Overview
The Formula 40 PC exemplifies the qualities that distinguish an upscale yacht from a typical vessel. Designed with attention to detail and premium craftsmanship, this model offers a blend of comfort, functionality, and refined aesthetics. The yacht features thoughtful design elements both below and above deck, catering to the needs of discerning boaters.
Interior Living Spaces
The galley on the port side is well-appointed with a coffee docking station and ample counter space measuring approximately 29.5 by 30 inches leading up to the sink. It includes a two-burner electric stove equipped with a micro switch that automatically shuts off when the lid is closed, a 5.2 cubic foot refrigerator, and a 1.8 cubic foot freezer. A notable feature is the use of dovetail joinery on all drawers, a hallmark of Formula's craftsmanship. The main cabin benefits from three port lights and innovative privacy solutions, including up lights on dimmers that provide adjustable mood lighting and rotating covers for directional illumination. Privacy is enhanced beyond typical sliding curtains through magnetic catches securing the covers on both sides. Additional storage is abundant, with cedar-lined lockers behind mirrored hatches and a port-side cabinet housing a privacy safe and dovetailed drawers that retract smoothly when closed. Under the forward berth, two pull-out drawers offer storage within storage, also featuring the automatic retraction mechanism. Overhead, a hatch provides natural light and serves as an emergency escape, complete with a sliding screen for ventilation and a blackout shade for sleeping comfort.
Private Accommodations
The aft cabins stand out as particularly comfortable spaces within the yacht. Furnished with ultra-leather seating, the port side cabin includes a 19-inch LCD television and generous storage compartments, including dedicated spaces for pedestals that convert the area into a berth. The cabin offers approximately five feet of overhead clearance, allowing for comfortable standing without risk of head contact. The sole extends sufficiently to facilitate natural movement within the berth. However, some minor drawbacks include a Lucite shower door that tends to scrape along the deck during deployment and a port light that requires significant pressure to close securely.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The Formula 40 PC's exterior showcases practical and premium design elements. The extended swim platform measures 11 feet by three and a half feet and is hydraulically actuated, doubling as a personal watercraft lift. A three-step boarding ladder is conveniently stored inside a deck hatch. The aft cockpit provides ample seating designed to keep all passengers engaged, featuring two pedestal stations that can support a table or be lowered to create a sun pad. A centrally located hatch offers direct access to the twin IPS 500 engines. Seating arrangements allow passengers to face the captain or recline comfortably while enjoying the view. The yacht features a walk-through windshield with handholds strategically placed for safety and ease of movement. The deck is constructed with non-skid surfaces and exhibits exceptional solidity, allowing one to walk freely without deck flexing—a testament to Formula's premium build quality. At the bow, custom-made 10.5-inch cleats replace standard off-the-shelf hardware, emphasizing the bespoke nature of the vessel. Additional details include non-skid surfaces adjacent to stainless steel footrests, a heavy-duty stainless steel windshield frame, and overhead supports that double as handholds.
Conclusion
The Formula 40 PC presents a well-rounded package that reflects the brand's commitment to upscale yacht design. From meticulous interior joinery and innovative privacy features to robust exterior construction and thoughtful deck layouts, this yacht offers both comfort and functionality. While minor issues such as the shower door and port light operation exist, they do not detract significantly from the overall quality and experience. The Formula 40 PC stands as a compelling choice for those seeking a premium cruising vessel.
