The Wilderness 38 is an American sailboat, that was designed by Gary Mull and first built in 1979. The design is out of production.[1][2]

The boat was built by Wilderness Yachts of Santa Cruz, California, United States, who completed at least one example.[1]

The Wilderness 38 design was developed into the Wilderness 40 in 1980, using the same tooling.[1]
