This is one of the rare US built Beneteau Moorings 38, with two staterooms and two heads with headroom over 6'2".. The hull is solid fiberglass with epoxy barrier coat (2001) and decks are cored for strength and weight distribution. She has a fin keel with spade rudder, reverse transom with swim platform, sloop rigged with double spreaders, and roller furling genoa. Her current owner is only the second and over the past 10+ years has added upgrades and replacements for successful extensive cruising through the Caribbena and Pacific NW. With a new Yanmar 3YM30 Engine with less than 160 hours and offshore spec. mainsail less than a year old, Poco Loco is in departure ready  condition. As an added bonus the owner, a former CYI & ISPA sailing instructor, offers up to 10 hours of sailing orientation to the new owners. Provided below is a full description of Poco Loco's features from bow to stern. The year equipment was replaced or rebuilt is  shown in (brackets), which the owner can certify to.

Master Stateroom

Starting forward there is a large private "V" berth with smaller hanging locker to starboard and replacement headliner.  A huge hanging locker is in the aft/port section of the stateroom, but can be easily converted back to its original configuration as a private head with toilet, shower and hand basin. There is excellent headroom, ventilation and light through two hatches.
 

 


 

 

 

 

 

Salon

This has it all. Well lit and ventilated with a large hatch and 4 opening ports, 6-8 person centerline table with built in wine locker , and 10 CD changer (2000) sound system  make it a great place to entertain. Eurostyling bulkheads and lockers with rounded corners, curved cheery wood surfaces with brushed aluminum trim,  add a comfortable ambiance at anchor and safety at sea, while  providing a vast amount of storage space for long voyages. Newer teak floors and headliner (2003), and settees convertible to 2 berths, complete the package.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Galley

The galley is at the foot of the companionway stairs, on the port side, and has double stainless sinks, hot & cold pressurized (2006) and manual water with an antimicrobial filtration system, (2001) corian marble countertop, a rebuilt gimbaled stainless steel propane two burner stove w/oven (2003) and ample storage. Opposite to starboard is a 12VDC chest fridge/freezer (2005) with the navigation, communication and entertainment station above, which will take a full chart display. 
 

 

 

 


 

 

 

Head

A large three piece head is on the starboard side at the foot of the companionway behind the navigation station. With a vinyl headliner and walls, sole and lockers in fiberglass it is easy to maintain and keep clean.  The head  pumps either to a 20 gal holding tank (2002) or directly overboard when offshore.  
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aft Stateroom

On the port side aft of the galley is a king size berth with hanging and other lockers and shelves, and excellent lighting and ventilation through two opening ports and hatch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 


 

Cockpit

Beneteau invented the well-designed cockpit that is ergonomically correct when sailing yet is extremely comfortable when at anchor or entertaining at the dock. For example, Poco Loco has a large combination bimini/dodger (2001) giving excellent protection from the sun and rain, a centerline table with integral storage, aft rail mounted propane BBQ (2007) supplied from  adjacent  domestic tanks, and a large starboard locker and two aft lazarets to round out the  storage options. A large wheel helm with compass, rail mounted hard-case Lifesling (2000) and strategically placed autopilot control (1997) and depth/speed gauge (2001), make Poco Loco easy and safe to sail in all conditions. A step down transom with swim ladder and shower wand makes for easy boarding when at anchor after a swim, from the tender or kayak, or when stern tied.

 



 

 

 

Sail & Rig

The current owner has singlehanded Poco Loco extensively, both cruising and with guests, so she is well equipped for this purpose and a breeze for a couple to sail. All running rigging is led aft to the cockpit for easy raising, reefing and dropping of the sails and traveler adjustments. The 300 sq ft full batten mainsail  with battslide fittings and 3 reefing points was engineered and constructed in 2007 by Mack Sails for offshore use. The sail cover with integral lazy jacks (2001)  makes the dousing and flaking of the mainsail a breeze, even when running with the wind. The 375 sq ft 120% Genoa foresail is on roller reefing. There are four two-speed self-tailing Lewmar cockpit winches 2 #46, 2 #30, and a #8 on the mast. The original rod rigging has been replaced with oversized offshore rated wire (1997). Railings around the base of the mast provide added security when reefing the mainsail and hanking on the halyard.  And she's fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Engine

The new 2007 Yanmar 3YM30 30 hp diesel engine, with less than 160 hrs, is conveniently located under the companionway stairs, which remove for easy access. It's further accessible on all other four sides through ports and panel removal. Fuel filter, oil dipstick & fillers, seawater impeller and belt adjustments are all accessible from the front. The prop was tuned and drivetrain fully replaced/upgraded in 2007 including: propeller shaft, flexible coupling, dripless thruhull, cutlass bearing and Shaft Knife rope/weed cutter. She's been pampered with a 100 hr break-in and serviced as per specifications every 50 hours. A new Morse control unit and cables were installed in 2002, and exhaust hose and water trap and heater hoses to the domestic hot water tank replaced in 2001.ou
