1981 Irwin 40 Citation

The 1981 Irwin 40 Citation is a classic fiberglass cruising sailboat that has undergone comprehensive restoration. Designed by Ted Irwin, the 40-footer features the clean lines characteristic of the era and measures 12.17 feet across the beam. A single Yanmar diesel engine rated at 27 horsepower provides auxiliary power, delivering a cruising speed of 6 knots and a maximum speed of 7 knots.

Below deck, the yacht offers two cabins and one head. The interior blends original teak and mahogany joinery with modern updates, including new wiring and current navigation electronics. The refit also added solar panels, a wind generator, and a water maker to the systems.

The restoration addressed the boat's structural foundation and systems. The hull and deck were rebuilt, rigging was overhauled, and the rudder was refurbished. The Yanmar engine has been maintained throughout. These upgrades ensure the boat is ready for extended coastal cruising and open-water passages.
