Patience is a near perfectly presented Delphia 40.
This two cabin gem of a boat will tick the boxes of the most fastidious sailors looking for an extremely well made and appointed cruising yacht.
She has modern timeless lines, 2.2 metres of head room, perfectly appointed galley with heaps of storage and refrigeration, large living space in almost perfect condition, inmast furling main for short handed or solo sailing, a lovely teak cockpit, easy access to and from the water, 2 bathrooms with 2 electric toilets and showers plus deck shower, a low 725 hours regularly serviced Volvo motor with Sail Drive and Folding prop, 5 year old standing rigging, Seldon Mast and Boom and a stiff 2.2 metre keel for keeping her stable and sailing well both upwind and for when the wind comes in.
Her owner recently had a new Dodger and Bimini made which present as new with infill to keep you out of the sun and protected when cruising on those hot days or up in the northern parts.
The Delphia 40 will sleep 8 if needed and has storage space that is rarely matched on a 40 foot yacht. So if long range cruising is your thing I can't imagine having to leave too much behind. The quality of the fixtures and fittings gives you a real feel for how well the Delphia Yachts have been constructed. These yachts sail as well as any others in her division and have been used for circumnavigations.
If local twilight races are your thing then she has been set up to sail easily shorthanded and then the 2.2 Metre 2750kg keel will ensure that she is not left floundering at the back of the pack.
The more I write about this boat the more I appreciate just how nice she is. So please give Mark Bulka from 38 South Yacht Sales a call to arrange an inspection on
