Welcome aboard The
Mast & Mallet/Wesmac
38 "Strapless"! This new yacht is the combined
effort of Naval Architect Mike Kaufman and master boatbuilder
Joe Reid of Mast & Mallet. The Mast & Mallet/Wesmac
38 is a fast and stable yacht with a wonderful
layout for cruising, fishing, exploring or creek crawling.
Her dimensions are all very large for a 38 footer.
Mike Kaufman has designed a Downeast yacht with a flexible
layout. Her large main salon has wonderful 360 degree
visability, and is comfortable in all kinds of weather.
Entertaining is made easy with the galley up, and the
salon flows with just one step down through two French
doors into the huge cockpit. A 6' settee is to port
in the main salon, with a mate seat forward of this
area. To starboard is the large helm station with a
comfortable captain seat.
Ventilation is terrific with
four generous-sized, sliding, tinted side windows as
well as an opening center windshield. Seven cabins
fans,and 23,000 Btu's of air conditioning provide lots
of cool air flow.
The teak and holly sole in the main
salon and forward cabin are beautifully varnished The
master craftsmen at Mast & Mallet have produced
a truly lovely yacht. The boat interior is very light
and cheerful reminding one of a Maine cottage or Herreshoff-style
yachts.
Starting forward is the big V-berth which has 6' 6" berths
measured on the centerline or 7' when measured along
the hull. A shelf is above the berths port & starboard.
The insides of the hull are finished in cedar strip
paneling for that custom yacht touch.
Storage lockers
and cabinets are fitted to both port and starboard,
acting as dividers between the V-berth area and the
settee aft. This settee to port is 6' 6" long, and
would be perfect for catching a nap. Headroom is 6'
5" in the forward cabin, and the sole is finished in
varnished teak and holly.
The white bulkheads are finished
in white with varnished mahogany trim. The large head
is to starboard, and features a big separate shower
stall with a built in seat. Four stainless steel opening
ports and a large Lewmar deck hatch provide ventilation
and light. A bifold door closes off the forward cabin
for privacy.
Cushions in the forward cabin and main salon are in
a very tasteful navy blue fabric with a subtle beige
fleck. The cushions are reversible for extended life.
The ceiling in the salon has transverse mahogany strips
on 16" centers.
The cockpit is truly huge at 10 ' by 9'. Two large
storage lockers are in the cockpit sole via flush hatches
as is access to steering gear and stuffing box through
other hatches. Extra wide 18" side decks, 1.5 " bow
rails and teak grab handles on the cabin top make going
forward safe and easy. A teak bench with cushions across
the transom has been added. The cockpit has been Awlgripped
in the desert sand color.
The graceful forward shearline and tumblehome aft
of the Wesmac 38 hull make her a head turner in any
harbor. Her gleaming flag blue gelcoat is to a mirror-like
finish. The 13' 4" beam, full keel, forward spray rails
and the flare of the bow all contribute to the soft,
dry ride of the Whitehall 38.
The
graceful profile of Mike Kaufman's deck and cabin design
make this one of the prettiest new designs. From any
angle, the Wesmac/Whitehall 38 is
a lovely yacht for the couple or family wishing to
cruise in style, comfort and safety.
