Popular Cruising Yachts 40 to 45 feet Long Overall Their Physical Properties & Key Performance Indicators

Welcome to this ever-growing gallery of some of the most popular cruising yachts between 40 and 45 feet (12.2m to 13.7m) long overall. But it's more than just a gallery - every image is a link to a page setting out the boat's physical properties, key performance indicators and other data.

Cruising Yachts featured on this page...

With plenty of room for a cruising couple to live aboard comfortably, production cruising boats within this size range are understandably very popular with long distance sailors.

However, marina charges worldwide seem to take a bit of a hike at 12m, so be warned...

If you'd like to submit a suitable image of a cruising yacht (yours perhaps?), please click here to send your pic. It doesn't have to be within this boat length category; if it isn't we'll move it to the appropriate one.

Charting 140 Years of Innovation: The Enduring Legacy of BENETEAU

"Innovative... the word has defined BENETEAU since its creation 140 years ago." 

40 foot sailboats

Motor yachts & powerboats

We love sharing the  boating lifestyl e with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every  BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat  on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. BENETEAU has been building  sailing yachts  and  powerboats  for all types of boating practices since 1884. Would you like to  buy a new boat ? Leisure boating, short trips, cruising, competitive sailing – whatever type of sailing you envision, there is a boat to suit you at your  local BENETEAU dealer .

BENETEAU: A LONG STORY THAT BEGAN IN 1884 

The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 136 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe.

Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies.

WIDE RANGE OF SAILING YACHTS AND POWERBOATS 

Sailboat Range

We built our first sailboats over 135 years ago and many things have changed since then. The oak we once relied on has been replaced with strong but lightweight resin and carbon fiber. Where canvas once caught the wind, now it’s Kevlar and Vectran. We’ve transformed dark, confining saloons and cabins into bright, open living spaces. And the list of innovations in hull design and navigation continues to grow at a rapidly increasing pace.

However, some things haven’t changed and never will. Benjamin BENETEAU’s philosophy of building the strongest, safest, most beautiful boats on the water is alive and well. The BENETEAU family’s pride in craftsmanship and passion for performance can easily be recognized in every FIRST, FIRST YACHT, FIGARO, OCEANIS, and OCEANIS YACHT built today.  

Knowing what to keep and what to change – that’s why BENETEAU continues to set the bar in sailing.

Powerboat Range

In North America, we might be considered by some to be a late-comer to the powerboat market, but in fact, we’ve always been a major force in it. As with most things, we have our founder, Benjamin BENETEAU, to thank. He was one of the first to put a petrol engine on his fishing trawlers in the early 1900s, thus changing the French commercial fishing fleet forever.

His successors found that power was a perfect fit for the bold, new hull materials they were pioneering in the ’60s. Since then, new technologies in propulsion have always found their way aboard a BENETEAU first, and power has long been part of our equation for success.

Today, there’s a BENETEAU powerboat or motor yacht for whatever you’re looking for – from casual cruising to long-distance adventuring, from fishing and diving to water skiing. They can be found on the open ocean, coastlines, harbors, lakes, and rivers. There’s a whole world to discover out there, and there’s no better way to discover it than at the helm of a BENETEAU powerboat, trawler or motor yacht.

No matter where you cruise in the world or what port you drop anchor, there is a BENETEAU dealer close by to help if needed. With over 400 dealers on five continents, our network is a dedicated and motivated army of hand-selected, factory-trained individuals standing ready to provide you with expert advice and service.

Best Sailboats Under 40 Feet

Best Sailboats Under 40 Feet

About five thousand years ago, the Egyptians built sailing ships to navigate the Nile River. Extensive export and import networks started through this and developed international trading routes. Nowadays, sailboats are mainly used for recreational purposes. Sailboats come in a wide range of sizes, from the record-breaking 42-inch yacht up to the 470 feet ‘Sailing Yacht A’, which is the largest in the world. However, I believe that a 30-40 feet sailboat is the best size for a cruising sailboat because sailboats in that category provide the best of everything. They are large enough for bluewater and weekend sailing, liveaboard, and even ocean crossings if built appropriately. This article will look at the 10 best sailboats under 40 feet from around the world.

