The Sigma 38 OOD (Ocean One Design) stands as one of the most successful offshore racer-cruisers ever produced in the United Kingdom. Conceived in the late 1980s by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) in conjunction with designer David Thomas and the builder Marine Projects (Plymouth) Ltd, the boat was a direct response to the tragic 1979 Fastnet Race. The RORC sought a design that prioritized seaworthiness and structural integrity without sacrificing the competitive edge required for high-level one-design racing. Between 1987 and 1993, approximately 125 units were built, establishing a fleet that remains active in prestigious events like Cowes Week and the Fastnet today. The design is characterized by its masthead-style fractional rig, a deep fin keel, and a robust hull that has earned a reputation for "bulletproof" construction in the secondary market.
