Price reduced below fair market value ! The Ingrid 38, from the pen of William Atkin, is a heavy displacement blue water ketch derived from Colin Archer's famous double ender designs, which in turn were inspired by Viking boats renowned for their heavy weather characteristics. Perhaps Atkin sums it up best by saying it's, "the kind of boat that behaves herself in rough water and can be depended upon to sail herself". (To that part we do hear frequent mentions of the superb one-finger-on-tiller tracking and a comfortable ride.)

With her old-world style she's a good looking boat with a sheer line reminiscent of the Crealock's famous Westsail 32. Her seaworthiness is there to see in her full keel, heavy displacement and overbuilt construction. Her hull is heavily hand-laid in fiberglass, there's robust outboard chain plates and an outboard rudder protected by extra fiberglass, as well as a large bronze shoe casting should she scrub the bottom.

Atkins' main rework on the Ingrid 38 from Archer's original design was finer entry on the bow which cushions her landing off the waves. And also below the waterline, she has a long full keel with deep v-sections forward keeping her stable in the rough. The ballast is encapsulated and is distributed from bow to stern to keep the weight as low as possible. Rounding this off, there's plenty of flotation fore and aft which helps keep her dry.

The trade off of heavy displacement and ultimate stability is usually in speed, but the Ingrid 38 is not considered fast. By the numbers, her hull speed works out at 7.2 knots, but she'll more often manage a consistent 6 knots while cruising. Surprisingly she's known to sail pretty well in light airs with owners reporting she'll do half the wind speed up to 8 knots of wind. However, she's a boat that comes into her own in heavier seas. The ketch rig gives plenty of options on all points of sail and she's an easy boat to single-hand. If the wind pipes up, just drop the main. No need to reef. The mizzen and the yankee rolled in some, can balance out great. The sails are heavy weight tanbark dacron by Schattauer Sails from Seattle and are original and in good condition. They were not used very often during her life, as she appeared to have motored most of the time underway. The sails were sent to the local sail loft and checked over for the 2015 sailing season and passed with flying colors.

Maggie O'Katie is her original name and she is a fresh water boat only. This boat has never seen salt water. This is only the second owner of this vessel. The hull and deck were built by Bluewater Boats in Washington state and it is reported that these are the same builders that build the Nordic Tugs. The interior was finished in oak planks by the original owner. The interior trim and finish were never completed, but there is not much left to do. The galley area is a great work space for cooking. The galley does show that it has been used over the many years. The masts are hollow box construction and are finished bright and are now in need of refinishing. The booms bright work presents itself well, as they were refinished in 2015. The hull is solid fiberglass construction with foam insulated on the inside, with fiberglass sheathing over and is therefore ready for cold or warm climates.

Her decks and cabin house were painted recently with a polyurethane paint and present themselves well. The non-skid is a buff color, with the smooth gel coat being off white. Some of the photos on this site do not reflect the new paint. We were not able to obtain deck and cabin top photos, prior to the boat being covered for the winter.

We sailed Maggie O'Katie on Lake Michigan, from White Lake to Muskegon in a following/quartering sea, under yankee and mizzen and she tracked straight as an arrow, without much attention to the tiller. The seas were running three to five feet. 

The alternator on the engine is new. There is a new raw water pump impeller in the engine 2015. She has a very large fuel capacity with four separate tanks. Two are in the keel. Two are in the engine room. The radar works fine. The kerosene heater is missing the tank. There is no sign of blistering on the bottom laminate. This broker has known this vessel since almost new. So ask away and he will tell all he knows!

She really is a round the world cruising boat in real comfort.

1976 Blue Water 38

Specifications

This is a very rare Bluewater Yachts factory finished boat.

A traditional Nordic design from the pen of renowned naval architect Colin Archer. The Bluwater 38 is a very rugged fiberglass version of the Ingrid 38, one of the most beautiful traditional designs ever created. These double enders are built to withstand heavy weather and her full keel gives her incomparable directional stability. Balance the sails and her course will remain true without a hand on the tiller. There were only 150 of these head turning vessels ever built. Very low time Westereke(1080 hours). There is nothing on the water that will increase your heart rate like a cutter/ketch under full sail. From her massive teak bow sprit to her canoe stern “BOUNTY” is a piece of ocean crossing art. She is outfitted for single handed passage making. Unfortunately the owner’s plans have changed and she is reluctantly for sale. She is docked in the water at our exclusive brokerage marina in beautiful Oriental, NC. Make an appointment to see her very soon.

