Additional Descriptions

Vessel Overview

Comfort, convenience and livability is what EL PAISA is all about. Abundant natural light streams in from the windshield as well as the many fixed and screened ports, not to mention the multiple overhead hatches which also provide a tremendous amount of fresh air. At anchor, or at the dock, the placement of the ports assures great ventilation and there are custom window covers for each. Entertaining friends and family is easy with the enlarged salon complete with a convertible dinette and facing settee. Storage is plentiful as is electronic space at the integrated nav station. A Corian-covered, full-service galley comes complete right down to the dishware, and any chef will apreciate the side-by-side ice boxes and top-loading trash bin set each side of the double basin, stainless sink. The private forward stateroom on EL PAISA includes an en suite vanity with sink and storage, as well as plenty of hanging locker and drawer storage. Aft, the master stateroom has a large queen berth and more storage. Privacy is enhanced by the dual access head that offers a Corian-covered vanity, electric marine head, and shower stall all wrapped in a complete fiberglass shell for easy cleaning and maintenance. On deck, the cockpit is designed for the comfort of the skipper and crew. The coaming extends out to the gunnels which increases the overall space to include seating for eight in the cockpit. A custom console with folding table leaves is perfect for a picnic on a beautiful day.

Key Features and Performance

  • Design & Performance: Known for being a "fast cruising boat" that performs well in light winds. The B&R rig allows for a smaller jib and a larger main, making it efficient.
  • Cockpit & Deck: The cockpit is famously large for a 38-foot boat, often described as having a "big-butted" shape that maximizes space for entertaining. It includes an integrated stainless steel traveler arch.
  • Interior: The salon is bright and airy with large windows. The master cabin is exceptionally large, spanning the width of the boat with a private entrance to the head.
  • Handling: The boat is considered easy to handle, even short-handed.

Accommodations

Once inside EL PAISA you'll love her interior! The galley is "L" shaped and boasts a Refrigerator and Freezer, a Microwave Oven and a Force-10 three burner Propane Stove with Oven that is on gimbles. The counter tops are made of Corian and she has a double polished Stainless Steel Sink. There is loads of storage in the galley as well as throughout the boat. To port at the bottom of the companion way is the head with seperate shower stall. She is equipped with an electric head that uses fresh water, a very nice touch indeed! You can gain entry to the head from either the main saloon area or the aft cabin for privacy.

  • The aft cabin has a queen size berth and vanity mirror. It can be accessed from either the head on the port side of through the galley on starboard. It is a large roomy cabin that even has it's own seating area.
  • In the main saloon EL PAISA has leather upholstry. She can easily accommodate six people at the table for dinner. There is a large settee to port that can double as a sea berth underway. The Navigation Station is to port facing aft just forward of the head. In the forward cabin you find a very large "V" Berth with a hanging locker to port and a vanity and sink to starboard so your guests can wash up before dinner without monopolizing the head. The interior is very bright and airy with an excellent layout. You will love this yacht!

Cockpit, Deck & Rigging

EL PAISA is a very fast cruising boat that is easily sailed by one or two people. All lines are lead aft to the cockpit and with an in-mast furling main and roller furling jib she is a cinch to reef, and put away for the day. Everything is done from the cockpit. The control lines for the traveler, which is mounted on top of the arch, lead to the cockpit for easy handling and also keep your cockpit clean of clutter, a nice touch. The cockpit is spacious and easy to move around. There is seating for eight. There are cockpit speakers and a light mounted on the arch. She also has a walkthrough transom and cockpit shower with hot and cold water. There is a large storage locker and seats mounted in the stern pulpit providing a great view of the water and the boat!
