The Dehler 38 stands as a defining benchmark in the performancecruising sector, a position solidified when it secured the prestigious European Yacht of the Year title in 2014. Designed by the renowned naval architecture firm Judel/Vrolijk & Co, this model was conceived to bridge the gap between a spirited club racer and a refined family cruiser. It replaced the previous Dehler 37 and 39 models, introducing a modern hull form characterized by a steep stem, a wide transom, and a sophisticated internal structure known as the Dehler Carbon Cage, which provides exceptional hull stiffness by distributing mast and keel loads across the GRP laminate. Since its debut, the model has undergone a significant evolution into the Dehler 38 SQ (Speed & Quality), which utilizes the same highperformance hull but features an updated deck layout, larger hull windows, and a more versatile sail plan.
