The Beneteau Moorings 38 is a quintessential example of the "charter-first" design philosophy that revolutionized the recreational sailing industry in the late 1980s. Developed as a specialized variant of the Beneteau Oceanis 390, the Moorings 38 was commissioned by The Moorings charter company to serve as a robust, high-volume platform for Caribbean cruising. Designed by the renowned Philippe Briand, the vessel debuted in 1987 and remained a production staple until the early 1990s. It is defined by its wide beam, shallow draft wing keel, and a focus on "heads on beds"—a layout that shoehorned three double cabins and two heads into a hull under 39 feet, a feat that was groundbreaking at the time of its release.