Obviously, this is a somewhat problematic and unfair comparison because we compare sailboats from 40k all the way up to 400k. For that reason, I tried to be as impartial as possible and include something for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a luxury sailboat for your summer vacation or an affordable bluewater cruising sailboat to liveaboard; this list has got you covered. s

Here Are Some Of The Best Sailboats Under 40 Feet

Beneteau Oceanis 40

Price: Used From $80k to $200k

Overall Length: 39.86 Feet

The Beneteau Oceanis 40 is a beautiful sailing yacht. The most popular layout of this model comes with three cabins and two WCs, which makes it perfect for groups of up to 6 guests. This is one of Beneteau’s more popular sailboats ever, with many offers boats available on the used market for sale. She is 39.86 ft long, and it comes with a fin keel. For that reason, this is a fast and easy to handle and maneuver sailboat but not great for ocean crossing and passage making. The Beneteau Oceanis 40 is also great to be used as a liveaboard sailboat under 40 feet because it is comfortable, sails great, and has large big enough fuel, water, and holding tanks. It comes with a Yanmar diesel engine with 40 horsepower, but that is pretty typical for a sailboat that size, so don’t expect to win any races.

>>Also Read: Best Sailboats Under 100k

Price: Used From $200k to $400k

Overall Length: 39′ Feet 4″ Inches

The Dufour 390 represents a perfect match between sailing performance, easy handling, and comfort. Hulls with softened and raised bilge strake, optimized deck plan to take full advantage of your sailing and stopovers. The Dufour 390 stands out as the most well-rounded sailboat under 40 feet. It is a lavishly equipped sailboat with extraordinary style, finished down to the last detail but the best materials on the market.

This Dufour model is an excellent choice for those who love cruising. Like all the designs by this brand, it also offers sailing performance. The Dufour 390 was named European Yacht of the Year in the Family Cruiser category. It is offered in two layout versions with 2 cabins or 3 cabins with two bathrooms; the interiors are cared for and finished with LED lights, USB sockets, and a 40-liter boiler making it a great choice for a liveaboard sailboat under 40 feet.

Dufour 390 Offshore Crusing Sailboat

Beneteau Oceanis 38.1

Price: Used From $60,000, Up To $300,000 New

Overall Length : 37.7 Feet

This is another model being built since the ’90s. Of course, it has been redesigned and evolved over the years to offer more modern looks and higher levels of comfort as accustomed with modern sailboats, but she has remained a great yacht. She is also fast and handles well thanks to her fin keel with and dual rudders. There are many of these sailboats for sale on the used market, with the most popular layout option being with 2 cabins and 1 head. 

The Oceanis 38.1 combines useful features, great sailing performance, and style on the under-40-feet category, where function frequently supersedes personalization. Also, her hull offers a surprising cruising comfort. Her rigidity under sail of the Oceanis 38.1 takes her further and faster, with exceptional stability despite her kin keel. It is a real pleasure to have two steering wheels, a mainsail arch, and a spacious swim platform for a sailboat under 40 feet (only on the newer model after 2017).

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349

Price: Used From $90k to $250k

Overall Length: 33′ Feet 11″ Inches

The Sun Odyssey 349 is a French sailboat that was designed for cruising and first built in 2014, offering a great combination of speed, comfort, and safety. This sailboat is built by Jeanneau in France and in the United States from 2014 and is still in production. Also, the 349 has a remarkably spacious interior for a sailboat her size, with its most popular layout coming with 3 double cabins suitable for families or groups of up to 6 people. Aboard, you can also find a bathroom, spacious saloon, and galley. Personally, I believe that the Sun Odyssey 349 is a bit small for a liveaboard. Still, I have met people living aboard smaller boats than this one. 

The Sun Odyssey 349 can be easily managed by a crew of two or even singlehanded, owing this to her smaller size and lighter weight. She sails well and continues along the brand’s philosophy of building quick and nimble cruising yachts providing entertaining yet safe sailing.

