The Cape GEORGE 38 is a cutter-rigged, long-keeled sailboat designed by William Atkin and Cecil Lange, built by Cecil Lange, Son, and Cape George Marine Works since 1985. With an LOA of 11.58 m, a beam of 3.53 m, a draft of 1.58 m, and a displacement of 13,608 kg, it has a comfort ratio of 49.5. Aboard *Magic Carpet*, a Cape George 38, the crew navigates the British Columbia coastline, including the Discovery Islands, Knight Inlet, and the Broughton Archipelago, encountering challenges such as unpredictable winds, deep anchoring conditions, and strong tidal currents.3:12 They manage a demanding refit, installing custom fiberglass hatches, a new electric windlass, and a Mantis disassembling spare anchor, which is chosen to avoid snagging on submerged debris.6:45 The crew addresses a propane system failure by replacing a faulty solenoid valve and installs engine-room ventilation hatches.10:39 They use a weighted fishing reel to manually verify depths in glacial-fed inlets where depth sounders are unreliable and employ stern ties to manage swell.13:28 The vessel's robust construction and ground tackle are essential for safe anchoring in steep-walled inlets and during tsunami advisories.17:29
