rico 38. I once sailed her in a full gale; very steady and comfortable.

[valerieb.]

Wow! Capt. Q. I miss him. Randay is doing great with his channel. You are right, she is beautiful and very well maintained. Happy Sailing ⛵

[jeffreyhutchinsdo]

Amazing boat!! Thanks for showing her off.

[stevespinelli]

I crewed on a 38 Cabo from NYC to Bermuda, went through tropical storm Antonio, lots of repairs when we tied off but I always felt safe. The boat sailed incredibly in light air. Wish she was mine!

[robertscholz]

I've never had the privilege to tour one in person, but every single one that i have come across on the market has impressed me with the fit and finish of the build. That really is an impressive interior ... not a single sign of any water ingress in all of her years. I just wish that it was in my budget, so that i could scoop her up.

[donaldklapproth]

What a gorgeous sailboat, just wish i was a bit younger, I'd go after this particular beauty!!FWCS ⛵️

[nodogrunner]

Very impressive. Man, this boat speaks.

[Dryer_Safe]

Cabo Ricos are great boats and this one is a fine example.
I'm actually looking for a good offshore capable sailboat, it's too bad this one is too big for me.
My upper limit is 34ft. 4 feet doesn't sound like much but I'm of the "smaller boat, smaller problems" mindset :)
I'm looking forward to what else you guys can find :)

[patrickfalter]

Wow, wow, wow ! What a boat. Now compare that interior to a modern day Ikea boat. The Ikea boat will have more room but nowhere near the character. A true bluewater boat. It's easy to see myself when you do these videos as I'm 6' 1" and change too :), Thanks guys always a pleasure.

[bos]

Beautiful boat, wish I was looking right now. Wow.

Just found y'all. LUVin' this boat and your mention of Capt. Q.

[MrFloydBiggles]

Now I have that intro song stuck in my head. Thanks!
Beautiful boat. We are looking for a walk through transom. The wife and I are getting up in years.

[Kingsoly]

I remember seeing them new in Annapolis in 86 also with the 42 and 45- they were beautiful boats - but the Amel won my heart back then.

[BigDreamsBoating]

Friend and mentor at my marina has a Cabo 42 and it’s crazy sweet
