1984 Trident Marine Voyager 38 for sale

1984 Trident Marine Voyager 38 boat for sale

The Trident Voyager 38 stands as a monument to robust, heavy displacement, British yacht building.  

Built by Trident Marine Ltd and designed by Angus Primrose - with design contributions from his contemporary Bill Dixon, the Voyager 38 was built by Trident Marine in Portchester, England. Conceived as a highly capable pilothouse cruiser, the Voyager 38 was engineered for sailors who prioritized protection from the elements and long term liveaboard comfort over light air agility. It represents a "go anywhere" design ethos where a heavy, hand laid GRP hull and a semi enclosed pilothouse offer absolute security when the weather deteriorates.

This version  has 2 double cabins each with their own heads. Large saloon in the deckhouse with space for two more single berths. Good galley and navigation station. And workshop!

Lying Bangor, Northern Ireland and now out of the water, ashore.