Also, the boat comes with a Yanmar diesel engine of 21 horsepower suitable for docking and maneuvering. Lastly, the fresh water tank has a capacity of 54 US Gallons, the fuel tank of 34 US Gallons, and the wastewater holding tank of 22 US Gallons.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349

Price: Used From $30k to $120k

Overall Length: 35.92 ft

The Hunter 36 is an American-Made sailboat designed as a cruising sailboat and first built in 1980. Newer versions of this boat are still being made today. It is a Bilge Keel boat and is a good example of how a well-built quick cruising sailboat should be built. Despite the useful bilge keels, this beautiful family cruising sailboat has a good turn of speed and an excellent ability to explore creeks and dry out. The Hunter 36 has an extra-wide beam spanning nearly the entire length of the boat to maximize both headroom and interior accommodations.

Also, her large cockpit gives you loads of room when sailing and lots of comforts when you are ready to sit back and relax. The most popular layout design features two double cabins, one forward and one aft, and a head with a shower. If you are a cruising couple looking for an affordable liveaboard sailboat under 40 feet, you should definitely take a look at this one. 

2005 Hunter 36 Sailboat

Catalina 36

Price: Used From $30k to $150k

Overall Length: 35.58 ft

This is another very popular sailboat from a very popular brand, especially in the US. The Catalina 36 is an American-made sailboat designed by Frank Butler and Gerry Douglas for cruising and was first built in 1982. This sailboat version was introduced in 1994 and produced until 2005, when it was replaced by the Catalina 375. Catalina made over 2,300 of these boats, many of which are on sale today for very affordable prices.

This sailboat is a very fast and seaworthy family cruiser with a spacious cockpit that can easily be used singlehanded since all trim lines and halyards lead to the cockpit. The fin keel and spade rudder allow for easy maneuverability in tight marinas; however, it does not make a great boat for offshore bluewater cruising and passage-making.

The interior space is lovely, with high-quality materials and teak carpentry throughout. Also, thanks to its big U-shaped galley, two-burner natural gas stove and oven, large stainless steel sink, a spacious top-loading refrigerator, plenty of counter space, and generous storage make the Catalina 36 an excellent option for a liveaboard sailboat.

Bavaria Cruiser 37

Price: Used From $60k to $220k

Overall Length: 37 Feet 1 Inches

The Cruiser 37 is a series sailing yacht from the German manufacturer Bavaria Yachtbau. It is a cruising sailboat for sailors who like to move fast through the water but also seek a high level of comfort for their vacation. On the inside, the Cruiser 37 seems bigger than you would expect from a sailboat under 40 feet with more storage spaces that one could think it would also work as a liveaboard. This is a very popular sailboat that Bavaria started building in the early 2000s’ and is still being produced. 

There are two versions of the keel; a shallow keel with a 5 Feet draft and a normal version with a 6 feet draft. There is also a standard version with two cabins that sleep 4 people and a charter version with three cabins that sleep 6.

In the saloon, you will find the L-shaped galley on the starboard side. This is followed by the seating bench with the saloon table. Opposite to port is also a seating assembly, the third seat of which can be pulled out. If it is lowered, you can sit in front of a navigation table. This should create space for six people in the saloon.

Price: Used From $25k to $250k

Overall Length: 35 Feet

The Dehler 34 was first introduced in 1986. The boat’s overall length is 35 feet and 1.2 inches and costs from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on the built year. This boat was an awardee of the “Best Performance Cruiser” in the “Boat of the Year” (BOTY) contest in 2017. The Dehler 34 sets high standards with its interior space and built quality. It has a spacious living area for liveaboards, a pull-out bar, premium lighting, and an elegant ambiance to indulge you throughout your cruise. The Dehler 34 showcases generous headroom, tank sizes and offers an outstanding sailing performance.

Designed by a naval- architecture consortium- Judel/Vrolijk, the Dehler 34 is sturdy, stable, and strong, making sailing safer and letting you sail higher into the wind. However, the Dehler 34 comes with a fin keel, which doesn’t make it ideal for passage making. There is a long argument to be had here, but I prefer bluewater sailboats to have full keels.

40 Best Sailboats

  • By Cruising World Editors
  • Updated: April 18, 2019

Sailors are certainly passionate about their boats, and if you doubt that bold statement, try posting an article dubbed “ 40 Best Sailboats ” and see what happens.

Barely had the list gone live, when one reader responded, “Where do I begin? So many glaring omissions!” Like scores of others, he listed a number of sailboats and brands that we were too stupid to think of, but unlike some, he did sign off on a somewhat upbeat note: “If it weren’t for the presence of the Bermuda 40 in Cruising World’s list, I wouldn’t even have bothered to vote.”

