Dehler 38: Review and test

D ehler yachts have always been designed to satisfy a yearning for speed and performance under sail – and the new 38 is definitely no exception.

The German company has had its fair share of financial ups and downs over the past decade, but now, as part of the giant Hanse Yachts group, the brand appears to have steadied itself once again and is back to producing top-class sailing cruisers.

The Dehler 38 first appeared at the 2013 Düsseldorf boat show, where she attracted a swarm of enthusiastic sailors keen to see if the new ownership had produced results. It appears that it has. This brand-new design by renowned naval architects, Judel/Vrolijk, certainly fits the design brief for a comfortable and fast offshore cruising yacht. Despite the J/V team also being the creators of the new, and slightly more sedate Hanse cruising range, the two are by no means clones. Plenty of input and advice from the brand’s founder, Karl Dehler, has ensured that this yacht has retained many of the finer points of the well respected brand, such as the lightweight balsa sandwich for her hull and deck, a keel-stepped mast and a mainsheet track across the cockpit – to name but a few.

She now not only sports twin wheels and drop-down transom platform (both almost mandatory nowadays), but also bristles with numerous other smart ideas and pragmatic solutions.

In a Hamble marina filled with beamy new cruising yachts she looks somewhat waif-like, sporting a fine bow and conservative beam (by today’s standards). While this gives her an arrow-like overall appearance, it consequently also reduces the amount of interior volume – albeit not by a massive amount.

Near vertical ends make the most of her waterline length and give her a powerful demeanour, while her sleek superstructure, flush hatches and gently rising sheerline combine to produce a look that demands a second glance.

Her decks are easy to negotiate and clear of any toe-stubbing obstructions. The cockpit-adjustable genoa tracks are tucked well inboard, giving her headsail a nice tight sheeting angle as well as keeping the side decks free from trip or snagging hazards. Her foredeck is spacious and the coachroof melds into it with just the slightest step down, so headsail and ground tackle handling is both safe and easy.

Her cockpit is pragmatically arranged and is likely to appeal to sailors and cruising passengers alike. Most of the sail controls are easily within reach from the helms, while still giving clear access aft to the large transom platform for accessing the water or dinghy.

Two lockers beneath the sole behind the wheels provide some useful stowage for deck gear and a liferaft. If you choose the twin aft cabins, then you have to settle for two shallow cockpit seat lockers, but in the single cabin model the portside locker is full depth.

She has a 9/10ths fractional rig with a keel-stepped, tapered alloy (carbon option) mast incorporating a fair bit of pre-bend and twin swept spreaders. The mast is supported by discontinuous cap, lower and intermediate shrouds and a bifurcated, fibre backstay with powerful 48:1 mechanical tensioner. A gas-sprung vang supports the boom without a topping lift.

The standard suite of Elvstrøm cruising sails includes a fully battened mainsail with Dehler’s own Maindrop sailboat/lazy jack system and a 105 per cent tri-radial genoa on an above-deck Furlex 200 furler.

For speed freaks, options include carbon spars and performance laminate sails, including a large gennaker and/or spinnaker.

Quality accommodation

As I descended the companionway steps I was expecting a rather stark, ‘stripped out’ interior that many of the more performance-orientated yachts often have. I was pleasantly surprised. One of the Hanse yard’s finer points is its quality and choice of interior design options and this has clearly been transferred across to its sister range.

Rather than the acres of white, hose-down plastic I’d been expecting, there were nice, traditional wooden bulkheads and lockers, teak and holly sole boards, and pleasant off-white upholstery with all the trimmings.

Two models are available – with one or two aft cabins. Ours was the former, but basically all it meant was that the second cabin to port had no upholstery and you had to walk through the heads to reach it! This made the loo/shower area fairly compact with the door shut. Apparently the plan for future boats is to make a proper, deep cockpit locker with a good size wet locker in the two-cabin model, but the owners of our test boat seemed perfectly happy with this compromise, using the bare cabin and bunk base for general stowage, while retaining the option to make up a further double berth if required.

The chart table is just large enough to hold a cruising folio and slides aft to increase seating space. I’m not sure I favour having to leave locker door lids open to read the instruments or operate the VHF, but it does tidy things away neatly when in port and keeps young fingers away from the switch panel!

Other than that it’s a very pleasant environment to be at sea in as the interior exudes a warm and ‘woody’ feel, which is further enhanced by cleverly-concealed LED lighting.

