Brokerage Boat of the Month Greene 38
April 1st, 2008 by Carter![]()
Walter Greene is arguably the finest trimaran designer and builder of his time and SCOUT is arguably one of his finest efforts both in design and construction!! Her one owner has used her primarily as a fast cruiser. She has had the finest of care from a knowledgeable yachtsman and shows extremely well. Major upgrades in ‘06 include a custom carbon fiber spar!!
I have sailed and raced this boat which is fun, fast and safe. Unfortunately the time I raced the boat the wind quit and after hours of bobbing around we had to call it quits and go in for dinner. Even though the wind died that day, earlier the owner let me drive the boat for awhile and we got her going over 12knots in light breeze. Boy its fun to sail by those old, slow monohulls!
I also was on board for a sail test once off Freeport where we got the speed up over 18 knots as I recall. That was a lot of fun but didn’t last long because we were testing a bunch of different sails.
The boat has raced in a few offshore races including the Monhegan Island Race and the Yarmouth Cup. This is truly a one of a kind.
