Steve, the break between the Mk1 and Mk2 is a total mystery to me. I own Hull #100 which was built in 1976 while Rick Brass has hull #47 built sometime in 1975? All evidence indicates that my boat is a Mk2 while Rick's is a Mk1. I have been on both boats and I'll be darned if I can find any difference and in my opinion there is no difference. My guess is that C&C didn't like the measurement certificate for the early boats and decided to call the next years boat a Mk2 to get the boat remeasured (just a stab in the dark guess though). Keep in mind that the 38 was designed as a large 1 tonner and the Mk1 was rated slightly above the cut off. I have also noticed that the brochures on the the website do not make any distinction in the different years. Various sources list different dimensions for the beam measurement, and again I can't spot it between the two boats. I suspect that is due to measuring the beam on deck (narrower) versus the overall beam (wider). Some of the sources list the Mk1 as being 6" narrower but that is about the amount of tumblehome in the sides. PHRF also rates them the same.

Hi All, I can't seem to find what the cut-off date was for the 38 between the mk1 and the mk2. Any ideas? I'm not buying a new boat anytime soon but you know, window shopping and maintaining a short list. Sailboatdata lists the MK2 as having IOR specific changes over the MK1, not sure what that means though? The MK3 is a totally different boat. The 38 has really grown on me and I think it's a really pretty boat. I've read that at least one or two have circumnavigated and they are a lot of boat for the money. Just looking for more info.
