Description

Founded in 1966 by Ted Irwin — a prolific American sailor, designer, and entrepreneur — Irwin Yachts grew to become one of the largest sailboat manufacturers in the U.S. Irwin’s designs were known for combining solid sailing performance with spacious, comfortable interiors, making them popular among both coastal and long-distance sailors. This Irwin 38 Center Cockpit, FREE SPIRIT, is a prime example: a robust, versatile vessel with ample liveaboard amenities, specifically designed with bluewater cruising in mind.  FREE SPIRIT is powered by a 50 hp Yanmar 4JH3 with 8,300 hrs, a fully battened Mainsail and furling Genoa. She is equipped with a full suite of Raymarine electronics including an updated chartplotter and linear drive autopilot. FREE SPIRIT’s isinglass-enclosed cockpit with wraparound seating and newer cushions, offers comfortable protection in foul weather. Below decks, her comfortably classic well-laid out interior is complemented by teak and holly sole, teak joinery/cabinetry, and plenty of natural light. The Main salon features a U-shaped convertible dinette to port, a settee to starboard, and a nav station with a chart table. The L-shaped Galley features a double stainless-steel sink, a 3-burner propane stove w/oven, a large icebox, a refrigerator and ample storage. The forward cabin has a V-berth, hanging locker and cabinet storage, and access to the forward head w/a marine toilet, sink, and shower. The aft Master Cabin features an island centerline queen berth, hanging lockers and drawers, and an ensuite head w/a separate shower stall.

 

FREE SPIRIT has been meticulously maintained and annually serviced by her original owner, and is well-suited for daysailers, liveaboards, and extended coastal and bluewater cruising. Don’t miss out on this classic gem.
