The V38

V38: The Ultimate Sport Boat

The V38 is a culmination of ideas and inspiration that were in large part brought to life through the design and construction of the proof boat Victory. These features have all proved to be sound and beneficial. Now afloat is the V38 Innovation. It is constructed of carbon fiber composites for the hull and deck and internal hull components as well as the side boards, rudders and spars. The rig includes a single-spreader rotating mast for easy tuning, and the upper backstay and related hardware have been eliminated. Things that make the V38 worth taking note of: Light weight carbon fiber hull and spars produces high performance sailing. Hulls are constructed by well known Goetz Custom Boats of Bristol, Rhode Island. Designed and built by world class engineers for rigidity, long hull life, and ease of handling.

Carbon Fiber Construction by Goetz
Brad fitting out Innovation in Shed #9, Deephaven MN	The hull, deck and internal components, carbon fiber boards and rudders, for Innovation were completed in June of 2007 by Goetz Custom Yachts in Rhode Island. Goetz is known for its high quality standards and attention to detail. Goetz also works extensively with modern, lightweight materials in many ocean racing sailboat projects. The result is a masterful product, perfect in every detail. 1,250 lbs of carbon fiber equals less weight, increased stiffness and brutal speed.
Built to Last
Incorporating composite structural design of the hull backbone and bulkheads means that this boat will be fast for years to come. Built to Sail; built to last Light weight is great, but here's a boat you can sail faster than the wind. All running rigging systems utilize properly sized blocks and ratios to maximize adjustment and minimize rolling friction. 95 cubic feet of sealed floatation is an unmatched safety feature. The sideboard system designed to self clean any weed problems and utilizes ultra low friction materials to facilitate easy side board adjustment under all sailing conditions. Rounded deck edges for comfortable hiking in all wind conditions. Durable, UV resistant coatings assure lasting beauty and strength.
Rigging and Controls
Sail Controls All sail, track, vang, and backstay control lines are on deck and in easy reach when sailing in the fully hiked out position making all adjustments fast and easy.

	Carbon Fiber Side Boards The carbon fiber elliptical design provides not only lift but gives a high strength to weight ratio. They are so light they float up, which really makes them easy to raise during tacking or for weed removal.

Rotating Mast The mast is rigged with single spreaders and single side stays with a self aligning bearing beneath the mast step. This design is proven in the world of high-speed catamarans and ice boats. It allows the mast to rotate into optimum alignment with the airflow, and simplifies tuning with a two-turnbuckle system

Easy Steering The medium aspect carbon fiber rudders are elliptical in profile and symmetrical in cross section. They are positioned as far aft and outboard as possible. A tie rod system and a single tiller provide a very good feel of the helm for superior boat handling in all wind and wave conditions.


	Vang The vang track system is mounted mid boom, aft of the number 4 crew position, which maximizes boom control and main sail leach shape.

Self Tacking Jib A single jib sheet line operation on a curved track allows for fast and easy trimming when tacking and jibing.

Vertically Canted Bow Sprit System The high outboard end of the patented bow sprit system provides safety through good visibility and control of the spinnaker luff shape to maximize downwind speed.
