Compared with other Harbor sets

The main reason Sailboat sits near the bottom of the Harbor sets is that its listings outnumber those of most sets ranked above it. It also does not help that the group's leaders have had years more time on the secondary market.

“The LEGO City Sailboat (60438) is a sleek and modern set, perfect for sailing enthusiasts or those looking to add some variety to their LEGO collection. Priced at $19.99 USD, it features an impressive floating hull, a detailed sail, and fun accessories like a dolphin, camera, life preservers, and more. The set includes two minifigures—a dad and daughter—both with dual expressions and detailed outfits that add to the play experience.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This LEGO City sailboat delivers a sleek, modern hull design that makes smart use of a large floating base, complemented by clean bow shaping, angled elements, and a well-integrated rudder and navigation details. The build is simple but visually refined, with a printed sail, removable canopy, and a compact cabin interior that adds depth without clutter. The two minifigures are well-chosen, featuring detailed torsos and expressive faces that suit the nautical setting and enhance the model’s display value.”
 

About City Harbor

Harbor is the LEGO City line for ports, boats and life on the water. 7994 LEGO City Harbor from 2007 built a working port with a cargo ship and a crane, and a new harbour followed in 2011 with a marina, a power boat transporter and fishing boats. Later waves brought a car ferry, race boats and a catamaran, and in 2024 60422 Harbor returned with a cargo ship and a large crane. Speedboats, fishing boats and jet skis fill the smaller sets, while police and coast guard boats belong to their own City lines.

Harbor consists of 15 sets that ran from 2005 to 2024. As of today, 7994 LEGO City Harbor is the most valuable Harbor set with an estimated new/sealed value of $1,600.
Summary
City Harbor Sailboat set 60438 was released in January 2024, retailing for $20, but has since been retired. New, unopened Sailboat sets are valued at $31, while used sets can be found for $26 in good condition.
