The Globe 38 is a quintessential example of the "Taiwanese Traditional" era of yacht building, characterized by heavy displacement, doubleended hulls, and an abundance of teak joinery. Designed by the legendary William Garden and built primarily by Globe Yacht Corp in Taiwan beginning in 1978, the model is a fiberglass evolution of Garden’s wooden Seal 37. While it shares a striking visual lineage with the Hans Christian series, the Globe 38 is a distinct offshore cruiser engineered for stability and longdistance passagemaking rather than racing performance. With a displacement of approximately 32,000 lbs and a fullkeel underwater profile, it is a formidable bluewater vessel capable of weathering significant sea states with a level of predictable motion rarely found in modern finkeel designs.
