Presenting “Avalon” a rare and exceptionally well-maintained 1990 Cabo Rico 38R 

Avalon (Hull 145) is a bluewater cruiser revered for the legendary design of Bill Crealock. This is not merely a sailboat; it is a statement in offshore capability and classic craftsmanship, built in Costa Rica with the solid fiberglass hull and stunning teak joinery that define the brand. Recently brought to "Bristol condition," Avalon stands apart from her peers thanks to a comprehensive series of high-end upgrades designed to deliver immediate, turnkey readiness. From her distinctive raised bulwarks and teak caprail to her powerful cutter rig, she offers the kind of heavy-weather stability and comfortable motion that serious cruisers seek for a lifetime of passagemaking.

The heart of Avalon is a brand-new “2024 Beta 43 marine engine” with 123 hrs, to providing reliable, economical, and quiet power with the peace of mind that comes from a zero-time drivetrain. Coupled with a robust “new stainless steel stern davit system” supporting “200 watts of solar,” a significantly upgraded battery bank, and a fully integrated “water maker,” this Cabo Rico is engineered for true energy independence and extended time away from the dock. The current owner has spared no expense on safety and performance, with newer standing and running rigging, a full suite of “modern electronics,” and “new bottom paint applied in March 2026,” ensuring she is structurally and mechanically sound for the next owner to simply cast off the lines.

Below decks, Avalon showcases the timeless beauty of high-quality teak joinery in a practical one-cabin, one-head layout that comfortably sleeps five to six. The separate shower stall, well-appointed galley with deep freezer and refrigeration, and spacious salon make her ideal for extended cruising without sacrificing comfort. In truly “turnkey, Bristol condition,” this is a rare opportunity to acquire a premier, cutter-rigged bluewater yacht that has been meticulously updated with over $130,000 in recent upgrades. Whether your goal is a Caribbean circuit or a transpacific passage, Avalon is fully outfitted, dialed in, and ready to go—offering a rare combination of classic style, modern reliability, and immediate adventure.

Avalon is a Must see if you’re looking for a turnkey blue water ready Yacht. By appointment only.
