2026 M.A.T. 1340
About This Yacht
The M.A.T. 1340 is a 44-foot sailing yacht designed by Mark Mills and built by M.A.T. Yachts in Turkey. Conceived as a modern IRC racer with dual-purpose capability, the design balances offshore and inshore racing performance through careful attention to appendage geometry, waterline length, and displacement. The yacht follows an extensive research and development phase to deliver genuine performance across both racing disciplines.
The interior is laid out as a racer-cruiser with three cabins, prioritizing the needs of sailing crews. The design philosophy centers on practicality and usability rather than unnecessary accommodation, reflecting a boat built by sailors for sailors. An extensive options list allows owners to configure the yacht to their specific racing and cruising demands.
The hull is constructed in fiberglass and powered by a single diesel engine. M.A.T. Yachts' proven building methodology ensures quality execution at competitive cost, providing the foundation for the design to realize its performance potential on the water.
