1994 Beneteau 40

The 1994 Beneteau 40 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built for extended cruising and liveaboard comfort. Powered by a Perkins Prima diesel engine rated at 50 horsepower, it reaches a cruising speed of 7 knots with a maximum speed of 9 knots. The hull features a 4-foot 6-inch draft, making it suitable for shallow waters and coastal passages. The boat displaces 17,525 pounds and carries 40 gallons of fuel and 150 gallons of fresh water.

The interior layout comprises two cabins and two heads with shower facilities. The main salon features a U-shaped settee and convertible dining table, while the galley is equipped with a 2-burner propane cooktop, refrigerator/freezer combination, microwave, and double stainless-steel sinks. Throughout the boat, headroom reaches 6 feet 4 inches, with extensive custom cabinetry designed to maximize storage for extended voyages.

The deck and rigging are well-maintained and equipped for cruising. A Maxwell windlass manages ground tackle—a 35-pound Bruce anchor, a Danforth fluke anchor, and 260 feet of chain and rode. The sails include a mainsail with a Mack Pack, a new 100% jib on roller furling, and two additional 150% genoa sails. The bimini and dodger are two years old, and standing rigging dates to approximately ten years prior.

The boat carries a comprehensive Raymarine electronics package: chartplotter, AIS, radar, autopilot, and wind, speed, and depth instruments, along with a VHF radio. A dedicated navigation station includes a chart table and custom cabinetry. The boat comes with its own trailer.
