All about: Athena 38

The difficulties of anchoring at Easter Island make it a rare stopover in the South Pacific; it would have taken more to discourage the crew of Plume, who managed to stay there for a few days.

On the second-hand market for boats under 40 feet, the Lagoon 380 has become the must-have. Admittedly, this bestseller, which saw more than 900 examples built, has aged pretty well and offers remarkable comfort for its size... but for budgets just over €100,000, there are other models to consider, such as the Athena 38 by Fountaine Pajot, which offers two advantages: it is more affordable than the Lagoon and is faster under sail!
