The Yankee 38 is an American sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as racer-cruiser and first built in 1972.[1][2]
The design was a development of the 1971 IOR One Ton Cup racing boat Lightnin.[1]
The Yankee 38 design was developed into the Catalina 38 in 1978, after Yankee Yachts went out of business and the molds were sold to Frank V. Butler.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 6.25 ft (1.91 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke 491 diesel engine of 30 hp (22 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 60 U.S. gallons (230 L; 50 imp gal).[1]
