Eagle 38

[1][3] It was designed to resemble a J-class yacht of the early 20th century, but the manufacturer markets the boat as a daysailer with minimal accommodation for overnight trips.

It has a fractional sloop rig, a sharply raked stem, a raised counter transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb.

[1] The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo D1-13 diesel engine of 12 hp (9 kW) powering a saildrive transmission.

[4] For single-handed sailing the design is equipped with jib winches that can be reached from the helm station.

The mainsail halyard winch is located on the coachhouse roof and the jib is roller furling.
