1986 Pan Oceanic 38 in San Carlos Mexico $39k

Nepenthe is a 1986 Pan Oceanic 38 A flush deck, pilot house, cutter, designed by Ted Brewer. Built in the Philippines, Nepenthe was bought there by the original owner and sailed to Turkey where teak decks were installed (glued on). Then sailed to California and finally to the Sea of Cortez.






Ted Brewer’s Pan Oceanic line of sailboats started with a 46 footer (40 or 50 of them) , then a 43 footer (about 15), then he was asked to squeeze all the features of the larger boats into a 38 footer. Only six 38’s have been identified.

Lwl 37.8 Width 11.9 Depth 5.5 Displacement 18,750.00 lb
Ballast 7,000 lb
Mexico TIP new dated 4 June 2024


She is available for viewing in sunny San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico, a five hour drive from Nogales Arizona. We have been cruising her in Mexico the last two years and would continue to do so if not for health issues keeping us in the Pacific Northwest.

re: 1986 Pan Oceanic 38 in San Carlos Mexico $39k

We will be in San Carlos later this week, January 24 through 30 and will move her from the storage yard and out to the work yard. Then we will take some interior pictures, run the engine, bend on the sails, and get a few personal items off of her. She will be ready for a survey and sea trial.

Last year, we rebuilt the engine and gave her a good 5 week run down to LaPaz and back. On return, our last run was 16 hours at about 6 knots, motoring all the way. This was May 2024. The engine has about 60 hours on it.

We've been boating in Mexico for 13 years and have used San Carlos as our summer storage most years. Our favorite plan is to sail south in December, down the Sea of Cortez, and spend most of the winter in the Barra de Navidad area, before heading back north. If anyone is interested in cruising Mexico, drop me a line, and I'll be glad to share some perspectives.

It's 70 degrees here in San Carlos Mexico. We pulled Nepenthe out of the storage yard, pulled off the covers and rinsed off the dust. The batteries are fully charged by the solar panels and the engine cranked right up without hesitation.
