Here is a unique opportunity to own S/V Indian Summer, a beautiful classic 1985 Laurent Giles 38, a Laurent Giles design built under the supervision of yacht architect Maarten van der Vlis in Harlingen, Netherlands. The hull and deck moldings were made by Blondicell in Southampton, UK. This elegant encapsulated long-keel cutter with skeg rudder and tiller steering is a traditionally heavy-built, proven blue-water cruiser.
The first owners bought S/V Indian Summer in 1985. Their extensive sailing journey began in Harlingen, navigating through the Kiel Canal to the Baltic Sea. In June 1986 they embarked on an unforgettable voyage to the Mediterranean, passing through locations including Scheoemingen, Dartmouth, La Coruna, Vigo, Lisbon, Villamoura, Cadiz, and Gibraltar. The adventure continued through Spain, the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Sicily, and Malta, where they wintered the vessel. S/V Indian Summer has since sailed through the Aegean, Peloponnese, and Chalkidiki, as well as the western and southern coasts of Turkey, proving its capability as a reliable cruiser. The current owners bought S/V Indian Summer in 1998 and have cruised extensively in the Mediterranean, the Iberian Peninsula, the United Kingdom, the Atlantic, and the Caribbean. Now she is moored in the Rio Dulce, Guatemala, waiting for her next adventure.
On the interior, the Giles 38 has a warm and traditional layout that provides space for up to seven people in two cabins and a convertible salon with 6.2 ft headroom. The brightwork throughout is in good condition. There are two double berths, including one in the v-berth and another in the starboard aft pilot berth. A spacious salon converts to additional sleeping space, perfect for accommodating guests or family. There is one head with shower and a toilet. The galley to port has plenty of counter space and storage. For extra ventilation there are opening portlights and large hatches forward.
S/V Indian Summer is powered by a diesel engine and has systems to support extended cruising, including a bow thruster for extra control. The sails and navigation equipment are serviceable, although some items may need attention.
On the exterior, the Giles 38 has a large, deep, wraparound cockpit for comfort and safety, abundant storage, and a deck layout suited to long-distance cruising.
The current owners are selling this wonderful vessel. Although S/V Indian Summer will need a few upgrades and repairs before she is ready to sail, she is a proven blue-water cruiser capable of taking you anywhere in the world.
