Liberty 38 Cutter Rig

ACCOMMODATIONS & LAYOUT:

 If you dream of sailing and living on a true offshore yacht with "wooden boat" charm but with AMERICAN  built fiberglass construction and features better than that found on "production" boats, then “CONCH TOWN LADY” will appeal to you. So many custom features make her a very strong, safe, comfortable, easy to sail and dry home afloat, incorporating a masterful blend of intimate space and a feeling of openness. “CONCH TOWN LADY” is ideal for two people to sail and live aboard very comfortably anywhere in the world. She also sails with a very secure and "seakindly" feel and can take more than most of her crew can!

The most important feature of this bluewater yacht is that she is in EXCELLENT CONDITION, near perfection cosmetically, and is as clean as a whistle.  “CONCH TOWN LADY” has been owned for 15 years by her current owner and a careful inspection will reveal the considerable extent and quality of attention to details, workmanship and gear, which her owner, a successful executive has lavished on her.  His technical and organizational skills and his keenness for zeroing in and focusing on the tiniest details, has culminated in a yacht that is pristine, bluewater equipped and which literally begs to be let free from her dock lines.

THE OWNERS DO NOT WEAR SHOES BELOW…another point of the care taken and the condition of “CONCH TOWN LADY”. 
  
Headroom is 6’4” throughout the boat and storage capacity can only be noted as “incredible”. Beautiful teak joinery throughout, teak doors throughout are hand fitted. The glossy varnished cabin sole is teak and holly plank and all fittings are brass. The interior is finished with contrasting paint and varnish, in a traditional NEW ENGLAND HERSCHOFF LOOK and is in PRIME condition.

“CONCH TOWN LADY” sleeps up to 5 people in accommodations with the forward cabin and main salon. The forward cabin has a large port side PULLMAN BERTH and incorporates a large divided chain locker most forward, which holds 450’ of ¾” nylon rode, plus 150’ of chain, plus there is an additional 150’ midships, under the cabin sole floorboards. There is extensive storage in the form of full length cabinets, port and starboard over and outboard of berth with storage areas under and a large, full length hanging locker, across from the head.

The overhead throughout, is white colored “formica” with teak battens.  Next aft to port is the good sized head with ensuite shower. There are 2 lockers and undercabinet storage, S.S. sink, and mirror.  The bulkhead surfaces are white with varnished teak accents…a feature any cruising sailor will appreciate.

Amidships is the main salon which features a beautiful, centerline solid teak table, which wraps around the mast.  There are 2 large, solid teak leaves, which can be used with  either side up or both sides up, with comfortable seating for 6.

Outboard to starboard, there is a book shelf with fiddle rails, extensive storage behind teak doors, and an entertainment center, also to starboard. The berth back cushions flip up to make a large single berth, with a lee cloth mounted here for offshore sailing. Behind cleverly designed and easily removed teak furniture panels, all chain plates are totally accessible for inspection and service and have all been replaced. There are water tanks to starboard and under settees and storage under, both port and starboard.

Above is a large, two-way opening hatch for light and ventilation, with custom teak framed mosquito netting.

Aft of the main salon and to starboard, is the classic “wrap around”  “U” shape configured, offshore safe galley, that will delight the gourmet, whether at sea or dockside, with rack and flatware storage, extensive lockers, large dry storage bin, 
With storage for a full set of S.S. Cookware, which is included, custom dishware storage (melamine dishes also included), single deep S.S. sinks, Grunert refrigeration/freezer and a 3-burner S.S. Galley Maid stove with oven and broiler.

Directly across from the galley, to port, is a proper offshore, forward facing navigation station and chart table with tremendous room for a full compliment of navigation and electronic equipment for easy use while navigating. The large nav table/desk has a generous chart storage area, under desk top, plus 2-drawers and shortie hanging locker.  

The companionway stairs, lift up with good engine accessibility and battery storage under the last step.  There is also engine access from the cockpit hatch.

