Warrior 38 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Warrior 38 is the refined, extended evolution of the legendary Trident Marine 35 series, representing the pinnacle of the builder’s offshore cruising philosophy. While the original 35-foot hull was a hallmark of naval architect Angus Primrose, the Warrior 38 emerged as a more voluminous and capable successor, often attributed to the design refinements of Bill Dixon. Built by Trident Marine Ltd. in Portchester, England, the 38 was conceived for the sailor who values safety and directional stability over modern planing performance. It is a heavy-displacement, long-keeled cruiser that maintains the traditional "British blue-water" aesthetic—characterized by a high-aspect center-cockpit, a robust fiberglass layup, and a deck layout designed for short-handed management in heavy weather.