By vote, he means that he, like hundreds of other readers, took the time to click through to an accompanying page where we asked you to help us reshuffle our alphabetical listing of noteworthy production sailboats so that we could rank them instead by popularity. So we ask you to keep in mind that this list of the best sailboats was created by our readers.

The quest to building this list all began with such a simple question, one that’s probably been posed at one time or another in any bar where sailors meet to raise a glass or two: If you had to pick, what’re the best sailboats ever built?

In no time, a dozen or more from a variety of sailboat manufacturers were on the table and the debate was on. And so, having fun with it, we decided to put the same question to a handful of CW ‘s friends: writers and sailors and designers and builders whose opinions we value. Their favorites poured in and soon an inkling of a list began to take shape. To corral things a bit and avoid going all the way back to Joshua Slocum and his venerable Spray —Hell, to Noah and his infamous Ark —we decided to focus our concentration on production monohull sailboats, which literally opened up the sport to anyone who wanted to get out on the water. And since CW is on the verge or turning 40, we decided that would be a nice round number at which to draw the line and usher in our coming ruby anniversary.

If you enjoy scrolling through this list, which includes all types of sailboats, then perhaps you would also be interested in browsing our list of the Best Cruising Sailboats . Check it out and, of course, feel free to add your favorite boat, too. Here at Cruising World , we like nothing better than talking about boats, and it turns out, so do you.

The best bluewater sailboats under 40 feet (we analyzed 2,000 boats to find out)

By Author Fiona McGlynn

Posted on Last updated: August 17, 2023

What are the best bluewater sailboats under 40 feet?

Last year we analyzed 2,000 offshore designs to bring you a list of the most popular bluewater sailboats .

However, most people are searching for a boat in a particular size class. So, we decided to do a double-click and look at the best sailboats under 40 feet for offshore sailing.

If you’re interested in an even smaller boat, there are plenty of great options under 30 feet in our list of the best small sailboats for sailing around the world .

The characteristics that make a sailboat a bluewater sailboat are a hotly debated topic, so we wanted to use real-world data and find out what cruisers are using to cross oceans and sail around the world.

We looked at 2,000 boats that entered the Pacific Puddle Jump  (PPJ) over the last 12 years. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the PPJ, it’s a rally that crosses the Pacific ocean.  We took part in 2017 and had a ball!

Also, if you’re looking to buy one of the bluewater boats on this list, you might want to check out our post on the best places to buy used boats and how to find free or cheap boats for sale .

Just be aware that a bluewater boat isn’t necessarily offshore-ready. Our top five picks are all older boats and will undoubtedly require work.

Every cruiser we know made substantial repairs and additions before going offshore: adding watermakers , life rafts, solar panels, and more.

Also, always have a boat inspected by a professional and accredited marine surveyor before buying it or taking it offshore.

So, without further preamble, here are the best bluewater sailboats under 40 feet.

The best bluewater sailboats under 40 feet

1. the westsail 32.

Westsail 32 sailboat

The Westsail 32 is one of the most iconic bluewater cruisers. Built by the Westsail Corporation in the 1970s, this plucky, small sailboat has developed a cult following over the decades. Since 2009, 19 have set out to cross the Pacific in the PPJ rallies.

The Westsail 32 is known for its sturdy construction, seaworthiness, and classic looks. In fact, it set the standard for what a real bluewater cruiser should look like. In 1973, the Westsail 32 was featured in Time magazine and inspired many Americans to go cruising.

Though popular, this boat has earned the unenviable nickname “ Wetsnail 32″, a reference to its poor ability to windward and sluggish performance. But Westsail 32 owners don’t care that they won’t be winning any races.

What the boat lacks in speed it makes up for in classic looks and excellent offshore cruising characteristics. Many owners have crossed oceans and circumnavigated the globe in their Westsail 32s.

2. Tayana 37

Tayana 37 sailboat

The Tayana 37 is a wildly popular Bob Perry design. It first rolled off the production line in 1976 and there are now several hundred of them sailing the world’s oceans.

Above the waterline, the Tayana 37 boasts beautiful traditional lines. However, Perry wanted to avoid the unenviable (read: sluggish) performance characteristics, associated with double-enders.