There are 10 Bronze opening ports with screens and 3 opening deck hatches, plus the companionway hatch, with screens, all of which provides a tremendous amount of light and superior cross ventilation.  Counter tops throughout are formica.

ABOVE DECK, DECK HARDWARE & SAFETY:

“CONCH TOWN LADY” was commissioned in October 1984. The hull is hand laid, has been barrier coated and is blister free.

The topsides of “CONCH TOWN LADY”, features a large unobstructed deck and cabin top. Safe & secure deck work is ensured with raised bulwarks, double fastened, extra heavy stanchion bases with double new lifelines (replaced in 2024), full length teak handrails on coachroof

The large and comfortable cockpit is self bailing with oversized scuppers, designed for heavy weather sailing. Excellent visibility from all positions is consistent with the proven offshore capability that the sailing world expects from a serious bluewater yacht.

The mast is keel stepped and she is cutter rigged with dual roller furling. Hull color is white and the whale stripe and boot stripe are a deep rich royal blue which compliments the Sunbrella dodger and awning.

LIBERTY 38’ FROM THE MANUFACTURER/BUILDER

The LIBERTY 38 is a full keel, canoe stern cruising boat of moderately heavy displacement. The design incorporates features that have evolved from generations of seagoing yachts.

She has a springy sheer which is both handsome and functional. It is refreshing to see a more traditional style in this era of straight sheer lines, fixed plastic portlights and an obsession with ratings for the so called “racer/cruiser”.

In the design of the Liberty 38, no thought was given to any artificial rating rules devised in an attempt to equate all boats. This is not to say performance was not considered. Quite the contrary. Our priorities were structural integrity, seakindliness, performance and beauty. The LIBERTY 38 is a masterful blend of these qualities.

Hull and deck construction is all hand laminated fiberglass, carefully rolled and squeegied to obtain the optimum glass to resin ratio. We use a very low wax resin to obtain strong interlaminar bonds as well as excellent secondary bonding of bulkheads, stringers and other reinforcements. This type of resin, is shunned by production builders, because greater skill is required in its use and it does not lend itself to rapid mold turn-around times.

While there are some highly regarded designers who are having a lot to say about building decks as lightly as possible, we don’t agree.  Anyone who has spent much time at sea and has experienced the awesome force of tons of sea water crashing onto his deck, could not subscribe to such a design philosophy.  Accordingly, we build our decks to withstand such violence. After all, we build ocean cruising yachts, not “around the buoys” club racers.  All this extra strength built into our hulls and decks means extra weight. You will notice our displacement is a little heavier than most boats of comparable size. There are pros and cons to increased displacement. It is widely accepted that a heavier boat will not accelerate as quickly in light air, but on the other hand, she won’t be slowed or stopped by choppy head seas. The motion of a well designed boat of moderate displacement is much kinder to both the crew and the vessel.

The seakindliness of a canoe stern, full keel vessel is known. Combine this hull with a modern cutter rig of ample sail area, a carefully designed deck arrangement, comfortable interior with adequate storage, dependable mechanical systems, and you have a superb cruising boat. The Liberty 38’ is such a boat.All sailors do not do the same type of sailing. Some make long passages alone or with a companion. Others cruise with their families or friends. Many sailors prefer coastal or island cruiging. Obviously, a single interior arrangement would not be suitable for such diverse interests. We design and build the interior for each owner or a custom basis. The design is arrived at, after much consultation. Most sailors have ideas of features they would like to incorporate into their next boat. Some are based on experience with previous boats, some are from boats they have seen. Whatever the source, we will integrate those ideas into a functional, beautifully finished yacht.  Such is the case with “Conch Town Lady”.

Liberty Yachts is a small company, founded in 1975 by the designer of the Liberty 28 and Liberty 38, Joe Fennell.  Our philosophy is simple: start with a good design, build it carefully and ruggedly, equip it well, using the best quality hardware and equipment.