New Compact II head with macerator.The head has a shower w/sump pump and a SS wash basin. Water also is heated by engine heat exchanger.Mahogany wood panels through out the vessel. Interior wood is finished in varnish and oiled. The cabin sole is teak and ash. The walnut dinete table in the main salon is fully gimballed.The firelace and Dickinson Pacific stove both provide heat to the cabin. She has six large opening Ronstad cast bronze ports. The ports are through bolted and dripless. There is an abundance of storage throughout the boat.

New Westerbeke 42B installed in 2001. Very low hours (825 total) and excellent maintenance(owner is a retired military & commercial pilot). Three bilge pumps (1 electrical and 2 manual).

3 blade prop

Assortment of spare parts included

HULL & DECK The lower decks are 28″ wide and slightly cambered providing easy access fore and aft and excellent draining to the scuppers.The very substantial chainplates are mounted outboard. The chain plates are lagged into the 6″ high bulwarks. Added safety is provided by the presence of the mizzen mast shrouds at the critical side deck junture. This highly reduces a MOB situation.

Hull construction of this type cannot be found in modern light displacement boats. The objective of the builder was to build as strong a boat as possible. The glass content of the build has been increased and the resin content decreased.The glass to resin ratio exceeds 50%. Many modern era vessels are at a 35% ratio. Build strength does not stop with the hull. 1 inch thick marine plywood is used in the bulkheads and solidly glassed to the hull. The marine industry standard for bulkheads is 1/2″ to 3/4″. All the way to the waterline the entire hull is insulated with 3/4″ closed cell foam. This closed cell insulation is also present between the hull, bulkheads, the mahogany overhead ceiling and the cabin top.

The rudder is very heavy glass laminate wrapped around Klegecell foam core. It is mounted with massive bronze grudgeons & pintles. 1n 1999 a complete bottom job was done using a vinyl resin. Surveys since then have found the bottom dry and in good condition.

Monitor wind vane steering with smal and large blades. The owner reports it performs fatastic off shore.

Ingrid 38 is a 47 ′ 0 ″ / 14.3 m monohull sailboat designed by William Atkin and Colin Archer and built by Bluewater Boat Company (USA) between 1938 and 1985.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The ketch rig gives plenty of options on all points of sail and she’s an easy boat to single-hand.

Around 1934 American naval architect William Atkin was bombarded with demands for a larger ketch-rigged version of the Thistle 31, a double-ender which he had recently released plans for. Atkin took the lines of Archer’s design and drew the plans for the Ingrid 38.

The first Ingrid 38s were privately built from wood, steel and cement from the plans, but it wasn’t until 1971 that production began in fiberglass by Blue Water Boats Inc (ironically located in a town called Woodinville in WA). The plug and mold for the first Ingrid was built by two Seattle sailors James Musser and Donald J. Pitblado working together, as the story goes, in a commercial chicken coop. James Musser’s original plan was to build Ingrid hull#1 and embark on a Pacific Ocean cruise but others were so impressed by his Ingrid Sandaldust  that they requested similar hulls from the mold. From this demand Blue Water Boats Inc. was born. His co-worker Donald J. Pitblado went on to become the owner of Ingrid hull #2 Donna Marie

In 1973 the company took on Jerry Husted, an experienced Puget Sound sailor, as an equal partner which allowed Musser and his wife to sailed off in  Sandaldust to live their Pacific dream. By 1974 Husted bought the balance of the shares and production of the Ingrid continued until about 1985 when the molds and patterns were sold off and were stored for a long time in Graham, WA. Around 1997-98 the molds were purchased by Bill Ingerson and he shifted them back to Woodinville in 2000 . Ingerson tried to get a few commitments for hulls but never got much interest at todays production costs.

The Ingrid 38 was produced at the rate of one a month for 10-12 years and there are thought to be around 143 of these boats in existence as well as those constructed from other materials. Many boats were bought as hull and deck kit sets from Blue Water Boats and finished by their owners to a variety of standards and configurations (including using cutter rigs).

A variation on the Ingrid 38 exists in the form the Alajuela 38 , her hull being a close derivative of the Ingrid, built to a very high standard and configured with a cutter rig.

Buyers Notes

The Ingrid 38 is no longer in production but there are usually several available on the used boat market, mainly in the US. Current asking prices are around $35k – $79k USD. Prospective owners are recommended to contact the Ingrid 38 owners group on yahoo.com for advice or information (link below).
