Welcome aboard!

More than likely, your boat is a Taiwanese make like a CHB or Marine Trader. Your boat looks like a Fu Hwa as they made 38' models. From your avatar which is very small, it looks similar to mine. But then it looks like many other Taiwanese makes of the 1970s and 1980s.

Here is the link to a North Sea 38' on Yachtworld which claims it was manufactured by Fu Hwa:

Fu Hwa, Chien Hwa and Chung Hwa were part of a three boatyard group owned by Y.F. Lee and they made many boats under numerous names and labels for dealers at that time. My understanding is only Chung Hwa survived and I believe they now makes boats on mainland China.
