The German-built Sirius brand is not well known in North America, but in Europe the company has quickly earned a reputation for designing and building innovative family cruising boats of exceptional quality. The new 40DS is now the company’s flagship. It is packed with interesting and innovative design elements, starting with the twin keel standard configuration. The two keels, side by side, combined with the rudder, allow the boat to stand on its own three feet when the tide goes all the way out. There are other more conventional keel options but the twins are are a unique Sirius feature. The boat has a large comfortable cockpit and instead of twin wheels, the single helm pedestal articulates from side to side, which opens up the passageway fore and aft and allows the helms-person to steer from either the high or low side of the boat.

The saloon has a raised dinette that will seat four and provides a full 360-degree view of the harbor around you while at anchor or for comfortable in-cabin watch keeping when underway. The in-line galley runs down the starboard side of the saloon.  The master cabin is forward and the guest cabin has been cunningly tucked under the saloon floor. Sirius also will add an after cabin if you need to have berths for up to six souls.

The build quality is excellent and lived up to the promises of “German designed, German engineered and German built.” For northern cruisers, the Sirius will be a fine, handsome three-season cruiser; all you need to add is a heater. Check out the video above and the website here.
