REMARKS:                                                           The Etap is a triumph of engineering and modern design.  The first thing that strikes you with this boat is the storage space and accommodation for a 38 footer.  An enormous cockpit locker, great non slip decks for sure footed deck work.  Down below she has acres of space both in the aft and forward cabins.  The Etap 38i benefits from easy maintenance both inside and out, a great deck layout making for simple short handed sailing and of course the fact that she is unsinkable if the unthinkable were ever to happen.