So, he designed the Tayana 37 with a cut-away long keel and moderate displacement, maintaining the classic look, while achieving reasonable performance.

The Tayana 37 has a devoted following of offshore enthusiasts. Since 2009, 12 Tayana 37s have set out to cross the Pacific in the PPJ rallies.

3. Hans Christian 38T

Black and white photo of Hans Christian 38T Sailboat

The Hans Christian 38T is a full-keeled, heavy displacement bluewater boat with a long bowsprit and a clipper bow, giving it a distinctive appearance. It was first introduced in 1976 and was produced until the early 1990s.

If you hadn’t already guessed, the “T” in the name stands for “Traditional”. Like many boats on this list, it takes a cue from Crealock’s famous Westsail 32 which sparked a craze in the 1970s and 80s for Scandinavian-style doubled-enders.

It’s gained a reputation as a capable and seaworthy cruising yacht. Many owners have crossed oceans and completed circumnavigations in Hans Christian 38Ts.

By our count, eight Hans Christian 38Ts have participated in Pacific Puddle Jump rallies over the last 12 years.

4. Island Packet 380

Drawing of Island Packet 380 sailboat

I’ve always considered Island Packets the Rolls-Royce of the bluewater boat world. Their distinctive cream-colored topsides make them easy to spot and their robust bluewater construction makes them the envy of many far-flung anchorages.

Designed by Bob Johnson and built by Island Packet Yachts in Florida, the Island Packet 380 was first introduced in 1998. 169 were built before 2004, over which time it gained a reputation as a capable and comfortable offshore cruiser.

Having been built in the ’90s and early 2000s, this is a relatively newer boat. In many ways, it offers the best of both worlds, a classic-looking boat with all the modern cruising conveniences.

The Island Packet 380 design prioritizes safety and stability. It also has several offshore features including standard twin bow rollers, a divided anchor locker, and ample storage for cruising gear.

Life below deck is comfortable too. With a 13-foot (4 meter) beam there’s plenty of room for liveaboard amenities.

The Island Packet 380 is a popular choice for long-distance cruising and offshore passages. Since 2009, six Island Packet 380s have set out to cross the Pacific in PPJ rallies.

5. Ingrid 38

The Ingrid 38 is a double-ended sailboat that was originally designed for wood construction in 1938.

In 1971, Bluewater Boat Co. began building a fiberglass version. The design proved hugely popular and more than 140 were built.

With a full keep and heavy displacement, the Ingrid 38 epitomizes the traditional bluewater cruiser. Yet, it remains a well-loved design today. Since 2009, six Ingrid 38s have set out to cross the Pacific in PPJ rallies.

10 of the Best Bluewater Sailboats Under 40 Feet

Best Bluewater Sailboats under 40 feet Hallberg-Rassy 372

Navigating the open seas requires a model that combines performance, safety, and comfort. For sailors seeking adventure beyond the horizon, choosing the right bluewater sailboa t is paramount. In this article, we’ll delve into the technical specifications and features of 10 of the best bluewater sailboats, both monohulls and catamarans, all under 40 feet in length.

Hallberg-Rassy 372

Length: 37’6″.

Best Bluewater Sailboats under 40 feet: Hallberg-Rassy 372

The Hallberg-Rassy 372 was built in 120 units and is optimized for comfortable and fast family cruising. She will take you anywhere, anytime. Compared to the Hallberg-Rassy 37, the 372 is only a few centimetres longer, is 5 cm wider and has a fuller transom. The canoe body is slightly shallower, the waterline longer and the keel slightly deeper and lighter. The aft and mid sections of the hull are flatter and the bow section sharper. The sheer line is more pronounced. All this gives both improved sailing performance and more interior space. The modern sailplan is easy to handle. The yacht breathes graceful elegance.

Hallberg-Rassy may be best known for its centre cockpit boats, but over 5 900 of so far 9 700 built Hallberg-Rassys have an aft cockpit. The aft cockpit 372 is in every aspect an all-new Frers design and is not based on the centre cockpit Hallberg-Rassy 37.

The boat features a moderate draft, allowing it to navigate a variety of water depths with ease. The combination of a long waterline and a well-balanced sail plan contributes to its impressive performance under sail. The Hallberg-Rassy 372’s deck layout is thoughtfully designed for single-handed sailing, with well-positioned winches and control lines.