While she’s not as beamy as some, apparent in the slightly smaller berth dimensions both forward and aft, who needs acres of space to be thrown around in under way? Headroom, at over 6ft (1.8m), is perfectly reasonable throughout. The berths are comfortably dimensioned, without excessive ‘roll about’ space, and the galley is well equipped with plenty of stowage for food and crockery, as well as both top- and front-loading fridges.

Ventilation is also surprisingly good all round, with every portlight opening and a large hatch above the saloon table bringing in light and air.

New Dehler 38SQ, An Elegant Performance Cruiser Reinterpreted

German yard Dehler present its new 38SQ model, developed out of the successful Dehler 38. The new Dehler 38SQ (project Judel&Vrolijk) has been given a new colour and light concept, a more varied interior layout, as well as powerful improvements to the rig and cockpit – all while keeping the boat as simple to use and fun.

About the deck

Fold-out footrests at the helm provide a comfortable and safe foothold when sailing to windward. The new bathing platform is lighter and easier to operate with an integrated bathing ladder that features a fold-out handrail and large steps. In addition, the Dehler 38SQ can be further upgraded with sporty designer wheels at the helm, self-tailing race winches and a removable throttle.

About the rig

The bowsprit has an integrated anchor arm and non-slip surface, making it safer to climb on and off the boat when moored bows-to, and provides an advanced tack point for gennaker or Code 0 sails. Dehler offers the square- head mainsail as an option.

The backstays for the square-head rig can be easily trimmed by winch courtesy of the flip-flop blocks. The flush- mounted traveller running the entire width of the cockpit allows 100% control of the mainsail. For the very first time, all sails are provided by Quantum, including the newly developed Tri-radial AC5 and TP6 membrane sails.

About the interior

For more natural light below deck, the hull windows have been enlarged and two additional windows cut into the coachroof. New worktop colours and a more modern seating area complete the saloon. The shower cabin has also been upgraded with a clear, high-gloss design.

The interior configuration options are also new: two versions are available for the forward section, saloon and aft. Whether a luxurious island bed, chart table or a second guest cabin, the interior design of the Dehler 38SQ is more flexible for the customer than ever before.

With the optional filter systems for fresh water and grey water, drinking water quality and sustainability can be combined. While the drinking water filter guarantees the highest quality and eliminates the need for plastic bottles on board, the grey water filter system ensures only clean waste water leaves the ship. Both filter systems even remove microplastics and can be monitored using the MyDehler Safety Cloud.

The Dehler 38SQ will celebrate its world premiere at the  Cannes Yachting Festival  from 8 – 13 September 2020.

Best Cruising Sailboat Under 38 Feet: Dehler 38

• By Herb McCormick, Photos by Billy Black
• Updated: December 10, 2013

It perhaps goes without saying, but good sailboats should sail well. The German-built Dehler 38 definitely does that. It was a big reason our judging panel named it 2014’s Best Cruising Sailboat Under 38 Feet . Ed Sherman, for one, was impressed.

“I really enjoyed this boat’s open cockpit layout; it’s very easy to maneuver around,” he said. “Everything’s close at hand for efficient sail trimming. It’s a fine dual-purpose racer/cruiser. You could do the Wednesday night series, or a weekend regatta, and really have a heck of a good time. People who really like to sail will certainly enjoy what the Dehler 38 has to offer.”

“The brand is now part of the Hanse group, which includes Dehler, Hanse and Moody,” explained Tim Murphy. “This boat is part of a new trend within the company, as Dehler is now coming in as the performance boat in the group, and Hanse is moving slightly away from the performance branding that they had before.”

Murphy believes the company is making good on that premise. “This boat really delivered on the performance part of it,” he said. “The mainsheet is on the aft end of the boom with the traveler down in the cockpit sole. It’s a good setup. The helms were beautiful.”

To that point, Mark Schrader also agreed. “The twin wheels I thought were a bit on the small side, but after sailing the boat, I actually believe that works to their favor. The helms are extremely light and very well balanced. In the cockpit and around the wheels, the ergonomics really worked.

“We set the spinnaker and it was an easy operation,” he added. “Jibing the chute was simple. When you’re back there steering, you have very good sight lines and good control. It’s a responsive boat too, just as it should be.”

5. Capsize Screening Formula:   1.97

read more about these Key Performance Indicators...

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Dehler 38

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 21.7 suggests that, in the right hands, the Dehler 38 will have enough performance to leave most other sailboats of similar waterline length well astern. 

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 31.7 would usually mean that the Dehler 38 would have a tendency to heel uncomfortably in a gust, and need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.

