The Prima 38 is a highperformance racercruiser designed by Stephen Jones and launched in the late 1990s by the British builder Seaquest Yachts. Conceived as a modern successor to the legendary Sigma 38, the boat was engineered to offer competitive OneDesign and IRC racing capabilities without completely sacrificing the amenities required for fast coastal cruising. While construction began in the United Kingdom, production eventually transitioned to Dubai, resulting in roughly 25 to 30 hulls built. The design is characterized by its powerful fractional rig—often featuring a carbon mast as standard or a common upgrade—and a deep, highstability keel that makes it a formidable contender in offshore events like the Fastnet Race.