Stepping below deck, the Hallberg-Rassy 372 welcomes sailors into a spacious and well-appointed interior. The layout is designed with extended bluewater cruising in mind, offering comfort and practicality. The main saloon features a U-shaped settee around a large dining table, providing a cozy space for meals and relaxation.

The Outremer 4X stands as a performance catamaran unwavering in its commitment to seaworthiness, staying true to its ocean cruising heritage. Its construction prioritizes weight optimization without compromising on structural integrity. The sail plan and deck layout are meticulously designed to navigate diverse weather conditions seamlessly.

Maintaining the comfort standards set by its predecessor, the Outremer 45, the Outremer 4X goes beyond, pushing the limits of performance for an ocean cruiser. Whether embarking on blue-water cruising adventures with the family or engaging in competitive regattas, the Outremer 4X excels in both realms, showcasing its versatility and capability to meet the demands of various sailing pursuits.

Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37

Length: 37’10”.

Best Bluewater sailboats under 40 feet Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37

The Pacific Seacraft 37, commonly referred to as the Crealock 37, is an American sailboat meticulously designed by the esteemed British naval architect, W. I. B.

The initial construction of this sailboat commenced in 1978, marking the inception of a vessel renowned for its seafaring capabilities and thoughtful design.

Recognizing its exceptional contribution to sailing, the Crealock 37 earned a prestigious spot in the American Sailboat Hall of Fame in 2002, solidifying its legacy as a vessel of timeless significance within the maritime community.

The Crealock 37, a keelboat primarily constructed with a fiberglass hull featuring a plywood core and adorned with wooden accents, presents a versatile sailing experience. Its masthead sloop rig is complemented by optional configurations, including a cutter rig or yawl rig with a mizzen mast. The vessel boasts a distinctive design, featuring a raked stem, a raised canoe transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel, and a fixed fin keel. With a displacement of 16,200 lb (7,348 kg) and a substantial 6,200 lb (2,812 kg) of lead ballast, the Crealock 37 ensures stability and seaworthiness.

Offering flexibility, the boat provides a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel and 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.

Designed to accommodate up to seven individuals, the Crealock 37 features a versatile layout. The bow offers an angled “V” berth, the main salon provides a double and single settee berth, and the stern houses a double berth alongside a quarter berth. The galley, located on the starboard side at the foot of the companionway steps, includes a double sink, a three-burner stove and oven, and a top-loading refrigerator. The head, positioned forward on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin, includes a shower. A navigation station is thoughtfully provided aft on the port side, and the vessel ensures ample below-deck headroom of 75 in (191 cm). Ventilation is facilitated by two cabin hatches.

For sailing convenience, the jib is sheeted to short jib tracks, while the mainsheet traveler and three winches are mounted on the coach house roof. Additionally, two primary jib winches are strategically placed on the cockpit coamings.

Length: 37″11′

Best Bluewater sailboats under 40 feet Lagoon 380

The Lagoon 380, a French sailboat designed by Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost, serves the dual purpose of a cruiser and a yacht charter vessel. This versatile watercraft made its debut in the sailing scene in 1999.

The Lagoon 380 offers a flexible accommodation layout, featuring either three or four cabins designed for private use or yacht charter ventures. In both configurations, a spacious main salon welcomes occupants with an oval table and U-shaped seating. Positioned in the aft starboard section of the main salon, the galley is well-appointed, equipped with a two-burner stove, an icebox, and a double sink. A navigation station complements the galley on the port side of the salon.

In the four-cabin arrangement, each hull houses a double berth fore and aft, accompanied by a centrally located head. The three-cabin layout opts for a larger head in the starboard forward cabin while retaining the port side head. Maximum headroom reaches 80 inches (203 cm) in the main salon and 74 inches (188 cm) in the cabins.

Designed for optimal downwind sailing, the vessel can be outfitted with a 570 sq ft (53 m2) asymmetrical gennaker. The Lagoon 380 exhibits a hull speed of 8.05 knots (14.91 km/h).

