This is a great Bruce Farr design. These boats are timeless. The 40.7's have crossed oceans, won Hobart races, and have been the boat of choice for many large race fleets. We love these boats. Over 40 are still sailing in Australia. This one has to be best value, but she is really needing some refit and cleaning. If you would like to purchase a quality Beneteau Yacht at a bargain price, this could be your boat, but have your cleaning gloves on.
New Anitfoul September 2024. The hull underbody presents very well. The gelcoat and fibreglass is also in good condition. Any new owner will have some soting out to do, and also some deep cleaning below- but reggardless- this is a very good deal.
