This is a classic French-built Jeanneau from the mid 80's with several unique features not found on other boats of its age.
The boat was originally designed as a 36 footer with an optional factory installed transom extension that brings the overall length to 38 feet. Many buyers opted for the extension that was later added by Jeanneau as a permanent feature and renamed it a 38. The interior is identical to the newer 38 the only difference is the transom which on the 36, is identical to the newer 38, (a swim platform or dinghy boarding area) and on the 38' it is fully enclosed and can be used only for storage. Since the 36 already has very good storage in twin rear holds, the swim platform functions as a better use of space.
In addition the boat has twin aft cabins, unusual on boats of this size and age. It also has comfortable bunks in the main cabin that are formed by raising up the settee seats into the horizontal position and then sliding in bolts to the bulkhead. The boat can sleep 10 total.
This boat also has the desirable fixed deep keel, which is much less problematic than the more comment swing keel versions. This boat has excellent upwind performance and tracking with high hull speeds in relation to the waterline.
The boat is in overall good condition with some needed upgrades/fixes. Engine is low hours and has been very reliable.
Our family has enjoyed exploring the bay under both power and sail in this beloved vessel. If you are looking for a clean French-built classic, this is the one for you. These boats are difficult to come by on the West Coast and even harder to find in good condition.

-Plumbing works great. Hot water tank, dual water bladders, double sink with both fresh and raw water.
-New Raritan head ready for installation (see pics). We "changed the diapers" when we purchased this boat. We had planned to reinstall new holding but because we were sticking to marinas, we opted to use a simple RV toilet. New head installation with a fabricated holding tank should not be difficult.
