38 South Yacht Sales focuses on sailing boats. The business traces its roots to VicSail Melbourne in the 1980s; in 2022, the sailing operation was separated from 38 South Boat Sales to concentrate on cruising yachts, performance and race yachts, and sailing multihulls.
The official range includes Jeanneau sailing yachts, Excess catamarans and Windelo eco-catamarans. 38 South is the exclusive Excess dealer for Queensland and Victoria, represents Windelo in Australia and New Zealand, and is identified on its Jeanneau pages as the dealer for Victoria and South Australia.

Preparation for tidal flow, variable southerly swells and shallow, s
