Broom 38 CL (1998)

Sat at home berth

Type Semi-Displacement aft cabin cruiser, deep and fine in the forefoot, with flatter planing sections aft. The three quarter length keel is deeper than the stern gear so offers good protection from grounding. It is also possible to take the ground and I have fitted beaching legs to a few of these boats. Able seaboats and excellent inland boats. Dimensions Loa 11.74m (38'6") Beam 3.96m (13') Draught 1.06m (3'6") Displacement approx 10 Tonnes . Air draught with the folding arch down approx 3.2m so virtually all of Europe is open for exploring.
Built By Broom boats in Norfolk with Hand laid Grp hull and superstructure with white gelcoats. Mahogany based interior woodwork Designed by Andrew wholstenholme the boat was a hit early on and Broom produced some 65+ boats as 38CL's which is high numbers for Broom. The boat was voted "Motorboat of the year" in 1997. Engines 2 x Volvo TAMD41p six cylinder tubo diesels driving through Reduction gearboxes down straight shafts, through "P" brackets to four blade bronze propellers . These unit should give her around 21 knots or so when clean underneath and cruise her at 17 -18 knots, or more relaxed at 15-16.

Fuel in twin wing tanks outside each engine of 100 gallons each with fresh water tank (under aft berth) 100 gallons and waste holding tank of approx 28 gallons. connected to both toilets Berths twin singles forward, double cabin aft , conversion to forward dinette to port.
