Broker’s Comments

MISHA is an outstanding example of the Xc38, specified from new by an owner who clearly intended to cruise extensively rather than simply day sail. Her original factory specification, combined with carefully chosen upgrades and documented maintenance, results in a yacht that remains highly competitive today. The comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite, upgraded engine, retractable bow thruster, Elvstrøm EPEX sail wardrobe, electric winches and quality interior finish combine to create a capable, comfortable and confidence-inspiring cruiser. The accompanying documentation provides excellent provenance and demonstrates consistent investment throughout her ownership.
