About
The Irwin 38 Mk 2 is a center cockpit yacht, well suited to liveaboard use or extended cruising. The huge interior layout features two full cabins and two heads, a proper galley, and a big, bright and airy salon. There is tons of stowage space throughout the boat.
At about 20,000 lbs displacement, she will provide a comfortable ride in the waves. Quixotic has been on the Great Lakes since about 2003, with many of these years seeing very light usage and ongoing updates.
Loaded with cruising gear including stainless steel arch integrating a davit system and solar panels. A sophisticated electrical system with 12 new batteries will provide plentiful power away from the dock for long stretches.
Updated standing rigging and newer sails complement a turn key inventory including new batteries, optional newer dinghy and outboard, many interior updates, separate fridge and freezer units, composting Nature's Head in the aft head, propane furnace, large fuel and water capacity and much more.
A recent survey is available, with very clean results.
This heavily built boat will take you anywhere and provide comfortable living while under way, at the dock or out at anchor.

Sail Inventory
Accommodations
The center cockpit layout is a two-stateroom arrangement which allows for generous forward and aft cabins, two heads, a proper sea galley, roomy salon and lots of stowage space.
The raised salon is a bright and airy space that includes plenty of portlights, windows, hatches and opening ports to provide light and ventilation. The current owners have updated the interior for a lighter, more colourful aesthetic. For chilly weather there is Newport propane-fired heater in the salon.
The aft cabin owner’s stateroom is entered from the passageway from the galley and is the full-width of the boat. It features a transverse double bunk (54″x75″), plenty of storage, more storage, light and ventilation. An overhead hatch leads to the aft deck.
The aft heads compartment can be entered directly from the owner’s cabin, or from the salon forward. It is fitted with a new Nature’s Head composting toilet. There is a washbasin, shower head, opening portlight and lots of storage.
The forward stateroom features a large vee berth with an optional filler to create a large bunk. There is storage below the bunk, shelves above and a good sized hanging locker / shelving space. A large hatch overhead provides access to the foredeck.
The forward heads compartment is completely private to the forward cabin and is fitted with a conventional marine toilet, washbasin, shower, opening portlight and storage lockers above and below the washbasin.
Galley
The galley runs the length of the port side passageway between the main & aft cabins. Stove, sink and fridge are outboard on port. Counterspace is inboard on the centerline, amazingly large and topped with an anti-slip surface.
There is a separate freezer unit on starboard, located under the navigation / workstation table.
Both fridge and freezer were updated in 2014 with high efficiency Nova-Kool units. The double sink is large and deep, and the propane three burner stove and oven appears to be in good condition.
Electrical Systems
The prior owner installed a sophisticated electrical system featuring:
One 24 Volt Battery bank plus two 12 Volt banks which uses 12 6-volt GC2 batteries at 225 Amp-hours each, all new in 2024. That’s approximately 16 kWH of total capacity.
Two Panasonic solar panels totaling 430 Watts of maximum output, with a smart charge controller

This Regal 3350 Sport Cruiser is absolutely loaded with heat and air, genset, windlass, cockpit grill and large engines. If you compare with other pre-owned 3350`s on the market, there is a big difference in the details with this one - starting with the available power. The base power was the 260 hp 5.7Ls with single prop drives, up to the largest package, the 375 Hp 8.1L`s with Duo Prop drives- a $12K upgrade. With the twin 8.1Ls the 3350 is fast, nimble and a blast to drive.

Designed by Robert Perry, the Saga 35 is a serious long-range, blue water cruiser for the discerning sailor. Offering a muscular sail plan with a performance hull and appendage package, she is nonetheless robustly built with numerous thoughtful features, quality equipment, spacious living and gracious style. She is a highly desirable liveaboard vessel which is meant to go places and get there quickly, comfortably and safely. The current owner has updated her wisely - new epoxy bottom, new main and jib sails, new solar panels and more. She is clean, tidy and will be sure to impress.
Whisper II is a first generation C&C MkI. Built between 1974-1977, the 33 MkI became a popular choice for those looking for a cruiser for a small family, and could still perform in racing. Whisper II has seen many upgrades over the past few years. She is well equipped for those looking to cruise and spend time on the hook, and with her arsenal of sails can still be competitive as a club racer.
