The OHLSON 38 is a 38 ft cruiser racer sailing yacht designed by Swedish naval architect Einar Ohlson.[1] About 128 of these boats have been built at various boat yards in Europe.[1] The Ohlson 38 is known for its speed, which has been proven in a number of races.[2][3][4][5]

In 1967 the OHLSON 38 was created by Swedish designer Einar Ohlson. It was an extended version of his 36-footer[1] Einar Ohlson was a well-known 5.5 M boat designer in the 1960s like [1] Bill Luders, Ray Hunt or Britton Chance jr. . His boats are still raced today as classics within the 5.5 M race circuit.[6]

The O-38 was GRP-produced, in contrast to the 36s, which were built from wood.[1] The GRP hulls for the Ohlson 38 were laminated by the Tyler Boat Company Ltd.[7] in Tonbridge, Kent in the United Kingdom and so were decks including the coachroof. The Ohlson Brothers (Bröderna Ohlson AB) in Västra Frolunda near Gothenburg finished boats primarily for the US market.[1] Other yards finished these boats, including Malö in Henån, Matthiessen und Paulsen in Arnis/Germany and Alexander Robertsons & Sons in Sandbank, Argyll, Scotland.

Einar Ohlson’s work has been recognized by Lucia de Sol Knight and Daniel Bruce MacNaughton in their recently published The Encyclopedia of Yacht Designers.[8]

The Ohlson 38 is an ocean-going cruiser, and many extended voyages have been made with these boats, including Clare Francis's Observer Single-handed Trans-Atlantic Race with 'Robertson's Golley',[9] a women's world record transatlantic crossing speed record.[10] and other voyages have been written about by Richard "Jud" Henderson,[11] and Johanna Michaelis und Klaus Nölters with their circumnavigation on 'Ole Hoop'.[12]
