Hi, Just wanted to let you guys know that the boat has been an absolute joy so far… I absolutely love it. I’ve been sailing it 2-3 times a week since it arrived and it has basically been flawless.  I do a lot of single-handed sailing and it has been really perfect for that. Not to mention the number of compliments I get from people in the marina, which is incredible… It is probably the most talked about sailboat in Marina del Rey right now. Anyhow, just wanted to pass along this feedback – thanks for making such an amazing boat!

I’ve been sailing the Eagle 38 on Sundays when conditions are favorable, and I continue to be impressed by its performance and craftsmanship. It’s a joy to helm, though I tend to avoid days when winds exceed 20 mph and waves are over 4 feet, as I’m still building confidence in those conditions.

I want to sincerely thank you for your personal involvement and support. Your responsiveness and attention to detail have been exceptional and truly appreciated.

It really was my pleasure taking Quinn and Barbara out on the boat.  I tried to give them some things to think about when making decisions for their boat as well as give them a good feel for the boat. It really is a remarkable sail. I sailed a few times this summer with a friend who happens to be a sailing instructor -- and has been for several decades.  He mentioned that he thought the Leonardo Eagle 44 might be the best sailing vessel he's ever sailed!  You can be sure that I shared that sentiment with Quinn & Barbara as we were sailing along in 10 knots of breeze.  It was a wonderful few hours.  Thank you for putting us in touch!

I first encountered the Eagle range of sailing yachts in Sainte Maxime, VAR, Southern France. Needles to say the area is awash with magnificent craft, however the Eagle 54 stopped me in my tracks. It started me on my journey seeking an Atlantic-coast seaworthy modern day-sailor. Believing that something around 10m would fit the bill, I spent about 24 months investigating, and test-sailing, several options.

At the end of the day the deciding factors were (in no particular order): Maneuverability, Ergonomics, Single handed sailing not critical, but advantageous, Stability and predictability, Ability to point, Off wind sailing, Centre of gravity, Feel when helming - which was very important, Ability to keep the skipper and crew dry, even in Irish Atlantic swells and conditions, Fun, Performance. And of course, design, build-quality, and finish.

Our Eagle 38 was ordered, and delivered, and launched on the 30th August. She is a beautifully and highly technically well built and appointed day-sailor, and one that ticks every single box on the wish-list. She arrived on time, in wonderful condition, Steven having arrived the day before. The launch was seamless, by no means rushed, and had been clearly well planned by Leonardo Yachts.

Within 24 hours of her arrival, and on day one post her launch, we were beating at a steady 7 kts in a 1m swell, with about 10kts true wind. We bared away to a reach and were managing 8 to 8.5 kts without any effort whatsoever. Coming alongside the pontoon is a pleasure. In terms of value for money, I would have to say that while these magnificent yachts may seem to be expensive, once fully kitted out, these boats represent very good value for money.

Thanks Leonardo Yachts,

Gary Delaney.
