The 2013 MJM 40z is a fiberglass Downeast yacht powered by twin Volvo Penta diesel engines. The design combines Doug Zern's naval architecture with Boston BoatWork's epoxy construction, delivering the efficient ride quality and timeless styling characteristic of the builder. Twin Volvo engines with IPS drive system provide responsive handling, joystick docking capability, and dynamic positioning to hold position automatically. The IPS system achieves exceptional fuel efficiency compared to similarly sized yachts. Both engines are maintained to high standards: the starboard engine was professionally rebuilt and carries approximately 200 hours since completion, while the port engine recently finished Volvo's comprehensive 5-year service with approximately 50 hours since completion.
The single-level interior layout flows seamlessly from helm to cockpit, creating a unified entertaining space. The cockpit features power-opening forward windows, roll-up pilot house enclosures, and a custom Bimini with full enclosure and privacy screens that convert the space into a protected sleeping area. Wide side decks, dual boarding doors, and a flush deck enhance safety and mobility throughout. A Freedom Lift and custom dinghy tie-down system support efficient tender launching and securing.
Below deck, accommodations include a forward island berth, split head with separate shower, convertible dinette, and galley finished in cherry interior with teak and holly sole. This layout suits extended cruising for a couple with occasional guests. Equipment includes a full Raymarine electronics suite, upgraded canvas, night vision capability, and enhanced WiFi connectivity. The yacht is maintained at Front Street Shipyard in Belfast and has received consistent professional care.
