Description: Quiet Bird is a nicely presented example of the popular Rival 38’ class. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a boat ready for long distance cruising, with a previous owner the boat has already complete many extended cruises taking her from the UK to Caribbean, America, NZ then Australia.
Designed by Peter Brett the Rival 38 was a development of the Rival 34 class which had proved to be an excellent sea boat and in great demand, in total around 100 Rival 38's were built in the 1970's and early 80's. Although compact below decks compared with modern 38' boats the interior is ideally suited to serious use at sea.
A comfortable and seaworthy boat, beautifully and meticulously built. A well-designed, moderately fast cruiser that will take you anywhere, in any condition.
