The owner of 'Averisera' tells us:
"This one is my Hunter 33e (now Marlow-Hunter 33e) "Second Star". The "e" stands for extended cockpit. It has a drop down, walk through transom that opens up the cockpit significantly and serves as a helm seat when up. I bought the boat new in 2014 and my longest cruise to date was from Annapolis MD to its slip in Alexandria, VA with my daughter. Of course, my intent is to take it on longer cruises like circling the DELMARVA peninsula, which would give me offshore time off the Delaware coast. It's a very comfortable boat of moderate size."

If this boat is something you'd like, you'll find them on yachtworld.com or boattrader. Alternatively, you can ask your local marina for information.
It is 38' and comes with all the features you'd expect from a modern vessel like:
Today’s cruising fleet is made up of boats that are much larger than they were only just a decade ago. There is a lot to be said for the comfort and speed of larger cruising boats. And with all of the modern sailing gear and electronics available to us, big boats are much easier to handle than they used to be. But they are also much more complicated and thus more prone to need maintenance and repairs than small, simpler boats of yore.
Also in the 50s, Englishman John Guzzwell succumbed to the call of the sea. With a modest budget, he built a 21-foot Laurent Giles design that he named Trekka and in this little boat he set off from his home in British Columbia around the world. In 1959, after many adventures and several years, he returned to B.C. as the youngest solo circumnavigator in the smallest vessel to sail around the world. [links]
NOTABLE SMALL BOAT VOYAGES
Since the early days of yachts there have been many great adventures and cruises in pocket cruisers so it is fair to say that it is not the size of your boat that matters, it is the size of your dreams. Here are some of my favorites. here
A pocket cruiser is a type of small sailboat with an enclosed cabin. Most are small enough to be towed on a trailer behind a typical passenger car or truck. They can vary in size from about 10 feet (3 meters) to around 25 feet (8 meters) in length, but the majority fall in the middle of this range. They are intended for recreational cruising and sailing and are not generally used for long trips or on the high seas, although at least one circumnavigation of the globe has been achieved in a boat of this type.
Other features of pocket cruisers make them popular with recreational sailors. They are relatively inexpensive compared to many other types of boats. Often, they require only one person to operate, making them easy to sail. Usually designed with a wide beam, they are fairly stable in the water, although somewhat slower and less maneuverable than some other types of sailboat. [links]
In 2011, many different companies produce pocket cruisers. The boats are large enough to have an enclosed cabin, making them suitable for shorter trips, on which sleeping and living quarters are needed, but small and lightweight enough to be transported on a trailer. This versatility allows many boaters to enjoy sailing and cruising without the need for maintaining or renting a long term anchorage or slip at a marina. here
