Used Elvström 38 MS Sailboats for Sale

The Elvström 38 MS represents a sophisticated intersection of Olympic sailing pedigree and Scandinavian powerboat engineering. Developed in the late 1970s by Botved Boats (Coronet) in Denmark, the vessel was the result of a collaboration between four-time Olympic gold medalist Paul Elvström and naval architect Peer Bruun. At a time when the "motorsailer" category was often synonymous with heavy, sluggish hulls, the Elvström 38 MS was engineered to provide genuine sailing performance without sacrificing the sheltered comfort of a pilothouse. Built at the Coronet factory in Slagelse, the boat benefited from the builder’s expertise in high-quality fiberglass construction and deep-vee hull technology, though the 38 MS utilized a more sailing-oriented underwater profile. It remains a rare find on the brokerage market, prized by cruisers who navigate the demanding, cold waters of the North and Baltic Seas.