Introduced in 2003, the S2 model brought forth several minor enhancements. Notable improvements included a more spacious shower area, enhanced storage shelving, a redesigned galley, and a double helm seat. While Katamarans.com acknowledges these updates, noting them as a marketing refresh, some potential buyers express a preference for the older models due to their increased storage capacity, superior interior finishes, and more straightforward engine access.

Category Catamarans

Posted Over 1 Month

2009 Admiral Executive 40 Extended Owner's Version KAISOSI is the best equipped and most effectively customized Admiral Executive 40 ever built.   The builder's concept was to build a top tier fully equipped boat instead of building a base catamaran and adding options,  but KAISOSI's owners ordered her upgraded even above the factory specifications.  After an extended shakedown cruise, and with the help of designer Angelo Lavranos, the hulls were extended over 3 feet to increase speed and load carrying capacity. The keels were lengthened and enlarged to improve strength and performance, and the rudders were streamlined  to improve balance and responsiveness. The owners have spared no expense to make KAISOSI a safe, comfortable, self sufficient, and easy to handle world cruising catamaran. This boat has been home for the owners since new,  and has taken them from the African coast to South America, the Amazon River, French Guyana, Trinidad, Eastern Caribbean and the Bahamas.   FEATURES: 3 ft+ Professionally Extended hulls for better load carrying, speed and comfort. Enlarged keels for better performance Modified rudders for improved steering Massive Solar Power 800W Two Wind generators Ferris water generator 800 Ah Lithium batteries Genset and AC Full electronics with redundancy Water

CQR and 33 Bruce anchors and rope chain Simpson Lawrence chain / rope windless 2 8D Gel Batteries and Separate Starting Battery Back up High Capacity Bilge Pump PHI /PSS Shaft Seal Accommodations Number of single berths: 6 Manufacturer Provided Description: The specification for the Oceanis 40CC: the design of an ideal long-distance cruising yacht for a couple, but with the capability of accommodating four or five people in the greatest comfort. Being on board a powerful, reliable boat that also has high performance is an essential part of the pleasure of cruising. The Oceanis 40CC's hull is remarkable for its long waterline, big volumes and efficient wing-bulb keel. As far as her construction is concerned, there are no compromises: the structural inner mounding, glued and laminated to the hull, distributes any stresses from the rigging and keel. This technology combines reliability and strength and also provides perfectly finished locker interiors that are easy to maintain. One of the principal advantages of a central cockpit is the incomparable safety derived from the height of the cockpit, which is surrounded on all sides. There is a step of the coaming on the Oceanis 40CC to make it easier to get up the two teak-covered bench seats in the cockpit. There is a wheel mounted pedestal in the middle of the cockpit. Genoa and mainsail halyards and the lines for the two furlers are brought back onto powerful stoppers that free the halyard winch, whenever necessary. All handling lines are to hand. The Oceanis 40CC's deck is totally logical, simple and efficient, with steps in the transom (standard bathing ladder), liferaft fixing point on aft coachroof, solid aluminum bulwark the full length of the hull, as well as an aluminum rubbing strake. The numerous opening hatches and Dorade vents are positioned in such a way so as not to impede movement on deck. The chainplates for the upper and lower shrouds, which are positioned right against the coachroof, also leave the side decks completely free for easy access to the foredeck for the sunbathing area and the electric windlass. In the interior, the warm atmosphere (cherry finish) on board the Oceanis 40CC is essential to a good quality of life on board. To starboard, the saloon table and the raised settees ensure a pleasant "sea view" from inside the boat. Opposite to port, is the navigation station: chart table with stowage, bookshelves, 16-function electrical control panel, and all the room you need for on-board electronics. In the forward cabin, your guests have a large double berth, hanging locker, many other lockers and an en suite head compartment. In the passageway to port, which runs alongside the large engine compartment, the Oceanis 40CC's galley has everything you would normally find in the best-equipped kitchens: freezer, refrigerator, double stainless steel sink with hot and cold pressurised water, three-burner gimballed stove and many cupboards and drawers. As for the master cabin, all the incomparable advantages of the centre cockpit in terms of comfort and space have been fully exploited: large double berth with access from both sides, vanity-desk with mirror and lockers, large hanging lockers and your own head compartment with WC and separate shower. The Oceanis 40CC is truly the product of in-depth study into the expectations of ocean-going leisure sailors. A successful marriage of classicism and modern technology.
