## Production

The design was built by Bombardier Limited in Canada , but it is now out of production.[1][2][3]

## Design

The Bombardier 3.8 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has an unstayed catboat rig, a raked stem, vertical transom, a wooden transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a wooden daggerboard keel. It displaces 110 lb (50 kg).[1][2]
