2007 Hunter 38 – SECOND WIND

Location: Deltaville, VA

Length: 38 ft 2 in | Beam: 12 ft 9 in | Draft: 5 ft 0 in (Shoal Draft Wing Keel)

Overview

SECOND WIND is an exceptionally cared-for, two-cabin Hunter 38 configured for effortless short-handed sailing and maximum offshore or at-anchor comfort. Having spent her life in the Chesapeake Bay, she has been continuously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded.

She stands out from the fleet thanks to a fully overhauled primary DC electrical system (Spring 2025) featuring  2 x 300 Ah SOK LiFePO4 batteries, a smart Balmar alternator system, and an inverter/charger—offering up to 70 hours of off-grid refrigeration on anchor before needing a charge. Coupled with all-new standing rigging (Spring 2025), brand-new tri-radial main and jib sails (Spring 2026), and a Raymarine Axiom 9+ MFD (2026), SECOND WIND is truly turn-key and ready for her next adventure.
