1996 Cabo Rico Northeast 400

The Cabo Rico Northeast 400 is a 40-foot fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Mark Ellis, built to balance serious sailing capability with pilothouse cruising comfort. Powered by a Yanmar diesel engine, the boat features a bow thruster for close-quarters handling and an EFOY power system for auxiliary energy generation. Electric winches are installed throughout, reducing physical demand on deck work.

Below deck, the layout centers on a queen master stateroom. The pilothouse configuration provides weather protection and visibility while underway, making the boat equally suited to coastal cruising or extended liveaboard use. The boat's design emphasizes both seaworthiness and livability, combining the performance characteristics of a sailing cruiser with the conveniences expected in a modern cruising home.