However, as she has much of her ballast concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, she's likely to be considerably stiffer than her published Ballast/Displacement Ratio might suggest.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 176 tells us the Dehler 38 is clearly a light displacement sailboat. If she's loaded with too much heavy cruising gear her performance will suffer to a degree.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 24.4 suggests that crew comfort of a Dehler 38 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not the best of news for anyone prone to seasickness. 

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.97 indicates that a Dehler 38 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.

More about the Dehler 38...

The Dehler 38 is a modern and sleek sailboat that was launched in 2012 by the German manufacturer Dehler Yachts. It was designed by the renowned naval architects Judel/Vrolijk, who have also worked on America's Cup and Volvo Ocean Race boats. The Dehler 38 won the European Yacht of the Year award in 2014 in the performance cruiser category, and has been praised for its innovative features and excellent sailing characteristics.

One of the main attractions of the Dehler 38 is its customizability. You can choose from several rig and sail options, such as a standard or competition mast, a self-tacking jib or an overlapping genoa, a square-top or a conventional mainsail, and more. You can also opt for different keel types, such as a deep or shallow draft, to allow you to optimize the boat for your preferred sailing conditions and performance level.

The Dehler 38 also has a striking exterior design that enhances its aerodynamics and aesthetics. The boat has sleek lines, an elegant bow with an integrated bowsprit, large hull windows that provide natural light and ventilation, and a spacious cockpit with twin wheels and retractable footrests. The cockpit also features an innovative bathing platform that is flush-mounted into the transom and can be lowered or raised with an electric winch. The platform has an ergonomic ladder and a handrail for easy access to the water. The boat also has an LED light-band integrated into the teak deck that creates a stunning effect at night.

Accommodation The interior of the Dehler 38 is equally impressive as the exterior. The boat offers a variety of layouts and finishes that suit different lifestyles and tastes. You can choose between two or three cabins, one or two heads, an island bed or a V-berth in the owner's cabin, a longitudinal or L-shaped galley, and more. The interior is lined with an ivory tone that contrasts nicely with the wood furniture and the black handrails. The cabins are bright and spacious, thanks to the large hull windows and deck hatches.

The saloon is the heart of the boat, where you can relax, dine or socialize. It has a comfortable U-shaped sofa with a folding table on the starboard side, and another sofa or two seats with a chart table on the port side. The table can be lowered to create an extra berth if needed. The saloon also has plenty of storage space in lockers and shelves.

The galley is located aft of the saloon on either side of the companionway. It is well-equipped with a two-burner stove, an oven, a sink, a fridge, and ample counter space and cabinets. The galley is designed to be functional and ergonomic, even when sailing at an angle.

The owner's cabin is located forward of the saloon and offers privacy and comfort. It has either an island bed or a V-berth with storage drawers underneath, two hanging lockers, two shelves, and two reading lights.

The guest cabins are located aft of the saloon on either side of the engine compartment. They have either double or single berths with storage lockers, shelves and reading lights. They share a head with the saloon that has a toilet, a sink and a shower.

Hull and Deck The hull of the Dehler 38 is made of fiberglass with balsa core sandwich construction for strength and lightness. The hull shape is optimized for speed and stability, with a fine entry at the bow, a flat run aft, and chines that reduce drag and heel angle. The hull also has an epoxy barrier coat that protects it from osmosis.

The deck of the Dehler 38 is also made of fiberglass with balsa core sandwich construction for stiffness and insulation. The deck layout is designed for easy handling and safety, with all lines led aft to the cockpit through clutches and organizers. The cockpit has a large and open space with twin wheels, a folding cockpit table, four winches, and a wide transom with a bathing platform.

Dehler 38 (Judel/Vrolijk)

Dehler 38 (Judel/Vrolijk) is a 37 ′ 0 ″ / 11.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co. and built by Dehler Yachts starting in 2013.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Draft: 2.00m/6.56’ standard 2.20m/7.21’ competition 1.60m/5.25’ shallow

Displacement: 7.100 kg standard 6.750 kg competition 7.300 kg shallow

Ballast: 2.250 kg standard 1.900 kg competition 2.550 kg shallow

Mast top to DWL: 17.82m/58.5’ standard 18.55m/60.86’ competition Total sail area: 79.3m²/854 sq.ft. standard 86.5m²/931 sq.ft. competition

Rig (tall) I: 15.6m J: 4.36m P: 15.3m E: 5.35m

By this time Dehler has been purchased by Hanse Yachts. This DEHLER 38 is the first Dehler to be built at Hanse’s Greifswald plant.
